Hey guys! So I opened my Vader last night and was very disappointed to find that his left leg is about 1/4-1/2 shorter than his right leg so he can't standso he's going to have to go back to SSC. It's unfortunate because it really is a quality feeling figure

Are you sure it isn't the left foot peg that is bent instead of straight?

It's not defective. The longer leg simply doesn't have the foot peg fully inserted. I had the exact same issue.
I just removed the foot and then reinserted it.
Be gentle, but make sure it is pushed all the way in.
Boots are kinda fragile looking..........

Yeah I took the boots off and inspected the pegs and they were both all the way in then I looked at the legs without the boots on and saw that one leg was longer than the other unfortunately by like 1/8 inch. It's strange I've never had that issue before. And mah45 the boot pegs on like the Predator big ankle pegs with the ribbing on them. I made sure to push them both the way in so it's got to be the legs are different lengths.

Hmm I also mess around with the hips. I think they were not level either. I fiddled with things for a while when I first got him. Eventually, between removing the feet and adjusting the hips, I got the legs level.
It may just take some more adjusting. I was certainly convinced that mine was defective at first as well.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Really like that pose, KoruptData...One the best I've seen...Simple, but with an iconic tinge...

Guys, I apologize if this has been asked to death...If I want to preorder this guy, can I use rewards points on him when I do the preorder?...I thought I saw where some people did that, but I thought in the instructions on the SS site it said you couldn't...And I don't want to try using them, and then lose them...Thanks...

might be the knee joints

This might be an odd question, but what about the foot peg itself...Is one peg shorter than the other?...
Not that I've heard........as long as your points aren't pending. If they are, its 40 days from the time of the last shipped item.

Dave Prowse had a dodgy knee. Sometimes HT go to extreme lengths for accuracy.
While reading about his dodgy knee, I saw this:

Yes you can. I pre-ordered him with a whole bunch of reward points to soften the blow!
He was delivered earlier this week, I get my hands on him tomorrow!
Now, thats a mod I would love to see!
Ditto. I may try it. Maybe. We'll see.
If you do, post pics.......and good luck! How hard could it be? LOL

Thanks man. Fun to get those pose on my screen from the movie and try to mimic it the best I can. He leans his upper body to his right, kinda like concentrating on the hand doing the choking while he walks closer. The only thing I changed up was his left arm and hand were mostly covered but I wanted to see his saber hanging from the belt.
