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

[Godfather1408]

Mine arrived today an Holy sh**t balls this is most impressive! The presence an attention to detail are 2nd to none!

Planning to install LED lights into the bottom base as I don't have room for 2 tier stand but this thing is seriously worth every penny!
Currently reposing but took some pics.

Before you say it yes that is the Hasbro smart R2-D2

Just got mine today!

?..and 1 of the tusks is broken. Just took the top piece of cardboard foam and noticed it right away.

I've never ordered anything through Sideshow before. What's my best course of action?

Email Sideshow pics and ask for replacement.

Thanks, will do.

I guess I should inspect everything now to make sure nothing else is damaged/missing.

This looks great! Already have the IS statue so not sure I'll order it. Love the extra sculpt. The chopped off hand potentially opens the door for a 1/4 Luke eventually. That elevated base is really strange and I worry a bit about all that pleather.

 

[Celtic007]

Awesome figure.

 

[DarthRusty]

This thing is freaking amazing!!!! I need to do some major futzing on the outfit (hence the twisted pant leg), but no biggie. Also the switch, on the small head/helmet holding base, was frozen in the off position. While working on getting it to move, the lever broke off. I've already contacted SS for a replacement.

I LOVE THIS IN MY COLLECTION!!!!
pardon the mess


I'll try & take better photos tomorrow.

To answer the battery question from Jkno....

AAA in the tall base extension you'll never use
AG4/LR626 in the belt boxes & chest
AG1/LR621 in the lightsaber hilt

Dashboard silicone spray helps pleather last longer in time.

Thanks DR!

Well, I've already taken the batteries out of the tall base extension & put that away. Earlier in the day I turned it on to test the lights, & then I shut it off. A bunch of hours later, I'm shutting the lights off in the house & going to bed, & only when it was all dark in the house...... what's this? Lights? I checked, yes the base is "off", but I'm still seeing very faint light (only visible once all other lights in the house are off). I turn it on, it's very bright. I turn it off.... it's very very dim, but not "off".
Don't know if anyone else has seen, or checked for, this issue, but thought I would put this out there.

I thought I was out... but then i curiously stumble into this thread and I'm immediately pulled back in. Wow. Cancelled and returned a BUNCH of other things so that I'm essentially not paying a cent for this. But this Vader feels like a once in a decade type of event. I had to be a part of this and I'm so excited to have him. Amazing pictures in here and this is the most screen accurate Vader I've ever seen. Just wow.

Is there a battery inside anymore? Or maybe a second one, smaller battery? Or a glow in the dark panel?

Nope. Now that the batteries are out, there is zero light coming from it. I wasn't gonna be using that high base anyway, so I'm fine with it. The light works, as does the switch, so that's all I cared about. It's boxed up.

Aaaaannd here's some photos of me playing with my new dolly. IT'S A FIGURE!!!

Here's my take on the pointing photo from earlier.


Throwing his lightsaber up to cut Luke's platform.


Couldn't resist this one.


Here he is with the Hot Toys Quarter Scale Boba Fett.

 

[D.R.37]

Very nice... Fett and him look good together.

...and 2-1B?? Very cool

Great pictures! I wanted to pose him like that and it took me forever to understand that his hands are resting on the boxes at his belt rather than having them hooked in his belt!

How all they need to do is make a Luke from the final battle of return of the Jedi.

Jesus!… just got the duty charge to pay for DHL... $232NZ! This is why collecting quarter scales is a once or twice a hobby event.
