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

[Aliaz]

The wait for this will be painful, can't see this getting released in europe before Christmas...

I don't think the negatives outweigh the positives, though your positives happen to be pretty far down on my list. Mine goes:

Helmet
Helmet
Helmet
Helmet

Mine too.

I think it looks fantastic overall.

So of the guys on the outer rim, who's getting this first?

Rory, stealthv3teran, paramour...?

Unfortunate design. But if that's the worst of it, so be it. If the glove is sewn to the sleeve, then such much for swapping out to the SS gloves.

Sounds possible it's related to the saber design, though it seems like it could have been done with fully gloves hands as easily.

Maybe it was done on purpose so people couldn't just pick up the Sideshow gloves and chestbox and have themselves a ROTJ Vader. We already saw a couple of the blogger photos where the chest armor is fully exposed and it didn't look bad.

Mine too.

You know, the usual cheerleaders. Get it together Wor!

Why does it seem like in some pics his right helmet tusk is black like it should be for ANH, but in others it looks to be silver (like shown above)? How cool would it be if it came with the black exposed and a little piece to slide over for those that want it silver so both match??

Are the lenses a dark red? Can't tell (still)

Yes, J.C. Hong posted some paint test pictures on Facebook and I just asked him about the color of the eyes and he confirmed that the eyes are dark red. Take a look here:

Well well well... it's certainly looking a lot better now.
I think whoever is posing and futzing this figure has no idea what Vader is supposed to look like, hence the low riding belt and codpiece. The hands/gloves are a disgrace, but other than that, it looks pretty fantastic.

 

[TheFiend]

This figure does not look good in certain lighting that's for sure. And like other Vader figures he needs some pro - futzing and posing to look good. I still think I like the old SSC ANH and Hurricane suits the best. Those gloves...... [emoji38] Is he pretty great figure? Sure. Hot Toys usually brings the quality. Is it accurate? Eeehhh...

 

[Mike86]

Looks good overall. I do think the chest box should sit a bit lower or maybe be a tad bigger but it's not a deal breaker. Still overall a great looking figure.

 

[TonTon]

Looking forward to seeing a ruler side by side with this Vader.

is final product the correct one, or the more movie accurate one?

JC Hong just said they are on a Facebook comment, but i haven't seen a picture where it's noticeable.

I think this looks great glad i preordered

 

[WWEJedi]

So... can anyone confirm if the gloves are stitched to the forearm?

 

[Creighton]

I see now why the gloves are the way they are -- they are part of the sleeve for swapping hands and open enough to allow that large forearm to be swapped.

Unfortunate design. But if that's the worst of it, so be it. If the glove is sewn to the sleeve, then such much for swapping out to the SS gloves.




Good height check here...

Sans the stitching, the SS gloves are the same design in a sense. That have that samurai flap looking thingy that goes over the top of the hand. Only real difference is HT is atriculated.

Can't wait to see some reviews of this guy.
