HOT TOYS QS 1/4 Darth Vader (pic courtesy Seanxlong)

[GaryPool]

I've not really played around with him yet. Opened and had this pose since Christmas, not played around with any of his light-up features. I think he's stunning enough as-is (I don't really focus on all the film-to-figure discrepancies), I'm always overwhelmed with how much presence he has out fo the box and into a pose when I look over. Took out of the detolf for a quick dust. May play with the lights some other time when it isn't so hot.

Definitely a grail piece that I will probably never sell.

EDIT: One gripe that I did have upon opening it was the crease mark in the pleather just under his chest gadget thing and the creases in his thigh, came out of the box like that, as if whoever assembled the piece really forced the pieces on and dragged the pleather material into itself harshly. Anyone else get that?

He's a grail piece for sure , it is why he is sold out especially the exclusive which I think should have been included in the standard edition. They should have made the exclusive Luke's Lightsaber or a transparent Helmet that lights up when he gets electrocuted. Anyway I love this figure , in my opinion the " be all ENDOR " Darth Vader to own.

Don't worry about the creases the more the better . The suit is majorly wrinkly and creased in the film

I love this Vader , I think I love the pointed finger glove the most as it displays Vader's authority.

" Dont fail me again .....Admiral "

Best picture I?ve seen of him yet. Awesome!

Favorite piece I own.

I have to agree with you. I might have to pose mine the same way

The exclusive should have had an extra mask part with special stand to be able to display the mask properly

Again, excellent photos everybody! This Darth Vader will represent Star Wars in my collection.

No, when you display Vader with his Anakin head on, you need a proper and complete stand for the helmet, with the lower part and top included, as it looks odd otherwise

 

[sithocan]

You can do that too.

 

[kipyfire01]

You can buy this figure in Korea only with 440,000 krw (aprox 355$). Because in Korea, people don't care about Star Wars.

I feel the same way, I think HT should have included the mask display with the regular version since they gave us two display options for the head. The upper part of the base should have been the exclusive like HT did with the QS Ironman Mark 42

You can do that too.

If you buy the lower part of the helmet separately...

This morning I took out the Hot Toys Death Star Gunner, Vader ANH, Vader ESB and 1/4 Vader, as well as Medicom Vader, and sprayed the pleather suits with 303 Aerospace proctectant. I used silicone spray when I got all these figures so they were already protected, but now I bought this 303 spray, and used it too, to be sure the pleather will last as much as possible. I highly recommend collectors to try to take care of the pleather present on various figures.

No, you still can do that.
The parts you have:
1-Lower part of the helmet on the body
2-Lower part of the helmet on the display base
3-Upper part of the helmet + dummy head (can be placed on either of 1 and 2)
4- Headsculpt (can be placed on either of 1 and 2)

I've never heard of this 303 spray, where can you buy some? Also, is it odorless? Wife has really bad allergies is why I'm asking

It might be cool if you have for example Anakin head on the figure (not that I would care to display him like that) and a separate full helmet on the EX stand. Can this be done without acquiring extra parts?

It doesn't have a smell, it is like a white liquid, similar to milk

 

[sithocan]

If you remove the over the head lamp piece.

 

[jkno]

And what remains on the figure itself?

And what remains on the figure itself?

The special edition has an extra lower part of the mask included with the light stand. So on the figure there's the "original" lower part of the mask with the Anakin headsculpt.

 

[sithocan]

As I've said. You have 2 bottom parts, 1 upper part and 1 headsculpt. What do you need more?
I suggest you'd watch an unboxing or review video. Then you will see.
