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

I think you might find that the R1 cape is a better fit on ANH vader..

Agreed

I have a lot of RO vader parts that I used. I used the RO body & RO suit as I liked the look of it better as I think the ANH body is bulky. and I also used the ANH boots on the RO body. I might try to swap out the part with electronic light saber arm socket with the RO socket to see if it will fit.

Agreed

I think maybe because the ANH Body is shorter , maybe that is why . An interesting thing , i customized my RO vader with a ANH suit . The ANH cape and tunic drape well and using the RO shoulder armour. However when i use the RO suit and use the ANH cape using the RO Body , i think what happens is the shoulder armour positions itself because of the velcro and it pushes the cape up making it look hulky like an NFL player.

its worse when i used the RO cape which is why perhaps it doesnt cover the ankles when using the RO Body with RO Shoulder armour and RO Suit.

I am buying a new ANH Vader tomorrow ( i regretted selling mine a few months ago ) and will trade my modded RO vader .

SO FAR MY MODDED Vader is a RO body , RO boots , Sideshow V3 Vader Cod , ANH Suit , ANH Capes, RO Helmet with weathering , RO gloves and partridge n a pear tree. * FARK MAN so many different combos LOL

Yeah, here's a rear/side shot of how the RO cape drapes on the ANH body. Doesn't seem to drag quite as much, gets those nice folds.

FARK is right! But looks great.

Don't know about the fit But I hate the RO cape and tunic. ANH version drapes much better and doesn't flare like the RO does.

This^ for the life of me I cannot get a good drape on the RO cape

Well now I'm really confused.


I think I'll give it a go -- RO cape on ANH figure -- I have it, might as well try it.

 

[SilverStar17]

So.....the R1 cape is a yay or nay?

 

[IndyMOS]

To me it's a yay, but I don't have the ANH figure so I can't compare. On my figure it has a very nice drape. I really like all the folds in the back.

That's the spirit!

This was just posted today. ESB Vader (on the left) is coming.

 

[loki2371]

That's a ROTJ Vader, not Empire. Chest piece is slightly different in Empire, and the one in photo is from jedi.

Technically it's neither. The helmet has the widows peak, which is absent in the ESB/ROTJ versions. It also sits too low/tilted forward on the head. Basically it's just a shiny ANH helmet with the larger neck vent. Also, the hook for the cape chain is absent. But other than that, it seems to be a pretty spot on ROTJ Vader. Hot Toys will fix all these issues anyways to deliver us the best ESB/ROTJ Vader ever!

Hopefully they are not done with the prototype and that's just the RO helmet stuck on the figure.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Basically they've cobbled together a representative vader for the Luke specs. But one is definitely coming anyway.

 

[matrix69]

Yeah it looks like the ROTJ vader is still in it's early stages and just a prototype...but the mask looks to be a two-piece for the reveal.. View attachment 352810

were the eye lenses always red through out the other two films a well ?

Most definitely. You're right..and they might have just photoshopped the larger neck vent - or that was the only new tooling they did in a pinch.

Hoy Toys thrown together figures look better than Sideshows final products lol.

From what I know, there was no red tint at all in the other two films (just black). But a bigger Star Wars geek than me might know differently.

I just got my RO hands for my ANH figure..and am having quite the time getting these gloves to fit without bunching up the sleeves. I used a small dental rubber band to try and keep the sleeve in place, but not working. Does anyone please have any suggestions on what I can do?

I have those hands my self there great. I`m working on a ESB/ROTJ Darth vader using parts from RO to SS and kaiyodo
