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

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.

Except those are the ESB gloves, which have nothing to do with the AHN gloves.

Those are the ROTJ ones, right? I have to say the SS ANH ones look a little cheap to me. Don't think I'd swap them out even if it was possible.

Maybe that's the problem? The chest box looks small because the chest armor is too small. It should come down lower almost to the bottom of his chest, not resting near the top of chest. Once there's comparison pics with Sideshow ANH version it'll be able to tell which piece is actually wrong.

You are right man! The chest box is a little small for sure but the real wrong piece is the chest armour (it looks as the sideshow one). It's too short and a bit folded out as the esb one! ANH one is more flat (or a bit folded inwards) and more huge! I'm working on this for years!

Uh oh, skinny arm?

[Remy]

Damn!!! Looks freaking amazing.

 

[Mr.Tanker]

The chest plate needs to be pulled down a bit, but otherwise this guy is beautiful.

 

[Sturtrup]

Great pictures here. There is something that give me the sensation that this is a young vader! His facemask, his wide shoulders! I don't know why, but I have this impression.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Normally something like that wouldn't bother me BUT; his chest box is ridiculously undersized.

 

[QuiGonFishing]

Seriously..? ANOTHER figure I have to buy? Come on Hot Toys, take your heel off my throat...

Sure? Or is the gap between chest armour and belt that is ridicolousy oversized? I'd love to see that chest box on my vader!

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

Rory, stealthv3teran, paramour...?

We're all getting him on the same day and having a Vader unboxing party

The next wave of in-hand photos will begin next week then.



Means Vader will hit Sideshow in about 4 weeks -- or Dec 5th -- which mean shipping the following week -- which means BBTS will have it maybe in time for X-mas. Maybe.

And none of us are gonna post any pics..

 

[paramoremcr88]

I might post some of the cups.

 

[WWEJedi]

How much extra do you guys pay to get them early? Or do you actually get them at retail?

Yep, that'll be it!
