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

[jedijim3002]

There have been some pics in this thread but you pretty much answered your own question.

Do you guys know when this Vader hits SideShow?

Vader was released in HK on Nov. 7. Ordinarily, I would say expect Sideshow to get its first shipment two months after that but some Star Wars figures such as the Sandtrooper appear to be arriving more quickly.

It's Vader, TFA and Xmas is next month, you can toss that reg set up shipping logic aside. We know Vader is going to release from SSC around or before Dec 18.

I guarantee it

I just ordered with $199.60 in reward points. Total cost shipped $110.39. Woo hoo!

^^^ as long as you face SS Leia that way you won't need to upgrade to Hot Toys

Great pics Matrix69! The gloves still bother me a little, but looks really good otherwise. LOVE the helmet.

 

[matrix69]

Yeah the gloves are a bit of a let down,the fist and grip pairs work best visually. The others not so great. HT should have went the extra mile and made full sets of gloves all pegged and ready to go,something SS do well. I tried a pair of the old SS ANH vader gloves,they don't look too bad if a little tight fitting.View attachment 225836

Wow! That looks pretty darn good. Are they on pretty securely? I think that might be the way to go except when holding the lit up saber.

 

[matrix69]

They're secure but only just. What i'm thinking of doing is to cut the hand/figure parts out and permanently glue the HT sleeves to them.

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, the glove sleeve thing they went with is really weird.

Gotta save something to correct for 2.0.

For those interested here's a height comparison with the SS deluxe and supes..View attachment 225849View attachment 225848View attachment 225847

Thanks Matrix! LOVE that MOS figure. One of HT's very best, IMHO. I'm sure no one would guess I like that figure... I actually love that he's so towering over other HT figures of the same scale.

What are the top Vaders left to right? They all look pretty great.

Thanks Matrix for those comparison pics!

What did you do to the chest box on the SS Deluxe Vader on the far left? Paint the ANH box? Buttons are backwards.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Nice pics, matrix. Well, I'll be damned, there's a figure taller than MOS Supes.

 

[Creighton]

The irony of those photos is that I just sold my MOS Superman this week to fund HT Vader. Times are tight.

matrix could you ID each of the three DVs? Thanks
