This Vader looks incredible! I'm working on bashing together a Vader, can someone help? I bought HT ANH body what do the ankle pegs look like and would the SS Vader boots work on that body? Thanks in advance

Unboxed this bad boy today... Man is he imposing:

I was surprised to see he's larger than the Mark 45.

Haven't done some real futzing yet, but I did attempt to remove the tunic wires and failed. How do you guys feed the wire out? From the bottom of the tunic? The bottom edge of my tunic has a very thick seam on it (like the cloth was folded into itself). I do not see how the wire can come out there. What am I missing?

I just used a razor to cut the seam
right above the bottom and fished it out. Didn't even bother re-sewing.

Took a few pics of this guy with my custom (unfinished) meditation chamber diorama. Sadly, the stock body and suit wasn't articulated in the legs to get to the sitting position, so I used another body and suit and combined parts from the ANH Vader.

in the film they had taken off the codpiece so he can sit. there are a bunch of behind the scenes pics i've seen where he's not wearing it.

Hi I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong thread? Just want to know if these parts are compatible. Thanks

Cool! I never noticed that. There isn't any problem with the codpiece of the figure though. Its the HT body suit and probably its thickness in the leg area that restricts the articulation.

Thanks! @generalgrevious & @irezumi! Sadly, the chamber is too wide to fit in an Ikea detof. I have another glass cabinet though which I scaled it to.

well I do to have another glass cabinet which has two doors I think they 15" in height and I forget the width of it.

Thanks! I will try that out.

Hello, this is the right place to ask.
I don't think they are compatible, but I can't be certain as I don't have the SS Vader anymore, sorry!

Ok thanks

I really didn't like Vader until now, that's after swapping out the fat body/suit for RO version. Since I hated the shiny/glossy head sculpt, boots, huge cod piece, and armor from RO........I ended up keeping everything else to swap it out to use on my ANH.

Nice pic!

Hey guys, I finally broke down and grabbed an ANH Vader. This thread is huge and I know it's come up before, but I'm just going to ask again now. How did you guys deal with the belt? It's too loose imo and I can't get the little control boxes close to to belt buckle because the underside of the belt has velcro strips preventing it.

For my boxes, I just slightly bent the hooks outward (only the two on each box that would actually be around the Velcro) with tweezers, being careful not to break them off entirely, so that way they're able to accommodate the thickness of and hook over the Velcro.

I think it was only 2 of the 4 hooks on each box that would be around the Velcro at least, not all 4. Even if so, just do the same with bending them outward a bit.
