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

From inside his box, Obi-Wan must have calmly told customs, "This is not the package you are looking for."

Sorry but I've to say that the ss anh chest armour is totally not screen acurate. The shape is wrong, the colours are wrong. It's heavy toysh. But, if you are happy with that, it's a great chest armour!

I have the kaiyodo chest piece that hurricane made for me it leaves to much a gap between the neck and the helmet just did not know if it looked good

They replaced my belt (I did not have to send the figure back they just sent me a new belt), but someone else on here said they would not replace their belt. I'm not sure what the difference was in the way the belt was broken. I did report mine broken the same day I received it, if that makes a difference.

Thanks, Jaymas. I appreciate the reply very much!

Here's what paramoremcr88: did with his - mines posed exactly the same but with his right arm - credit and thanks to paramore for the inspiration.

I think you have done a good job. But something look weird. I think that your work to improve his anh look has highlighted the not anh overall look. So, IMO, is all the rest, and not your painted chest box that is mismatched.

Hmm...anything else I could fix? I think it's the face sculpt that's mostly off and not very ANH vader

FUUU---I missed Vader parted out at TA again!

Yeah, same here. Two days ago at that. And I've been checking daily. Vader parts seem to be hot at the moment, belts in particular.

I figure once everyone stops breaking their belts and realizes that yes, they are that delicate, people will just let them be and replacement belts will be a little easier to come by.

You could try to give him a screen accurate pose using a screen shot as reference and futzing every minor detail. But I think that you are right. More I look at the picture in this thread, more I'm convinced that Ht vader is a great figure (excluding sound and light feature) with a stunning overall look, but that it's non anh accurate. Something is wrong in his mask and in the body proportion. I can't imagine Daw Prowse under that suite.

sorry man but your response hurt my head in trying to figure out its meaning.

Here he is, but it's a REALLY bad picture taken on the crummy camera on my phone - I'll post better pics when there's better light (sunlight) I should really get an iPhone and bin this crap HTC One asap!

i agree. i remember someone posting a comparison pic of all the heads . i think the hot toys dome on the sideshow anh face would be perfect! im too afraid to peel the ht dome off. the ht face and neck are too narrow.

my english?
I'm saying that IMO ht vader is not anh accurate even if it's a great figure. And... aarg it's not so easy to explain in english for me.

I used Merlin 'invisible' thread - dark smoke (for dark background's) or they also do invisible thread in clear.

I want the head so I can do a quickie upgrade to my ANH Sideshow Vader! I'm passing on this one and holding out for the HT ESB Vader.

 

[pixletwin]

ESB helm would be totally wrong for an ANH Vader.

Oh well, maybe HT will get it right with the next version

and u attach it the ceiling of your display case? what would you attach it with so you cannot see it?

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Ok, first attempt and it turned out fairly decent. I overdid it on the weathering a bit haha. I'm going to try and hit it with a little gloss to bring back some shine and see how it looks. At least I have my original in case it looks bad

Not overdone. At all! It's actually pretty damn accurate. And don't spray gloss on it. That would be inaccurate.


EDIT: Oh... I see you gloss coated it anyway... bummer.

Nah, I only gave it a very subtle gloss and more like a satin. I didn't esb vader it
