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

[Mmmmm Napalm]

Anyone know of a way to improve the look of the robes, and have them flare out less? Alternatively, does anyone know of any easily attainable and high quality substitutes for the HT robes?

So what's the mod people have done to bring his arms closer to his sides?

Still waiting on bloody popcultcha down here in Australia to get this back in stock

I believe they cut away part of the chest around the armpit area.

Beautiful pic.

The futz is strong with this one.

 

[Aliaz]

Very nice!

 

[Rheul01]

Your lighting is spot on! I haven't spent much time with my Vader lately. Maybe it's time to do some futzing!

Nice picture!

I did the armpit mod that sets the arms down. You can't see it, but the velcro got f'd up on the gauntlets so i had to replace the velcro with a new one that i had to double stick tape up.

[paulcarson]

The torso is cut away at the sides underneath the armpits. This allows the arms to lay naturally against the body and removes the "carrying heavy invisible shopping bag syndrome" . I've tried it and it makes a world of difference.

 

[cmiller99]

Shaving the sides of the body to let the arms hang closer, I think.


Edit: Ah, Paul beat me to it

Sure does look great, anyway. Nice job kurtochoa.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Thanks. Yes I completely understood what it would achieve, just didn't know how laborious it would be.

Guess fairly if you have to take off the suit. Then again, I did do similar to the chest of the DX02 so perhaps I might attempt.

 

[T2_1991_LD]

I like the figure a lot. I have to agree to some on this form that he is somewhat thick or fat or too huskie . Being that said. Has anybody experiment in changing bodies or shaving down other than arm pits . I was thinking of using the Man of Steel body. Its slight taller. I believe.

Would HT Kylo Ren's body be slightly slimmer, whilst maintaining height?

 

[TonTon]

I think I tried the Kylo body but it's slimmer in many areas (stomach, arms, legs) and then the suit was very baggy. Would probably require a lot of padding to fill it out.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Surely if the aim is to have it slimmer then the suit would have to be fitted to the slimmer replacement body? Not padding out the gaps.
