Hot Toys Rogue One Vader MMS388

The SW figures really look awesome. I'm not a diehard fan but I have to force myself not ordering Vader & Yoda to represent the franchise on my shelves.

Don't force yourself.

Spoiler

Wait, I thought he was in only 2 scenes (his castle on Mustafar and in the end, chasing down the plans)? Was there an after-credits sequence? I left in the middle of credits roll.

When did the HT go to waitlist? Is this one worth owning along with the ANH version, or are they hardly different from one another? Are parts able to be combined to fix the flaws of ANH version? Or could there be an ESB Vader coming from HT in the near future?

I think it just waitlisted late Saturday. It was still available as of Friday and earlier in the day.

I learned one thing in collecting Star Wars: classic stuff is always more interesting (some would even say it holds value better) than the other stuff. So characters like these are a good choice for beginning a Star Wars collection.

Hehe, I knew someone would notice that.

I just saw that both figures I want most from this franchise release in February/March here in Europe. I don't think Vader will sell out since the previous version is widely available.

I've started buying my figures from ebayers located in HK to get them earlier. Loontentoys is a good ebay store. Decent prices considering you'd have to pay for shipping and customs from Sideshow.

The ANH version had electronics/sound in the body didn't it and this new RO one doesn't? I'm assuming that would account for the difference.

I don't think so. Anywhere the body is described, it's mentioned that this is a newly developed body. The look of the body seems different too (the chest looks wider and the legs don't look as short as they do on the ANH Vader body.

Did someone mention the body? I know what it looks like .

Chris Reeve Superman body? With additional padding.

I jumped on the waitlist for this at Sideshow. Those of you who are saying there will be a second batch - has Hot Toys mentioned this somewhere or is this something expected since they released a second wave of OT figures?

Sideshow always does this when they know there will be a demand for something, then they "magically" have the item available shortly after it's gone to waitlist.

The arms are placed a little wider and the calf pegs look longer, so I think this might be an improvement upon the ANH Vader figure look. Otherwise, it's similar to the previous Vader body with the exception of the aforementioned changes.

Are you sure?
Where's the restock of was machine ?

Some minor differences between the ANH belt and RO . The belt boxes are larger on the RO belt. The belt is thicker but easier to split when opening. So be careful. I have another ANH belt so I'm not too made about it !

The attachments at the reverse of the buckle are different also. So please be very careful.

For this worried about putting the robes over the armour, worry not. It is very easy and in my opinion looks better and is accurate.






You'll also notice that the circle and oval part on the RO buckle us smaller. The circular part is darker, it is not a trick of the light.

I'm not happy that I missed my chance at getting this Vader. I hope they'll restock.

More pics for you all.

 

[paulcarson]

A few more ...





I have a number of Vader parts I'm not keeping if anyone wants them ? (RO shins, RO cod -which is really flexible and well made , SS ROTJ 3 piece leather suit , 1 pair of black faux leather like gloves and ANH leather gauntlets)

Still early to jump on the waitlist, though. Some even think they will restock as well. It's sold out at BBTS.

I think Timewalker Toys still has pre order stock and it's even discounted a little.

I much prefer the tunic over the armor. I just think it looks better, aesthetically-speaking. Also, that's the first Vader I saw, so I was a tad disappointed that they changed the look for him the first time I saw ESB.

Maybe Hot Toys will switch the tunic for Batch 2...?

I like it better too. Makes him seem more like a man than a robot somehow.
