Re: Hot Toys Darth Vader Sixth Scale Figure
Sure you lowered the dome but what are you going to do about those sunken jowels?
Persistence is key. I posted the same **** day after day after day about the QS Batman before it came out, by the time it came out, it was like a totally different (and ridiculously amazing) figure compared to the prototype. Was it because of everyone who posted? Probably not, but I like to think we helped a little bit.

If you preordered DX05 you wouldn't be so optimistic

Helmet if totally OOF. Dome is too small, too thin on the edges, sits too high. Why don't they buy the Efx one, scan it, reduce it to 1/6 and that's it. Like they have no money!

Re: Hot Toys Darth Vader Sixth Scale Figure
Here's how it is for me these days. It's no piece of gold info, but of course - both HT & SSC are capable of nice work as well as average work. I've acknowledged that before, nothing new. The hype is what makes things skewed, & we're all guilty of it.
The problem is, while SSC have shown that their Luke & Han sculpts can be potentially GREAT, the follow up is kahkah - & packing their sets full of fiddly extra trinkets doesn't change that.
I'll buy the figures that I want - that kick *** - that's it.

You're probably right. You should really get them looked at.

Re: Hot Toys Darth Vader Sixth Scale Figure
I'm a bit underwhelmed by these Vader shots, he just doesn't scream ANH to me. Of course, after some proper posing and futzing, his look can change completely, so this is just based on these very early shots.
I feel he looks too "heroic", if that makes sense. Like he's based on a comic book appearance, where proportions are idealized. Knowing Hot Toys though, I think the actual product will be better, as many here have said.
Since I'm more into the ESB/ROTJ look, the ANH Vader would have to be near perfect for me to get it, and I'm not seeing it so far. Either way, I'm most likely still getting parts from this to upgrade my ROTJ Vader.

Re: Hot Toys Darth Vader Sixth Scale Figure
Even the face mask looks too narrow. The whole thing doesn't say ANH Vader to me....
Both these are parts buys for sure. The tunic and robes for Obi are awesome, and I'm very happy my Ski Obi sculpt.
Hm, better, but the more I look at it the more I dont like it.

Curious what the Vader experts will say. Right now not 100% impressed.
As for Obi, the SSC looks more like Guiness than HT.

There are things I really like, even love, on both of them, but tbh neither one blows me away.

Re: Hot Toys Darth Vader Sixth Scale Figure
Not liking how Vader has turned out at all, I just see a toy with an ill fitting outfit. No way I'd spend good money on this..., shame though as Vader is my favourite & I'm always surprised when there's a new version but I'm not tempted to buy it.

Re: Hot Toys Darth Vader Sixth Scale Figure
Oh wonderful were the days that everyone thought that a HT Vader would be the second coming of Christ.
And Charlton Heston never played Obi Wan
