1/6 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 452 - Star Wars: Episode V ESB - Darth Vader

[rayeknor]

Lets hope HT scale down the 1/4 for the inevitable 1/6 ROTJ version...

By the looks of it the 1/4 is their RoTJ Vader, ending the line. But you never know, and Vader is a licence to print money.

i`m starting too like my esb vader now. i did some work to the mask i resculpted the eye brows widen the the bridge on both sides of the nose. did my best with enlarging the nose plug. i think with those fixes he actually looks a heck a lot better. took care of those bug eye look. i customized an extra body gave him the top half of the RO vader and the lower half of ANH. but still managed to give him the arms off of the ANH vader body which i had to do some work to get them to fit nothing pretty. take a photo soon.

pics or it didn't happen gg.

take a photo soon as i`m done with it, i used some metal pieces for the tusks since mine were both missing the original tusk`s. i think it made a big improvement. i could never figure it out why the eye`s looked too pronounced bug eyed until i read something that you were talking about the eye brows weren't big enough, the nose bridge was not wide enough. so i thought i would try it out and see if it would make a difference i think it did a lot.

WoW! Great pose and futzing work!

I got my replacement Vader in. No broken tusks luckily this time but the helmet had come apart in the box so I?ll have to glue it back on. Love this figure though. Even with the inaccurate helmet he?s just so damn imposing.

I thought the helmet was just loosely snapped on to begin with. Never was glued...

I?ll snap some pics later of the piece I?m referring to. You can tell the glue split

OK,get it now

im probably wrong but I call that a mask, that?s why I was confused . Didn?t want you glueing what didn?t need glueing.

i consider the dome part on top of the head the helmet and the face area the mask..
my bad I guess

Makes sense lol. I just call the entire thing a mask. The nub black face sculpt is hilarious looking. I?m just glad the tusks aren?t broken on this one as even with the this piece not being glued down you can?t tell when it?s on the figure. I?ll likely glue it when I get some spare time

Wow if mine came like that id ask for a replacement stat.

Normally I would but this is my second one. Nothing is actually broken luckily. Just needs a touch of glue

Is there a better option for shoulder armor out there? The one that comes with this one kind of bulges out by the neck and then straightens out at the bottom, making his chest look sunken in. I'm assuming that's not accurate, right? I tried the rogue one, but it has a huge gap by the neck and doesn't quite fit

Someone has replaced them with RO and they looked pretty good to me.

That's odd. Definitely didn't fit well on mine

What are the chances of a waitlist conversion on this, having just got on it in the last few days?

Been on it for a couple of weeks now, so not high.
