1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 279 - Star Wars Episode IV: 1/6th scale Darth Vader

[Darthrazz]

I'll post this in this thread , why not.... I finally watched Star Wars with my six year old son this weekend....his first impression when he saw Darth Vader was priceless...as Darth Vader walked into the Tantive , my son whispred in awe under his breath ....."Darth Vader!" ...and this scene will forever be in his mind as his intro to Darth Vader, the way it was for me as a 6 year old in 1977.

And if they really wanted to be awesome, they could have made the syringe needle real metal instead if that chunky looking matte silver plastic pin

The cool thing about that Vader intro is he doesn't even have to say anything, and he still comes off intimidating and badass as hell.

Not sure how many movie villains have ever been able to pull that off.

Since the Interrogator Droid was constructed from two astromech domes, let the size comparisons commence with Sideshow's Artoo...

Probably true, but still

I didn't know that. Nice piece of SW trivia. If that's the case I'd say the ID is a little undersized

Vader is a great villain! I love vader! I really want a 1/6 perfect anh vader. I have had several 1/6 vader figure. Hasbro, both sideshow (delux sold cause his thin arms and his giant gloves...aaarrgggg, and anh never came out from his box). Hot toys gave me a hope. A perfect anh vader for my showcase. I was expecting for a figure like reeve superman. Something of definitive. Now every picture that I see encourage me to improve my custom vader that has permanently taken its place in the showcase. Hot toys vader is a nice figure. It's really impressive, but that weird gloves, that out of size chestbox, that not screen accurate belt , that sporty slim body, that surprised facemask. Oh my god. I've to became a customizer! So I do it! But hot toys have broken my heart! Sorry for my english.... sorry about the venting.

Yeah, a few of us are building 1:1 versions of the Interrogator Droid right now out of fiberglass from new restored molds. Here is the TOP part, which you can clearly see when separated that it was made from an Astromech dome:

I only discovered it myself yesterday while watching Harmy's Star Wars 2.5 with the 2004 starwars.com audio commentary playing!

There's also this page with a lot of photos:

I think HT made it too small by a long shot...

I have never searched out a photo of the actual prop... YIKES at the forceps top right used for extracting babies

 

[cmiller99]

Kinda disappointed, accuracy problems and it looks too egg shaped. How hard could this be?

The interrogator droid, I mean

 

[Darth Lam]

Just FYI, in the youtube video Howard doesn't talk about the figures at all. They are just there as backdrops. It's a crap interview about life, his feelings, blah blah blah.

The interrogator droid looks like a babies' head that was pushed too tight through the birth canal.

And yes I'm talking from experience.

Guess a perfect circle was too tough to mold.

If this is their idea of a perfect circle then I can't wait to see R2-D2's dome.

It seemed like a fluff piece. The music was extremely grating, too.

In regards to the interrogator droid, not really seeing anything wrong with it. Still really excited that it's an accessory.

As long as they keep swinging and missing on rdj likeness after a dozen tries, we will be right as rain.

Honestly, I think it's the angle in those pics (and that they're likely also photoshopped in). It doesn't look that egg-shaped in the video:

Egg-shaped, you all say? Guess Howard's using a self-portrait as reference material again.
