Really like your Han pose. Can we see Moore?

Thanks. More of what?

I did not notice any ankle issues with mine, but I have him standing in a pretty static pose....

Arrived today, can't open until Friday morning. Soooo excited to get this guy setup with the troopers before the family arrives that day.

Congrats! Vader is impressive. Most impressive...

The cape on this guy is absolutely amazing; a perfect weight to do what it needs to do!

Thanks! One of the figures I've wanted since the day I started collecting. Can't believe he's finally here.

 

[Matt S]

I feel the same way....seeing all the folks getting this early from HK made it a hard, long wait......

Quick shot of everyone on top of my Cintiq. This whole series is just amazing.

Wonderful shot. Soooo jealous! (Although, by the end of January, I'll have caught up with your gang...)

Mine arrived today(I love FedEx;you tell them when you'll be home,and that's when they show up).Was going to wait 'til Friday to open him,but my wife pointed out that I wasn't really impressing anyone(I think she wanted to see him).Found him moderately challenging to power up,even with the tweezers(can you beat that?).Voice function and remote work great;he even says my favorite line(I find your lack of faith disturbing).My only complaint is that the belt doesn't stay fastened too well;I'm thinking a bit of velcro in the correct location will resolve this.Thinking I might take some shots comparing the HT with my Modded Sideshow,though the material quality is amazing;the cape is almost as heavy as my 1/1 version.HT does it again...PS

I just saw an ebay seller selling the hot toys darth vader nude body for 189.00 with out the batters. just nothing

I took the boots off and reached in them and started working the ankle peg. They are incredibly stiff but I was able to get some ankle pivot. It might be something that can be worked at and loosed up. Be careful though.

In the meantime, I hope SS can get me a new belt. Looks really dumb to display him without one.

Are they the barbell joints like the batman Arkham city? Or a hinged swivel joint like typical wrist pegs?

I'm not really sure because it's way down in the boot. I'd look again, but mine is packed back up while I wait to hear from Sideshow about what they plan to do about a damaged part.

What happened to your Vader belt?

This...

It was holding on by a thread right out of the box and it just gave way when I tried to undo it per instructions in order to put batteries in Vader.

 

[Tinman2000]

Ouch! At these prices I think HT needs to do better at QC and design overall; if your expected to disrobe a figure to install batteries the materials need to hold up to that. Personally, I don't have a need to hear the voice mechanism or have a lit lightsaber; even so, they could do better at material selection and design. I hope HT learned from this release, a built in voice mechanism is overkill.

I agree. a square cutout with just a thin amount of material around the border meant to fit over (and under) a plastic square under the buckle is a poor design choice. A metal or plastic clasp or even velcro would have worked better and be more durable when you are expected to be able to undo and redo the belt in order to access the figure's features.

 

[Matt S]

Agreed with the belt. Moment I saw it was a clasp type deal, it made me nervous. Velcro would have been better.......and the removable boxes kinda bugs me....

 

[chobits55]

Got no ankle issues as well. But I can't do ankle pivot and don't remember if he has one.

Tried doing the battery but then saw how hard it was to reach so nope. The hands aren't that bad imo. Wire on inner robe is too long. Will remove that eventually. Articulation is good.
