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

[Sturtrup]

In case you still need another pic, here is the HT ANH (top) and SS ANH (bottom) belt box for comparison. SS is slightly longer, but HT is thicker front to back.

Thanks Phoenix..
Perfect comparision. I definitely ...don't know...aaarrrggg....

Not the greatest of pics, but finally finished modding the display stands to emit orange lights reminiscent of the Carbonite Freezing chamber floors.

Those gloves really do make a difference though. Love matrix's photos. I missed the rogue one Vader but hopefully ESB Vader has some gloves I can put on anh Vader. In meantime I'm buying a dremel and preparing to JAZZ up my anh Vader.

I think if anything it should be the other way around. Shinier RO dome over the matte ANH mask.

I tried that as well. I love the battle damage on the ANH mask, but from a distance on a shelf it looks muddied. The R1 mask just has a meaner look to it, I think the black paint for the upper "lids" helps this. I decided to display him with the stock R1 helmet. Here's Vader with Ben...

You need to be aware that Vader ESB gloves are different than ANH ones

HT is more accurate and lights up...

Lights up is a great feature, about the accuracy I'm not so sure, ht seems more accurate in the six button and sideshow in the green light...I'm confused..

Last picture is noot screen cap but gino's

For me the SS green buttons are a little over scaled but one flaw with the HT is that the red barely lights up..

The ht green button have got a weird black frame/edge.... I'm totally confused now....

Neither is perfect so it's all about preference at the end of the day..

You are right my friend, so I think that...two dogs strive for a bone and a third runs away with it...so I'll go with ro boxes....

The lights on the belt boxes aren't what I would call lights...





Clear painted plastic.

I'll probably replace the red light with a small led. I'm stumped as to how I will power them though!

Hey Paul, so is there just one LED behind this piece illuminating all 3 clear "lights?"

Hell, just replace the plastic piece with better "bulbs" -- nice clear colored plastic -- and use the same HT light system.

I really like him more than the R1 Vader.

Even the gloves don't really bother me that much.
