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

[Lejuan]

I've tried that, but this one wont catch for some reason. Its not the end of the world or anything, just slightly frustrating after putting the figure together for a hour or so.

I used to collect military figures. One hour would be considered pretty good going to fully kit out a figure, and require a range of tweezers, pointy things and magnifying glass

I haven't even tried mine yet, just looking at the instructions looks like too much work. I just installed the batteries for the lightsaber arm, not really that interested in the voice function.

Yep, seems kinda risky, too, with all we're hearing about belt bteakage and so on. I usually like to at least test electronics but the voice feature on these figures do nothing for me. Haven't bothered with the comparitively easy RoboCop, so there's no chance on this.

I could be wrong in thinking that they don't, but I would have preferred the lights on his life support system light up and blink in lieu of the voice effect.

Vader didn't get working chest lights until ESB, so it's accurate to the movie.

I couldn't figure out how to put all the tools into the droid so I tried to google it since the Hot Toys directions were useless. I found this:

And promptly spent another 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get it to light up

Man, I would gladly trade my voice features for the light up droid!

Sorry if this is a dumb question. I just got my Vader today and I noticed two "dimple"-like indentations above his cheeks. One on each side. At first I thought "oh ****", but once I noticed each side had them in the exact same spots, I kinda figured it's supposed to be that way. I haven't noticed them in pics, but I'm thinking they would be difficult to pick up in a photo. They supposed to be there?

 

[Invictus Sol]

Indeed they are, Zen.

That IS wicked cool.

^ Only now...at the end...do you see.

Vader Burlesque... nightly, at the First Order Tavern.

The one in the middle seems so short and stubby.

Yes. I remember spending 4-5 hours kitting up figures. Tweezers, needles, small scissors, bic lighters and super glue were all part of my tool box.

That's where the doggone voice feature money+ (b/c you know it would've been more) should've gone. Beautiful.

Finally got a chance to do some quick pics.

IMPRESSIVE! Most Impressive!
I see you tucked the inner tunic under the Shoulder armour. Was thinking of doing the same thing. Was it difficult to do?

I'm also interested if this was easy. I want to do that as well.

 

[Creighton]

Its easier than two shakes of a lambs tail

 

[Wor-Gar]

But its so wrong. You cannot do this.... no, no, no, no.....

 

[Zenjay]

Indeed they are, Zen.

Thanks for the confirmation, Invictus.

 

[QuiGonFishing]

NO......!

 

[Invictus Sol]

But its so wrong. You cannot do this.... no, no, no, no.....

Agreed. Even as a casual Vader fan, there are so many differences between this version and ESB that I couldn't live with it on display like that.

Im surprised Wor didnt make a gif out of the last two pics..Theres totally an opportunity for a "Vader dance."
