I’m probably in for this. I’ve always been a fan of the Rebels Vader design and I love the Twilight of the Apprentice finale.

Chills, man.

Might get Vader just because it’s inspired by McQuarrie’s original design for him.

Was always bummed that Sideshow cancelled their official 1/6 version of it.

Exactly what I was thinking! I always loved the McQuarrie concept art of Vader. Will definitely get this unless it looks really bad lol

 

[HyperDrive]

This has always been a sick Vader design.

Hmm, I've never been too interested in collecting animated 1/6 figures before, but I was a big Rebels fan and loved this Vader design, so might have to reconsider.

I'm curious how Hono Studios will compare to Hot Toys movie line.

 

[sithlord13]

Really don’t need another Vader but it looks great. Tempting but I will probably pass.

 

[chrisstbh]

Huh? What? Is this real? Yes. Mine. Gimme.

I wish Hot Toys would have stayed away from that path. It's already tough to follow their main Star Wars line. Jumping on that animated line would likely be the end of me. Just imagine the potential. It's not just Rebels .It also opens the door to a full The Clone Wars line later on

 

[Cap'n Cook]

All these ‘looks great’ but that isn’t the actual figure right?

 

[Tee-Kay]

Nope. Likely taken from a promo image for the series.

Don’t give them any ideas

Don’t give them any ideas

Howard ain't waiting for me to get this kind of ideas.

The worst part of this development is that it will probably divert funds and ressources from their realistic line. In one hand, it's gonna help me balance my collecting budget but, in the other hand, character selection will likely be more limited.

I was at best lukewarm on Rebels but always enjoyed their McQuarrie inspired designs. I hope they nail the 3D versions.

 

[IronPatriotFTW]

Finally, a non pleather suit lol

 

[GhostAsparagus]

Looks cool but tough to justify another Vader for myself. If HONO ever steal Clone Wars stuff away from Sideshow though there could be trouble. Really want a spider legs crazy Maul.

If truly no Pleather then this is the 1/6 Vader I’ve been waiting for. For sure like this design.

I would imagine they're mostly relying on the files from the show which are already 3D

Sounds about right. On first glance they look accurate to the show, but I haven't had a chance for a comparison.
