Which brand of batteries are the best for the lightsaber? As in longest lasting?

Its not dumb, it’s a sickness. It’s spreading and mutating too because I have the some problem and then some......

I've had this sickness for a while. I'm 3/4 of the way through modifying and resculpting the whole helmet. It will be pure ANH all the way.

The V1 suit is actually 2 pieces. V2 is 3 pieces. Personally I like the V1 suit better. Even though the V1 suit is more padded, I like the color and material better. To me the suit seems more durable than the V2 suit.

Finished up my shoulder armor. I combined the V2 armor with the V1 armor. I used the main portion of the V2 shoulder armor and the shoulder bells of the V1 armor. Then I sprayed 3 coats of the Krylon Matte as suggested by Ohhellno to tone down the glossiness of the armor.

Very nice ! I love it! There is a thread that contains a lot of upgrades / mods etc to this figure, would you mind if the information was shared in there ? I am certain that there are countless others who would benefit from your ideas and photographs

Nice customs all. I don't have the guts or talent so I'll stick with the stock figure (which I'm happy with).

V2 Vader came with Tarkin and god I need to mod him. What I really must change are the shoulder armor and ugly lightsaber. Not a fan of the robe either. Nice choice of hands, tho.

L to R, old ANH SSC modded, V1, V2, ROTJ SSC modded.

It’s good to see them all side by side like that. I think I’ll reassemble all the original SS ANH parts back together for nostalgia’s sake.
