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

[Solo_bones]

I still don't know how to separate the mask. Any tips?

HT used a nose plug which is inaccurate and was one of the real nitpicks i had with the stock figure...stock on the right,modded on the left View attachment 281820

Thank you!

Moving that nose plug was a MUST!!! but what mods did you do
to the actual plug!???

getting the mask APART, or getting the helmet off?? both are kinda nervy, but easy!!

Great photo!

Although when I look at it, as opposed to "I find your lack of faith disturbing," the first thing that pops into my mind for some reason is, "Come with me, if you want to live."

Yeah I don't know how to make him look any more menacing. Lowering the dome and getting those red eyes would probably help. But I'm probably not gonna do that.

No need to. As great as many of the mods that people do here look, he can look pretty menacing stock straight out of the box.

Here is how I had mine posed when I first got him. No mods at all:

I've since changed up to the "I've been waiting for you Obi-Wan" pose with the saber though.

What do you chaps think the odds are of a tweaked Rogue one reissue of Vader at the end of the year? I'm thinking to hold out for that

I was thinking that as well. What would they tweak on this one do you think? Would it be worth it to wait and probably pay more?

Very high.

It's Vader and it's Star Wars. If HT made a Batman figure(s) from Suicide Squad just from what looks to simply be flashback sequences in the film, they'll surely make a Vader from Rogue One.

He will probably have more screen time than Luke had and I would think a bigger seller figure wise. Looking forward to seeing how it looks.

I got the helmet off easy, but I couldn't figure out how to separate the mask. I tried cutting the pegs that glue together at the bottom and pulling but it wasn't budging. So I got scared.

don't cut!!! keep at it with the wiggle and pull. it WILL come apart!!

 

[Waste Time Continuum]

Yep, it's just a patience game.

 

[rhboyd]

indeed!!! don't force it... and don't be too gentle... a little in the middle!! firm, but gentle... you can do this!!!

 

[Waste Time Continuum]

This is starting to sound dirty.

"Keep pulling at your little helmet, firm but gentle... You'll get it off"

 

[rhboyd]

lol!! too funny... but kinda true!!!

 

[Solo_bones]

Lol....sounds bad, but thanks for the tips and words of encouragement. I'll go at it and give it a tug tomorrow.

I think they would probably do something about the voice box thing as it seems they have come for a lot of criticism on how that works. Even if they took it out entirely I wouldn't mind, didn't see myself using it much
