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

[Sturtrup]

Did it last week.

I don't see Darth Vader in this picture! Ther's something off. At my eyes they are two guys with vader costume for alloween or for a vader costume contest! And they are not the winner! I'm fool...I know this!

Is it Kylo that has a small head or does Vader have an oversized head?

I'm gonna pass on this because I bet my left nut that they release a 2.0

I have decided to pass on this too, keeping my SSC version for now. I'm waiting to see what they can do with 1/4 scale or announce ESB 6th scale later on.

 

[Invictus Sol]

An ESB version is a given but good luck with an ANH 2.0. I don't see any reason for them to ever revisit this iteration. Star Wars has an endless supply of characters that'll sell better than ANH Vader V2. Even if we were to see one in 5 years time, I'd still rather this figure on the shelf in the interim. $300 in that perspective is nothing.

Got mY shipping notification! Monday!

 

[Sentry83]

Mine was shipped today. I'm glad Im just sticking to ANH(+ Fett and Yoda if made) because HT Star Wars can do some serious damage to one's finances.

Same here, Just getting this vader and fett. I had an opportunity to get the Han/Chewie set at retail, but passed. I figured if I got them, I'd have to get Luke, Leia, Obi-Wan, R2 and C3PO. I can't handle that lol.

Wednesday for me, with ANH Luke.

 

[maru81]

Yea, if anyone wants ANH Vader this is the definite version out there right now.

They're both appropriate to their sizes. It's just Vader's dome piece that makes the helmet huge.

The top of Kylo's head just looks a tad on the flat side.

Here's a more level angle of the shot that I took. I don't think it looks flat at all.

I guess it's just the angle then.

well said; exactly my thoughts!

Anyone else noticed that only one of the mouth piece 'stubs' is painted silver?

That's film-accurate. Mine out for early delivery today! Wasn't supposed to arrive until tomorrow!

Just my eyes?

Just my eyes?

No, not just you. There are some ANH shots where both "tusks" appear to be silver, but in many shots only one is silver (or silver enough to catch lighting). Even in the shot you posted, the right tusk is mottled a bit.

My point is mostly that its not silver by design. You could probably change that with a silver sharpie.

just got Vader - he looks great, but having to remove clothes to test sound. How does the belt come off? I feel like I am going to break or tear something.
