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

WOW!!!!!!

HT did an amazing job on that face! And I'm stoked to see that its a removable helmet as well!

The sad thing is that the Prowse head SHOULD have been included or at least the exclusive.

Jeez, that one definitely passes the "man in a suit test"!

Yeah, he burned the bridge with Lucasfilm though, so I'm guessing that can never happen.

I just heard that HT have shipped the last of them over to Sideshow's factory for paint application...

(Leaked sample, but should look better in hand).

 

[Protozaius]

What updates are we waiting for?

 

[URDNOTSullivan]

Hot Toys just posted this Vader video,

 

[Bmacattack]

Holy crap!!!

 

[Protozaius]

His chest plate looks too small.

His helmet looks awesome though....

 

[TonTon]

The dialogue made me grimace a bit, but the figure looks pretty good from most angles shown in the video, except maybe straight ahead a couple times.

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

Yay for the dialogue. Nice surprise.

 

[Bmacattack]

Its not perfect, but I think its safe to say that is the closest we've gotten to an accurate vader helmet. That dome blows all the others away. The armor could look better but I think some futzing will do wonders.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Wow, looks fantastic. Looks like they put a lot of effort into it. Can't wait for it to ship.

 

[Getter Dragon]

Why? It's direct audio from the movie or do you dislike the cheesy gimmick?

Just gave me a toy vibe, that's all. I mean, I don't think I'd want to have my Han Solo figure talk either, but it's not a big deal. They added the sound effects for the breathing so why not make more use of the electronics they implemented.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Really does look nice... some nice weathering on the mask cheeks. I hope the voice comes out of the figure and not the stand. The remote makes things much easier.

I think I'll use the breathing the most.

 

[Bmacattack]

The bridge of the nose looks great, finally. I never understood why Sideshow and even Kaiyodo couldn't get that right. My excitement for this release has risen so much.

 

[Wor-Gar]

But yes, chest box still too small. Hope I don't have to use my Sideshow one.

 

[Asta]

Hmmm...

Still got those terrible gloves...

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

Undersized chest box, that's interesting.
