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

[Aliaz]

I'm very impressed by the mods you guys have done!

I'll only do the codpiece mod and try moving the belt boxes since that is all I trist myself to pull off.

@JazzInc: you should do the metallic paper on the back of the Stormtroopers lenses too. They have beautiful green lenses.

Lowered dome
Eye mod
Top of the eye lids paint black
Nose plug
Weathered chest and belt
Gloves mod
Rivets on straps to chest
Move saber

Thanks for that. Not doing the torso mod -- cutting away sides so arms can hang straight down? That seems like a good one too.

Yes I did bbl with black acrylic matt.
It looks definitely better in my opinion.

Or sorry Wor-Gar I've already done it I forgot to put it on the list

What's wrong with the nose? I see a lot of people modding it, but no idea what's different on it

God damn it I was so happy over a month ago to see no Vader mods and think that finally I could have a vader without having to mod the hell out of it. Now I see all these mods, of course I'm going to have to do them now too

That's exactly how I feel.

I don't think I'll go so far as the nose mod, but I'm wanting to do the torso mod, helmet mod, eye mod and fix the damn hands (already did the chest armor long ago in my first round futzing).

Some of these things were just no-brainers HT should have seen - those awful hands/gloves and the wrongly painted chest armor are so obvious.

 

[SilverStar17]

Damn, a lot of these mods make the figure look so good. Too bad I just don't have the balls to do them.

I'll just pretend mine's a fairly accurate version of Marvel's Vader lol

 

[Raymond F.]

Yup haha well my plans are the following

Eye lense mod
Lowering dome (always thought it was a bit high over the eyebrows)
Painting eyelids black
The nose thing
Painting the gloves
Weathering the belt
Painting the chest armor
Doing the arms mod

I also did the COD peice and chest box adjustment rigjt or of the box

I'm also still much prefering my lforigino stuff over the stock stuff.

The rest won't be noticeable to me

Jazz and co, kinda want to toast them and curse them at the same time.

It looks spectacular, though the "striped top lighting" effect sells screen Vader almost as much as the mods.

You'll have to buy SS's deluxe Vader for that. The artist used that as a model for the whole series it seems. Missed opportunity to explain the suit change as he shows up with his ESB/ROTJ appearance.

Awesome work, McHaley!

 

[McHaleyArt]

Here's a couple of pics that show how the chrome sticker paper or reflective tape bounces the light through the lenses.

Ok received mine yesterday and he is awesome, but have any of you experienced problems with the sound? It works for the first five minutes and the nothing, no matter how many times I push the remote. I have to strip him again, pull out the batteries and put the in again before he works. Is this a common problem with Hot toys Vader???

I say sell as many as you can......sounds like 'easy' money. I realize nothing easy in what you did. You ever do a partial one, lemme know? I'd love one, but it seems huge

You should really see my diorama as the ultimate display case. It can hold more than 8 figures easily
