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

[CollectorGuy]

Well seeing these photos the figure does look better but those gloves major suck. I cant figure out the purpose behind it.

 

[ebor]

Many many pictures here need the belt hiked up, I realize a simple thing but...DO IT

 

[Wor-Gar]

Not sure it can. There looks to be a connector between Vader's crotch attached to that cod piece. If you can't raise the cod piece, then raising the belt will look silly.

I'd like to see someone hunch Vader forward like he stands rather than all these 'sticking-out-the-stomach' poses. He never stood that way.

 

[ebor]

Beer gut Vader...great. Oh well bye-bye RPs, I am weak and must have this.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It will be the definitive Vader once someone poses him correctly and glues down the gloves on the knuckles.

 

[Creighton]

Just push the hands up flush when posing..no need to glue.

 

[Wor-Gar]

So the hands pop out but the "glove" remains? That's a lame way to save a little money.

I think the hands are like the Amazing Spider-Man 2 figure. Looks bad close up because there will always be a gap between the fingers and knuckles but not a big deal when on display.

Hong Kong collector with in hand photos he took of his vader, enjoy!View attachment 221847View attachment 221848View attachment 221849View attachment 221850

Not feeling it with these pics, the guys camera is angled wrong, perspective of the legs look too short . Vader looks like a midget

Just ordered him from HK. Beyond tired of waiting for this guy, lol. Need. Him. Now.

The circle is almost complete! Just Luke and Leia left. The twins.

The droid is not screen accurate. It doesn't say "British Made" on the needle. Cancelled.

I wonder how much it cost to import one of those suckers.

Do you mind if I ask where did you order from?

I always thought that part in the film was strange, here you have all this space age technology with the lasers and sabers, and yet they use a floating droid with an ordinary syringe attached to mess with Leia

The Interrogator was made of two R2 domes (you can even see all the R2 openings on the prop) so it should be quite a bit bigger to be screen accurate.

Yeah, I got a bit a chill looking at those pics - the way it was photographed, the helmet was starting to look like the proto again.


This pic shows a couple of things - that the bodysuit has a double stitched area on the abdomen (not sure why, but if properly futzed, it shouldn't be visible) and also that the inner cape/skirt is double fabric with a seam, making it pretty thick...

What I said two days ago and it started a flame war

Close up of helmet - definitely blows away anything that has come before...

 

[Mandible]

You might have to do a bit of surgery and switch out the forearms first, but I think it would be well worth it in the end.

Just order some gloves from Toy Anxiety. ROTJ SSC, but anything would look better than these abominations

Yeah, but it just sounded better coming from me though.



I missed the whole damn war too - was a little bummed about that.
