Whoever at HT thought that it would be a good idea to have a wired tunic was WRONG.

This x1000 drives me mad lol

Futzing problems...?

It wouldn't be HT if it didn't come with a little frustration.

They must be fired and the tunic must be burnt immediately!

It's just so annoying! Grrrrrrr

I have no idea how it being wired is a benefit.

Just remove the wire surely?

That's probably what I should have done whilst he was naked but now that I've dressed him and been futzing for an hour, I just can't face doing that!

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Hahaha fair play Jay!

I'll probably remove mine when he's naked Vader then.

Paramoremcr88, Hot Toys should be paying you to take and post these - you make it look sooooooooooo good.

I'm going to do my best to resist though and wait for Hot Toys ESB or ROTJ Vader.

Great pics, Para! Did you follow Stealth's recipe for the cod piece?

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Great work on the futzing, Stealth and Para!

How does the suit feel? Since my medicom vader fell apart due to cracks and flaking i wonder how this feels?



Best,

Robert

Was thinking about this too. How is SS pleather?

This is the HT John Connor. Have heard the pleather on SSC Anakin deteriorated.

Ok guys had some time with him as i got home from work early....IMO this is the best Vader we have gotten in 1/6 from a company standpoint . I have futzed him after stripping him down to redress as i always do. The cod piece attaches via velcro aswell as a strap going around and under the crotch. In order to move it up i undid it all, folding the section which goes under the crotch back in on its self and fed it up the vest out the way, allowing it to be moved up then moved the belt itself up.

My only complaint is the inner robe is wired at the ends, this drives me insane and i really don't get their fascination with wires. The dome is a lovely matte colour in hand and the gloves while not the best are not as bad as initially thought. I have also fitted the custom cape i was using on my sideshow.

Here are some shots with the troopers and him solo.

There he is - clean and simple! Even without all the pro lighting and photoshop backgrounds, your pics are my favorite so far.

He is about 13 1/2'' maybe 14

From what I can tell, the proper Vader height in 1/6 is supposed to be a little over 13", up to 13 1/4". The height on this guy seemed to start out very tall, but the Anicon show he seemed much shorter next to the stormies, but it's interesting how he seems to have showed up in-hand in the same height range as the SSC DX. I guess better too tall than too short.

Paramore's pictures SUCK..!*

*Tired of all of these damned reputation points I'm getting....

This should do it, don't you think..?

 

[Aliaz]

[SithThundercracker]

Soooooo gooood Para!

Now see this is the proper amount of time for a review.

I'm glad you didn't throw the fookin' thing out the window 4 times. Thanks for the review -- great to see all the batteries to understand what's ahead.
