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

[punisher1974]

Not trying to be a jerk, but what exactly is he doing? Going after his lightsaber?

Looks like he is putting on his gloves. I have seen a similar behind the scenes picture somewhere

Fantastic image but I was thinking the same.

Fantastic image but I was thinking the same.

didnt wanna be mean as the figure looks great but when I first saw the pic I thought of a small child using hand signals that they have to go poo poo...

Iwas like , WTH...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Isn't he just putting on his gloves?

 

[FlyAndFight]

I thought he was performing a magic act and was about to pull out a long line of handkerchiefs...

The pose is based on a somewhat well known reference pic of Vader, where yeah, I think the person in the suit was tightening up the gloves for the shoot but they liked how it looked.

Looks very nice, Matrix.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Just playing. The figure looks fantastic.

Looks pretty close to me.

If there wasn't stand, I wouldn't be able to tell which one is Prowse.

Yeah, there it is. I didn't realize it was actually Prowse in that shot.

Heavens no. Matrix has been posting his intricate modding details throughout this thread for years. There are many modded Vaders in this thread, but his is my favorite.

No it's heavily modified.

No it's not...it's Kermit...but i don't want to spoil my delusion

I revisited my old Vader. I think I just need the RO or Tarkin's Vader gloves, to improve it a lot.

(If any of you have extra gloves, let me know.)

Without getting too crazy with mods, I think if you just simply raise the cod piece, slide the belt boxes over closer to the buckle, and replace the gloves (if you’re going to have the gloves visible), then this figure looks suitable as an ANH Vader.

Agreed. I shimmied the codpiece up and moved the belt boxes and he looked much better. Haven?t replaced the gloves, but they are covered in the current pose.

That's all I did as well. I also did change the boots to the Tarkin 2pk version since the original ANH figure didn't have the shin guard straps. But not really necessary as you don't easily see them. I only bought em cause I got em relatively cheap during a TA 25% off sale.
