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

Is this guy worth getting? It seems like there are many problems with it and it is more expensive than the rest of the figures. Mainly due to electronics that I would never use. I'm tempted to wait until they come out with an ESB version but that probably won't be for a long time.

I keep going back and forth on this. I want to wait for an ESB/ROTJ version but who knows when that'll be.

Some pictures I see convinces me I can pass on this, and others I see makes me want to order.

I'd wait if you want an ESB one. And if you're worried that this one will sell out, I bet there will be another version of this ANH figure with Rogue One hitting the theaters.

If you like the ESB/RotJ look better, I'd wait for that. It may not happen this year, but I'm almost all but certain that it will happen.

Yeah, I have no doubt it'll happen. I just wish I knew how far into the future. I would imagine they're finally done with ANH by now, and they still have several TFA characters to reveal I bet. Things have been pretty quiet after the Rey update.

 

[SilverStar17]

Yeah, I imagine they're pretty much done with ANH and most of TFA. They're likely going to start focusing on CW and BvS now, with perhaps some other figures sprinkled in here and there along the way. I imagine they'll pick SW back up again in full force this December.

I say most of TFA because I'm almost certain they're going to make a TFA Han and Chewie at some point and perhaps another version of Kylo.

Sorry, I thought I was in the R5-D4 thread.


There was one droid attachment socket that was hard to find at first.

 

[MarcofromItaly]

So confirm there isn't light on interrogation droid? The central transparent plastic part suggest me it can be in..

No, it doesn't light up.

The transparent post is just to help with the illusion of floating.

Guys, serious question, I just preordered this from Sideshow. Has this shipped from Sideshow yet or is this a second batch I'm pre-ordering?

 

[Bmacattack]

Second batch. Ordered mine two weeks ago. I'm thinking about emailing them.

Got it thanks, hopefully we get these?

We'd better! Lol. They took my $30 deposit and $40 in rewards points.

Literally came in stock at BBTS the day after I ordered from SS. I wish I had waited and used the rewards for Kylo. Gah!

[Matt S]

Looks good.......

 

[Vader AL]

Same here used rewards points for Kylo and jakku trooper which shipped after a couple of days and the rest of my points i used on vader and wish i hadn't after i noticed BBTS has him. I'd cancel and order from BBTS but then I'd lose those points i used towards Vader.
