Great futzing!
I ordered a leather replacement suit from Rise customs for mine earlier this week. I don't have any flaking issues, but since I'm completely rebuilding and resculpting him to be ESB accurate, I wanted to go all out in making this the best Vader it can be.
For the 20th anniversary perhaps? They already have the prototype, so just make it after being teased a decade ago:I would love a 1/4 ANH version but expect that we’ll get either a 1/4 mythos battle damaged or 1/4 ROTS - I’d take either with the crispy Hayden portrait
I’m pretty nostalgic for ROTS Vader, so I don’t know if I’d need it in 1/6 but I could do 1/4 as something of a centerpiece.Re: HOT TOYS OS 1/4 Darth Vader (pic courtesy Seanxlong)

You can follow my progress in my custom thread here if you're interested: https://www.collectorfreaks.com/threads/agonistes-star-wars-customs.238985/Thank you. I have real leather suit and boots for him(I forget who produced the runs...Hnlee maybe was the name?...was a while back probably when 1/4 was released), just haven't put it on yet. When I eventually set my shelves back up, I'll probably get around to it. Quarter Vader deserves the proper respect! Looking forward to your pics when he's complete
Aww, man - you gotta post pics when you update the figure. I’ve not followed the thread close enough to remember a Rise discussion. I bet it will look amazing. You ever think of looking for pegs on eBay instead of mauling the boot? I have to believe there’s a compatible peg that existsI have a question for those of you who replaced the bodysuit: How do you remove the ankle pegs from the feet on this?
I received my Rise customs leather replacement suit, which also comes with new boots (including the foot inside). I can see that the inside of the boot is angled where the joint/peg inserts, towards the front of the foot. But I can't get a good grip on the HT peg to pull it out of the foot. I don't want to force it and possible end up breaking the peg.
Any advice?
Does Rise make 1/6 leather suits for Vader and if so, how can I reach out to them? I tried googling them and couldn't find themI have a question for those of you who replaced the bodysuit: How do you remove the ankle pegs from the feet on this?

The thing is, a part of the ankle and lower shin is stuck to the ankle peg as well.Aww, man - you gotta post pics when you update the figure.
