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

[TaliBane]

You (and others like you that aren't suitably impressed) can just move on and stop bitching about it post after post. Gets boring.

I wasn't angrily dumping on anyone.

^^ That's your normal tone?

Let's be clear - that's the comment that started this. Your conduct... before you segued into a discussion of rules of conduct.

Maybe just acknowledge "angrily" and "dumping" and call it a day.


And it appears Trevor Grove left due to nastiness surrounding recasts of his work, not criticism; constructive or otherwise.

Yes, I believe that was the case. I don't know anyone who'd hate on his work

 

[Glennfett]

Is it ANH Vader they are teasing with that pic though?
Imagine getting ALL the ANH figures out before year's end!
Could be a ROTS tease...

 

[CollectorGuy]

But the ROTS is a 1/4 scale figure, i can't imagine thats being released 1st, that would be weird with all the OT figures coming out right now.

ROTS hasn't gone up for PO yet though so it could just be that? Can't tell if it's the ROTS suit though. Inside the helmet looks like Hayden, but obviously there's screen shots from ANH too.

1/6 Vader is due in September from Sideshow, though, so if we see pics soon it just means he'll be on time. The bigger mystery is Chewie and whether he's getting delayed again.

Nope, might've been a bit frank but if you thought it was so inappropriate you should've just reported it instead of ranting at me for two days. I stand by the post no problem and another poster even said maybe his own criticism might've been overboard. If you can't accept it then that's on you and honestly I don't care. Just sick of you derailing the thread with your grievance at this point.

Nice!
Is that available in better resolution?

 

[Blaster Rex]

Looks good to me (even with 'that' dome) Roll on September!

^Looks like Dark Helmet in that 5 month old promo photo.

What ever happened to the LIGHT-UP SABERS for Vader, Ben and Luke?

If this is really close to shipping, don't you think they'd show the saber by now.

 

[JAL4U2C]

I wouldn't be surprised if the sabers end up being similar in design to Kotobukiya's light-up lightsaber chopsticks.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Luckily I've got a spare CCFL Vader sabre that I had made for my SSC Deluxe Vader (then just sold him at a bit of a loss to compensate the buyer not getting a 'lit' sabre). Pretty sure HT's will rely on an LED, similar to what they did with Whiplash MK II's whips, so stock I don't expect it to be very convincing

 

[DiFabio]

Why are you guys assuming it's going to hit soon from that Plastic Enemies photo? Sometimes they just post random stuff, other times, they're onto something.

Couldn't it mean the 1/4 Revenge of the Sith Darth Vader? That would make more sense.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Could be either, I guess (or just a random posting), but I'd assume the 1:6, since estimated arrival for SSC was listed for Sept. If it debuted in HK this month or early next, it'd be right on time for shipping from SSC in Sept. Granted that would be a total fluke since SSC's estimated shipping times are a guesstimate themselves, but that's my reasoning. Not in any kind of rush, either way, though.

Was hoping some additional OT figures would have been revealed last week. I'd really like to see HT Lando (with change-o smiling portrait), Yoda, Emperor, Royal Guard, Tarkin, RotJ Luke and Slave Leia. Then they can start hitting us with Ep VII.

 

[Tee-Kay]

With at leat a dozen TFA figures to come, i'm not sure too many more OT/PT previews would be a good news. Otherwise, i'm seeing a lot of delays and frustration from collectors.

It's very simple. You post "stop bitching" and "if you don't like it get out" and "move on" and "I feel sorry for you" and "really sick of this belly-aching" (as you did) when people post anything negative about something you like - as if you're some kind of opinion police - and prepare to get sick of a boring discussion about it. Every time I see you do it. Okay?

You're the one who derails threads with your occasional "rants" - yes, that's what they are - and you didn't like that I called you on it. And yeah, the other poster had the decorum to apologize when his comments went too far. Maybe mull that for next time the Evictus Sol opinion police rears its ugly head.

I know i'm a newbie mostly, but relax guys. We're all collectors and want the best possible Vader we can get. And it can get frustrating when a company fails to reach expectations. Don't take each other's head off over it. I'm sure HT will do an ESB and RotJ Vader down the line too. We'll get a good Vader eventually! So be happy!!!

 

[bbl]

Let's just stop this guys. Let's agree that vader needs work for that price



Best,

Robert
