Hot Toys Darth Vader : tips , tricks and any other mods

[Too Much Garlic]

Cool. Would actually have been fun to see Harrison Ford as Vader.

I have officially abandoned my own David Prowse head sculpt project, because I need to work on too many other projects.
I pass the torch happily to another fine artist who is going to make 3D-prints of the Prowse head, and his 3D model looks great so far. He needs a minimum of 15 interested buyers before his project can go into production; he currently has about 11, and I am one.

I am told that there will be several different options: Bald or sculpted hair, neck or no neck, and two different sizes- for those who have shortened the body height of their HT Vader and for those who have not.

What would be cool is if someone could finally make an accurate Vader Helmet sculpt in 1/6 or any scale besides 1:1 for once.

See my scaled project in the custom's Star Wars section.

I hope it’s not just me that has an impossible time changing the hands of the empire Hot Toys version?

Come on people, if you want a David Prowse head sculpt, go to the Facebook page and post a comment expressing interest. There are 15 slots required to get the project into production. I want a Prowse head for my HT Vader! Don't you?

I've never liked the stock cape and robe on the ANH vader version (especially the robe)...so i finally got around to making new ones using Rayon Elastane fabric. It has a nice blackness to it and drapes great.

Comparison with stock R1 version...

Looking really nice there, Matrix

Wow excellent custom cape Matrix. The lighting of your figure definitely makes it look like Vader from ANH.

Totally agree. These look fantastic, and with the 3D printed helmets coming from Carsten we all can have some really remarkable Vaders.

Oh the day when I can assemble my own or look upon another collector’s ultimate Vader
Soon I hope...

Does anyone know if the MMS434 helmet fits on R1 w out any mods?

Contemplating if I should pick up the two pack of 434 or just get the parts to turn my R1 to look like ANH.

Thanks!

You'll need to take the upper torso apart first...
