1/6 Hot Toys MMS699 & MMS700 ROTJ Darth Vader

[Felinx]

Some happy people got Vader head at Toy Anxiety.

How much was the helmet and head+bracer? (or did they break the non-ex, so just loose head with no bracer, and no lightning head)

 

[Wor-Gar]

$59.99 for the 3-part mask, bracer + dome (full Vader head)

 

[pixletwin]

Not a bad price.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Surprisingly good price I thought.

I was almost tempted to grab one.

Great I got my Collector's Edition from the comic book shop who ordered it for me. No issues or broken parts. Looks more screen accurate than my Rogue One Vader so I'm happy.

One thing is that I did have a bit of pleather damage on my older RO figure where the crotch grabber stand touches the figure so I placed thin flat plastic disks in between that area on my new one to prevent damage. Also the neck of the cape was a bit damaged on the RO .I'm a bit worried now because I thought I avoided pleather damage.

Was it an absolutely nessessary upgrade? No, but Vader is the only character I obsess about on the small details (That and Alien Big Chap)

Anyways no issues whatsoever. I feel this is my definitive Vader and not a place holder until a better one is released.

 

[Lord Valefor]

The flare of the dome on the ROTJ looks a little long to me.

I think it's fine. At least it's more proportionate than the Rogue One Vader.

To be fair, Rogue One Vader is supposed to look differently to ROTJ Vader. They each have their own respective movie designs and the Hot Toys figures are meant to represent that specific version.

Unless you mean the ROTJ Vader figure is more screen accurate to its ROTJ counterpart than the RO figure does to its screen counterpart.

It’s a good representation out the box for ROTJ, but imo, Idk if it should be considered an upgrade as the designs aren’t interchangeable, if that makes sense.

Yeah, all my capes have pleather peeling. It's because they're constantly rubbing against the neck of the sculpt. I peeled all of mine off and painted with some liquid latex paint

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yes, my ANH collar is also peeling.

I mean for me it's more about the helmet. The RO is too insect like and RotJ more like what Vader looks like in the films in general (not counting the minor helmet differences) .ESB was long face, weird eye shape and droopy tusks so I'm glad I skipped it.

 

[Lord Valefor]

Yes, my ANH collar is also peeling.

This time I put the collar over the neck

 

[GodParticle]

This time I put the collar over the neck

It's actually supposed to be over the neck on RoTJ. It's wider than the previous versions

 

[Lord Valefor]

I used the Rogue One stand because it matches BobaFett and Stormtrooper next to him.

No real issues with the cape. I managed to place it like I wanted, but it is harder to drape it than the RO (I was going to switch it but like I said the collar is peeling)

 

[Karst]

My copy has arrived!

I was planning on displaying him with the helmet on facing Luke, but that head sculpt is actually so eye-catching...

Mine came with some poor QC on the chest armor, hoping sideshow sends me a replacement.

Other than that, he really is quite impressive.

Sorry for the spam!

Vader showing off his new/old ANH (MMS279) cape while Silverhand plays Imperial March in the background.
Wasn't sure if it was worth the purchase at first, but now that I have it, I can say it definitely is. Theres a noticeable weight difference too, so I decided to get my scale and check.
Turns out the RotJ cape weighs 49.5 grams, and ANH weighs 85.3. So no wonder it drapes so much better.

Okay, so big question...between this one and the Empire version from a couple years ago, which do people like better...I can only keep one...Thanks

ROTJ Vader is my vote. No comparison

 

[rayeknor]

Its not even close. With dx28 on a nice second place, this one is by far their best Vader ever in my opinion, including future announced releases.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Agreed, keep the ROTJ version. It gives you more options also.

RotJ for sure. I had the ESB version and it was great, but RotJ version just seems to have more presence or something.
