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

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

I really like ESB Vader, but I honestly just can't justify having more than one Vader in my collection. I consider him along the same lines as Chewie. Sure there's subtle differences, but if you have one, you almost have them all. Chewie is Chewie, and Vader is Vader, no matter which one you have.

I think I'm likely just going to stick with my ANH Vader because I just about have all of the original characters from that specific film, and having the entire cast from the first SW film to me is a bit more iconic.

If I did upgrade, I'd probably just upgrade to the 2.0 ANH Vader if I were to get a new Vader.

Just say it - "I bought Winston instead of ESB Vader."

Haha. Actually, I bought Winston in lieu of Hoth Leia. Though I might get her somewhere down the line.

"If you think he's so cool, why don't you be Winston?" I was actually thinking that even myself even before that kid said that. Although let's be honest, if someone were to guess which kid was which character without reading their name plates, they'd probably guess he's Winston.

Because nobody buys 1/4 scale?

Has anybody else picked up on the ESB Vader? I've been looking around for more info and haven't found anything.

Ernie Hudson has had a really bad last month for GB - first the Winston fig comes out with bad apps (and this after Winston always being the last "do I really need him or save the $?" choice for everyone buying the EB figs) and then that scene in Stranger Things happens.

Well, at least he can say that ST Season 2 was pretty weak compared to Season 1, so he gets his revenge.

And hey - someone passed on Carrie in ESB to get Winston. Ernie's like...

I hope the base is that light up platform where Vader knelt before the Emperor to discuss Luke.

Does anyone actually think this will be any different from HT R1 or ANH Vader besides the gloves?

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

Does anyone actually think HT will change anything about this Vader besides the gloves?

Yes.

Gloves, chest box, belt boxes, chin grill, helmet placement, no widow's peak... there's more.

Nice, ESB/ROTJ was always my favourite style of armour, with the chest armour on full display, and nice shiny helmet.

Time to upgrade my SS Vader!

Looks the same to me. They probably won’t change a thing. Especially the details everyone wants them to change.

Sat and actually read the page today and it says they'll be showing off the prototype ESB Vader at the Hot Toys store starting next Thursday, so we should have some good pics then. It probably will go up for order next week too.

Hope we see some new pics with the belt and codpiece lifted up higher. Because I'm having a hard time getting excited looking at the poorly futzed figure in the current pic.

What's wrong with current pics futzing?

Damn it Hot Toys. Now I don't know whether to get the two pack, or just grab Tarkin on his own and wait to see how the ESB Vader turns out...
