1/6 Hot Toys MMS699 & MMS700 ROTJ Darth Vader

[Cap'n Cook]

For those interested here's a comparison of the severed hand with the old SS deluxe version.

It may look a tad crude and toyish now, but i kinda prefer the busyness of the SS stump.

The HT one looks like poop.

Yeah, HT put like no effort into Vader's stump. Even the 1/4 scale looks crappy.

Matrix, I love your poses... but I'm maybe not feeling Vader using a handrail.

He’s probably using it because David couldn’t see for **** in that helmet.

The HT one looks like poop.

SSC one looks like candies.

Kit has a few of the deluxe sets available on his site. Just snagged one myself.

Sideshow doesn't get enough credit for all the stuff they get right and even better than Hot Toys.

Comparison of the different ROTJ 1/6 Vader's spanning 20+ years...MEDICOM, SIDESHOW and HOT TOYS
I picked up the old MEDICOM version a few years back. Unfortunately the pleather suit had completely crumbled to dust, so i had to paint over the under fabric.

I have all 3 of those as well. How's your Medicom? Is that still the original suit?

I have one I bought still NIB waaay back when it was released. I never opened it as years later I read about the suit flaking. It looks like new still in the box, but I read others who also had it stored and new in box said it started to flake shortly after they opened it, so I never have.

 

[loki2371]

Never mind... I didn't read the post. I was just looking at the pics...

I guess mine will never get unboxed. The minute I do it'll crumble I guess..

I might be proven wrong, but i'd say it's doubtful if anyone still has the MEDI version with a pristine suit.

I own the Tomy Real Action Vader too. The kit with the metal body you have to assemble. I think it's like 10" so like a 1/8 scale figure. I've also never opened that one as well. Not even sure what the suit material is. Wonder if that's pleather as well and will deteriorate..

Vader has certainly grown over the years.

Amazing COMP, matrix!


Have to ask: what's your fav Vader of that line-up?

Nice group...

I have the original Kenner 12" (from my childhood but missing the lightsaber ), the GG jumbo retro 12", the MEDI ROTJ, both SS ANH & ESB/ROTJ Dx, HT ANH, HT OWK dx, HT ROTJ dx, HT 1/4 ROTJ, and several of the Hasbro 12' Vader's (Orig, Deluxe ROTJ, Maul 2pk, Anakin to Vader 2pk, Anakin masterpiece w/book)

I also have most 6" and I believe every Hasbro 3 3/4 Vader figure carded (not the original vintage, but I do have my 2 loose ones from childhood) from '95 to present. The Hasbro epic heroes and unleashed figures. And I the Tomy 10" and that Hyper real rubber Hasbro 8" Vader, which is surprisingly a really great Vader figure. The Jumbo Jaaks pacific Vader.... The Medicom VCD, a Beast Kingdom Vader. I'm sure others I'm forgetting too..

Then there's a few statues, a couple MR lightsabers, the Code 3 Metal Vader's Tie Fighter as well as other versions..

Basically, I too have a Vader collecting problem...

ANH Vader, as it's my favourite Vader look from my favourite movie.

Having said that, i'm loving the new ROTJ version more and more. It's easily the best 1/6 Vader yet.

HT did a nice job on revising the mask, and the Shaw sculpt is just spectacular.
And then there's the USB light up features, which are the icing on the cake.

 

[Wor-Gar]

ANH Vader, as it's my favourite Vader look from my favourite movie.

Have to agree on that for me too.

But I'm very happy to hear such high praise about the ROTJ... I thought it was a completionist figure for me, but sounds like I will be able to upgrade my ESB as well. Bonus!

 

[pixletwin]

I remember reading in this thread somewhere that the DX27 or the MMS338 Vader bodies can be used as a swap on the too short ESB body. Is that true?

 

[Felinx]

Still don't think a single Vader release in 1/6 has nailed onscreen Vader yet. In Matrix's line up his Kaiyodo custom to me still seems closest to "nailed," even though the new HT ROTJ version is a nice bump in accuracy over the HT ESB.

Like Indiana Jones, it just may be that Vader will forever be on the list of characters that can only really get 98% to fully nailed with a ton of fan customizing love. If the stunning (but decade long) TooMuchGarlic custom Vader 3D sculpt project ever crosses the finish line then that may finally be the day that Vader is conquered in 1/6.

Just got my deluxe Vader this evening, only to realize that he won't fit into a detolf with either included base, and doesn't come with a standard base. D'oh!

Oh wow there goes my plans… will have to figure something else out.
