Darth Vader, custom figures.

[hurricane]

What an excellent question.

repainted first generation hasbro burnt whinger head,recasts used for the ROTS versions as they are just a tiny bit smaller

Odd question Hurricane, but this seems the best place to ask as the costumes are VERY simular. Have you ever done a luke skywalker from dark empire, as the character design looks like he raided his father's old wardrobe?....

And If you haven't can I talk to you about a commission?


And if this is the wrong place to ask this, I'm appologising in advance.

That would truly be one hell of a custom Hurc! Go for it!
Hope we see that one as it builds!

Dark Empire Luke such a cool and evil luke,like his father. The comic has the coolest imperial officer outfit design, real nazi like.

I saw this on your auction page! Sweet Jesus, that is AWESOME!!

 

[Darren Carnall]

that pic looks so real it's scary... just looks like Vader from the films.

Here's the custom Vader I did about 8 years ago. I made a total of 3 of them and they all ended up selling to people in Japan. I remember getting tons of emails from Malaysia and the Philippians from people asking for the figure recipe (which I never revealed....but is now the common Kaiyodo/Electronic Hasbro conversion). Forgive me for the crappy photos I took back then with a crappy dig. camera. Just thought it might be interesting for people to see an 'old' custom Vader. He stood around 14 inches tall.

That looks very nice!
Thanks for sharing.

i like that one resembles how i did my first vaders.....latest ones here, one ESB no lights, two ROTS ,all for forum members.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Here is my custom Vader from the master himself.... Looks phenomenal, I cannot wait to have it next to my Evil Obi Wan! I still can't believe I will finally have one of Glenn's Vaders. It was a long time coming... and worth every damn second.

glad your pleased mate

'parts bin Vader' cough cough, consists of san older body i built, hybrid hasbro standard bod/talky vader body/dragon/marmit.Hand sewn body suit,multiple hands fitting the sideshow pegs, including pointy finger,clenched fists,force push etc etc, will get a cathode saber when ive time to go with SSc OT Ben,
Tried to replicate the props with this down to the chips and uneveness of the upper armor, which in ANH was brush painted...chest box is a cast of the kaiyodo one, totally reworked to match ANH, belt boxes are genuine kaiyodo and have the correct red washers on the six buttons,belts leatherette.Helmets a casted kit one of mine,no reveal ,no removable dome,be no point as in ANH the prop wasnt too pretty under the dome.Some quirks on the ANH version are the fact that the two tone paint differs from ESB and ROTJ with the left hand cheek rail being gunmetal instead of black ,also smaller chin vent, and one tusk is black.Dome is hasbro shortened in the back and the widows peak added,the ANH should have a slimmer central ridge but i havent got that far yet.Cape is hand made and lined, needs to settle to loose its bulkyness, and i may water treat it.I recently received a gift of a .45 scale ANH hilt, im gonna use this, as its easier than my full size one ,to take measurements from and machne a master for casting from.All finishes are dusted(??) or semi gloss .

Bwaynes ESB vader, full spec 'cept speach, this one took along time as it was built during alot of transistions in how i made them,use of the sideshow body crossed with the hasbro talky vader body, new sharper brow detailing, fully revised internal detailing,new saber hand which detachs allowing the use of other preposed hands.

I can't wait. I am like a kid at Christmas, only I am 28 and should know better. Great work!

 

[paulcarson]

Now that's IMPRESSIVE ! I love the matt look of the helmet. It looks right to me and I know the ANH Vader costume like the back of my hand. Hope to see some shots of him in a duel with old Obi Wan soon !

 

[Lord Vicious]

Damn Glenn, you've shown again why you are the 1/6 Vader-master
