Can't change the batteries in the belt and chest? they look like closed compartments

 

[budafett]

That does look stunning.

Did not expect all the light ups. I thought only the saber did. I am exited for this even more now.

They did a great job on this. A good Vader PF for those that missed out on IS Vader.

 

[Rbeato]

Verrrry tempting

 

[Boboli]

Impressive
But WOW with the surprise on lighting !!!

 

[Gipetto0812]

Very cool surprise with all the lighting! Turned out to be a really amazing piece

 

[MegaPrime33]

It does look great overall but I have my qualms about it. I've had bad luck with belts deteriorating over time on figures and foresee the same with this. I also really dislike the lightsaber requiring an AC adapter to light up. It means I would have to display this near a power outlet or be creative hiding extension cords. I'd almost rather get the mythos now over this one.

I'm also still cheesed at the fact that there's no swap-out option for just a hilt. The blade sticking out to one side kills some display options.

I've been using this faux leather conditioner from amazon called "TriNova Leatherette, Vinyl and Faux Leather Cleaner & Conditioner"
and it's worked very very well so far. Has a shine to the finish though, so if you want something more matte, you'd probably need to go the 303 route. But both protect and increase longevity of pleather.

Interesting. Do you use that just on the bigger statues, or on Hot Toys stuff as well?

Some photos are popping up on the socials and Reddit. He's proving to be a bit tricky to photograph, and in some phone pics he looks like his neck is too long.

This is probably one of the better pics so far (Reddit):

 

[Rbeato]

Neck looks okay to me. Grabbed some screen snips from the Batman statue collector video.
Maybe it’s the dome looking short in the back and not going down enough? Not really that knowledgeable on Vaders different helmets and if accurate or not to ANH.

 

[How2TrainKaiju]

It's not egregious, but the gap between his shoulders and the bottom of the dome "shikoro" or whatever is a bit more than I'm used to.
