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

[SithThundercracker]

It's funny cause he's fat.

Yeah he is, but when I see him I also think that he can lose some (lot actually) weight and be a decent Vader, I cannot grow from my 180cm so I will always look a bit like Dark Helmet.

Same here, ALWAYS wanted to be in the Vader armour but at 5'5" I'd make the armour look like this....

So, if you can't do the character/armour any justice by squeezing into it or wearing stilts (like I'd have to) then perhaps you might consider cosplaying another character that's more, dare I say 'fitting?' For example - I'd have to be Antman with MY stature. [emoji5] [emoji2]

I hate cosplay in general, its always being done by people who look nothing like who they're portraying. Asians always trying to cosplay american characters in particular i find annoying.

Irony alert

I think a bunch of people are misunderstanding what cosplay can be about. It's a passion for a particular character(s) and a way to celebrate it. So, women shouldn't dress up as Doctor Who, Hellboy, etc. because they're women and don't look the part according to source material? Rubbish.
If you're a size 10 and want to dress as Harley Quinn....Awesome. You go ahead. Plenty of Men have dressed up as Slave Leia...sure, for a bit of humorous fun, but nobody should tell them they shouldn't because they don't look the part. I've been to a bunch of conventions and enjoy the range of cosplay every time. Just like any form of art...you don't have to like it, but you can (at the least) try and respect what someone tried to do and the courage that it sometimes take to do it.
Action Figures...Yea!!!!!! Woopie!

Cosplay is about the sheer fun of being a character, I don't see any problem with it. I don't do it, but others enjoy it so I'm not going to be a fun Nazi.

"Yousa point is - well said!" Sorry for quoting Jar Jar there, but I now stand corrected. I was confusing 501st standards-style screen accuracy with the sheer fun that is cosplay. A brilliant set of photos guys!

There's a dome in these photographs?

Chest box looks accurate though.

Sow the dome and you are banned.

Too Much Garlic, did you ever cast your marmit prototype to have a personal finished version? If so, it would be awesome to see how it looks compares to the accurate helmet you created.

Wow. I had no idea Marmit were planning so many figures. It's such a shame their ANH Vader never went into production.
Thank you for posting this, Too Much Garlic. Their other planned figures look great as well...

Are there any further toy fairs or the like before this HT ANH figure is released?
I think it'll be a case of catching this bus or spend a long time waiting.

There is nothing... NO---THING... sexy about a woman with the Vader helmet. I don't care what she looks like.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

 

[mattinglymint23]

The helmet seems off in this one. Can't tell if it's the flare or the dome height. Hope hot toys gets this right before release.
