    1/6 SSC ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader Modification Thread

    Pics when you have a chance would be great. But I guess one thing that's confusing me is this: the amount by which the KP02 arms are shorter than the SS arms is evenly and proportionally divided between the biceps and the forearms. So, if I make up the length difference entirely in the...

    1/6 SSC ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader Modification Thread

    It wasn't the arm length in and of itself that bothered me. I assumed they needed to be shorter to be in proportion with the shorter torso. I just don't want to cut the arms on the suits to take up the excess material, since I obviously can't go back from that. I'm just wondering if that's...

    1/6 SSC ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader Modification Thread

    Got a couple KP02's to shorten my ANH and ROTJ Vaders, but ended up getting cold feet and didn't make the swap. What's making me hesitate, besides the additional cost of the bodies, and the cost of replacing my lforigno cape on ANH and the perfectly good stock cape on ROTJ, is how much sleeve...

    Either that, or they didn't get the scale of the head correct, or set the head too low in the mask. I noticed this as well, but the photo doesn't work without the tusks lined up. I took both photos with the camera on a tripod at the same distance, but when I saw the results I questioned...

    I found a way to participate while waiting for a head with both tusks present.

    Iforigno Darth Vader Custom Cape/Tunic Sets *Now Accepting Orders, Info on Post #580*

    Sorry about the bad news. I hope something turns up for you real soon. I just ordered a couple KP02s for my ANH and ROTJ Vaders to deal with the height. I expect I'll be in touch once I've done the swap and have measurements.

    Oh, that's nice. Thanks very much!

    Any pics of that? And I assume you had to get a custom cape after taking it down 3/4"? Although given the stock ANH cape, the custom would be worth it even without a height mod.

    I think my ANH was about 14-1/4" out of the box. After the torso mod he's 13-7/8". I recall being a little disappointed because I had read it would take 1/2-3/4" off the height and I had hoped to get closer to 13-1/2". My ROTJ was also 14-1/4" out of the box. I pushed down on the shoulders...

    1/6 SSC ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader Modification Thread

    For those who have lowered their Vader... doesn't it make the cape too long? I was able to get my ANH Vader down to 13-7/8" with the torso swap but bought the lforigno "short" cape for it. I've been thinking of getting a pair of KP02s or TTM20s to get both Vaders down to the 13-1/4" to 13-1/2"...

    Great pic! But really demonstrates just how much the height is off. I got my ANH Vader down to 13-7/8" with the torso mod, and display him by himself because he's still too tall. My ROTJ Vader is 14" after pushing him down to get the joints seated... was 14-1/4" out of the box. Thinking of...

    1/6 SS ESB/ROTJ VADER: POLL: Did yours arrive damaged or have QC issues?

    My first head was perfect aside from one broken tusk. I got a replacement with a badly scratched helmet. At first I thought no problem, I'll just swap helmets, but then I noticed one of the gunmetal cheeks has a scratch that goes through the paint to the black plastic. I got on chat and get a...

    That sounded like excellent advice, so I just fired up the chat feature. The first message I got was "have you filled out the exchange/return forms" followed by a link. Well, so much for IM, so I clicked the "call me" button. My phone rang immediately, the robot tells me that I'm being...

    Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

    Waitaminute... did your original have MISSING tusks or BROKEN tusks? I've heard of people finding the loose tusk in a box and gluing it back on, but not snapping a tusk off and gluing it where one was broken. How did you get the good tusks off the one helmet? Did you heat them up and soften...

    Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

    So, has anyone gotten a replacement helmet that was worse than the first? Mine was perfect except for a broken tusk. It took 3 weeks to get my replacement, and it looks like they played soccer with it at the factory. Scuffs and scratches all over the helmet. I thought maybe I'd just swap...

    I didn't check it at first, just measured it at 14.25". Seemed like that's what I recall my ANH Vader being before the torso mod, so I chalked it up to SS fibbing about fixing the height this time around. But then when I saw people throwing around this 13.5" number, I took a closer look...

    Sideshow ESB/ROTJ Darth Vader

    I'm confused. Where are you guys measuring to? Out of box, mine was 14.25" from ground to highest point of dome. Seeing this 13.5" stuff caused me to revisit it. I pushed down on mine and the shoulder armor seemed to lower a bit and bring the head down with it. Kept pushing, something...

    From my unboxing / inspecting effort last night. I hope to take some better pics in the next couple weeks if I can find some spare time and set up the light tent.
