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

[Asta]

For all of HT's obvious wins, I have to say the SS body suit kicks its butt.

You mean the SS ANH?

The suit on the SS ESB/ROTJ is one of the worst things about that figure.

 

[pixletwin]

Ah, in what way? The tailoring on that thing is godawful.....

Ah yeah. I meant the ANH SS one. I think the tailoring is far better. The material is better too. With the HT I would worry about it biodegrading over time and over poses.

 

[Scareb]

Has anyone ordered him from sideshow this week and had him ship already? I ordered him Saturday night thinking he might ship this week but still showing as processing.

The ANH suit was pretty good; I dunno, love the HT ANH suit - and like how they did the upper body in two parts - gives the guy a nice bulk. Concerns with the material are pretty understandable...


Well, I'm no Para...LOL. using the SSC cloak is my preference......these guys look good together

0 issues other than the bottom belt on he crotch plate breaking off and the stripped body screw.

I am in love with the cape. That has some nice weight, just sad it came be action posed well by default.

The height is great though.

 

[pixletwin]

Agreed about the height and the cape. It drapes so perfectly... and it has weight. Love it. I do also like how the body suit comes in two pieces (IIRC that is how the actual prop costume was as well).

 

[Lumos]

The material is better too. With the HT I would worry about it biodegrading over time and over poses.

What's the material? Rubber?

 

[pixletwin]

Not rubber exactly. But it seems similar to the Hasbro body suit on their ultimate vaders... or even similar to the faux leather jerkin (or whatever you'd call it*) on SS's Anakin. I could just see the material begin to flake off over time.

Got my replacement helmet today from Sideshow (already on figure)... Exercising the idea of melting this one.

 

[SilverStar17]

It would indeed be fitting.

Did everyone get the r2d2 and c3po xmas card with this?

What was wrong with that one?

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

We shall see. I know Sideshow frowns upon using fire to destroy.

What was wrong with that one?

paint spot where they didn't smooth it over, and a few scratches.

 

[Matt S]

Sell it here. I guarantee someone will take it....

I have to destroy it and send them picture proof. Always the bad thing about replacements.

My quick and dirty levitating saber pose

Ah, bummer. At least you got a replacement part. I can't even get a response from them

King.. that's what photoshop is for.. or just screen grab the Force Awakens Vader helmet and send that.. Enjoy Vader!

I've never got a replacement part from them they always want me to take a $25 gift card or send it back for a full refund.
