Looks nice...
Have you only swapped the chest armour and the cod piece with a sideshow one or it's a kitbash?

 

[Futurion]

Looks like SSC codpiece.

Anybody have experience how long does an EMS package from HK to US takes approx? Especially during this time of the year?

EMS to USA is super fast a day or two. But when it hits customs, depending could take an extra day or so. All in all, shouldn't take more than 3 to 5 days including Saturday

I have to copy your pics to my computer, paste them in paint, rotate and crop, and save to my computer to post them here right side up.

These are Wongderek's reoriented pictures:

The tunic was indeed over the shoulder armor in each of his scenes. I do remember this distinctly without having to go back and look.

The scene in the top photo was never in R1. For all of his scenes in R1, the tunic was over the shoulder armor.

I paid close attention to his scenes and every one with Vader in armor had his tunic over his shoulder armor.

It can be addressed on the R1 Vader easily enough, just remove the cape and head and remove the shoulder armor off the tunic which is attached with velcro, slip the tops of the tunic down and off his shoulders, replace the armor and slip the tops of the tunic over the shoulder armor and put the cape and head back on. All this because Hot Toys made the belt non removable on the R1 Vader.

Like the helmet a lot, but that body suit is terrible. Those wrinkles are an eyesore. Plus, are the gloves really as glossy as they appear in pics?

Thanks for the info. How bout on late Dec like now where there's more packages than the other months due to Xmas? I had a package sent to US on Sat 24th Dec, so it should get there on Wed or Thursday the latest?

I'm almost wondering if it may be worth cutting the back of the belt and adding a strip of Velcro to both ends.

Yeah I'm still not crazy about that body suit they're using. Think I might try using the one from the first SS Vader instead, even though it might need to be taken in a bit given it's for a bigger and taller figure.

Should be good..they haven't started Chinese New Year yet. When that starts, shipping might be delayed a few weeks because most Asian retailers close shop to celebrate for a couple of weeks.

Since you ordered it before Xmas and now Christmas is over you should get it by the end of this week, again depending on US customs and how long they will take.

Check the tracking if you got it. If it hits US Customs before Weds, should only be a day it takes to clear. If it enters Customs later than Thurs, well then you still might get it by Sat, if not by next week for sure

 

[Ahab]

Ahoy!

For those curious...

I've attached the RO Vader sporting ANH head sculpt, codpiece and chest/shoulder armor. Also attached is a SS Deluxe (modified) with RO head sculpt.

Cheers,

The RO belt is removable actually... Unless mine is broken and the male/female ends of the snap have just enough friction to hold. I've taken if off twice though and it seems to work for me.

Is RO Vader shorter than ANH Vader?

Is RO Vader shorter than ANH Vader?

The HT Rogue One Vader is taller than the HT ANH version:

Here's the actual difference... (nocternus pictures)

That's reassuring, + rep. Thanks again!

Vader scene was back up snagged some shots before YouTube takes it down again

Yeah the robes were definitely over the armor



Why mess with the Cod Piece..clearly RO had a big cod piece like HT did. Think HT nailed it
