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

[Wor-Gar]

I don't know if you guys can notice, but I've modded the arms so they could go down straight as well... bad thing is the left arm is so stubborn that even with the cuts on the side of the pectorals or underneath the armpit, it still wont go down straight.

Nice pictures. Bump worthy....

Well if you have a camera flash which you could position, direct it to the ceiling and it should bounce right back on the helmet!

I've heard people saying about moving the cod piece up higher, but how do you actually do that? Isn't it glued down?

It's held by velcro

you have to tuck the crotch strap up inside the codpiece, or cut it off.

I've changed the armor to the sideshow v1. I am going to repaint it. Thoughts?

Hey bbl, how come you went with the SS armor?

 

[Nailz]

i get mine in 2 weeks, not going to bother undressing it and putting the batteries in to test the voice command , but would try it if anyone getting this second batch can confirm the glitch with the first batch was fixed where you dont have to reset the on and off switch every 30 seconds to make it work

Wow this thread was kind of quiet the past few days must've been because of the B vs S craze

Well i'm going to repaint it. Don't want to paint the hot toys version.

I was/am looking for the hot toys armor because i want to keep original parts. Ebay was way too expensive and nobody seems to part out vader that much these days. Still hoping TA will have him once more but looking at the selling rate of the old parts i guess that's far off. Also there update time is always around 1 o clock at night so i miss out on most stuff.

So if anybody has a spare vader hot toys shoulderarmor for sale please let me know.

Is the Hot Toys shoulder armor superior to SS? I was just going to use SS as well.

In the case of the tearing belts issue I have a solution and I have done it . I will post pics up later . But I have came up with a good solution for those collectors suffering from torn belts and trying to move the slider boxes closer to the buckle.

solution : I completely made a new belt from vynil / leather and it is just a good looking as the original . This gives you the option to move the lightsabre hook wherever you please and you can slide boxes closer or further apart depending on how you want to potion them . The vynil leather material is vastly string and doesnt tear at all. I totally feel comfortable with my new belt i made from scratch . Also because the belt doesnt have velcro behind it , you can slide those boxes easily and it doesnt hinder the belt or damage it in anyway .

How about a close up? Can't tell much from a thumbnail.

Agreed. A close-up picture of this would be interesting to see.
