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

[guyver1]

IDK must seem different in person with these huge modded Vaders. Certain angles I think Vader's helmet looks too big and crooked and his body looks shorter because the chest plate is too dark.

I'm not feeling it..sorry

I think the cod piece , belt boxes pushed in more , and chest box lowered is enough, maybe straightening out the inner robes. But I think HT nailed the helmet and armor as is

Again it could look different in hand that we need to modd him heavy to get him more screen accurate.

Dammit I can't do that till June-July, that's my favourite Star Wars pic!

Put the Stormtrooper belt on Han and it will look like the poster.

You really also need to:
1) swap out HT Vader for a cookie jar,
2) use Black series Chewie instead,
3) add Bandai's 3PO and R2, a Power of the Force Deathstar and titanium Y-wing
4) find an Obi-wan and Tarkin bust,
5) then track down some Micromachine X-wing and TIE's, or maybe those game ones I seen around.

Well that was my plan... until I gave the cookie jar away.

Still waiting for my notice, spoke to Live chat and they just said it would be at some point in March.

I actually spoke to someone on the phone today and was told its March /April now, Even though the site does not reflect that. I was told they have heard nothing from Hot Toys yet as to when more will be coming......

Well, guess I'll cancel my order and buy him off of bbts. Im tired of waiting.

See if you can get your NRD back at least. The wait is kinda absurd.

Those waiting can wish it was...but I doubt they address that issue until the next actual release.

Will sideshow v1 armor work on the ht vader? Thinking of swapping them out

I assume it was intentional but did all the helmets come out slightly lower on the the right side?

No. People are removing the helmet, shaving down the inside of the dome and Vader's scalp a tad, and reattaching the dome lower and to the right.

The helmet is asymmetrical, not sure if it's lowered on one side but looking from the top it has a really clear misshapen look.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Well not lowered. I should of been more specific. I guess the right side hangs lower due to it being longer.

EDIT: After going through posts, I see this was to make it accurate to the film. I was only aware of the tusks not being painted the same, so the asymmetrical helmet is new to me.

Spoke to SS today, they said he is scheduled in house Apr. 7th.
