Hot Toys Rogue One Vader MMS388

Help Support Collector Freaks Forum:
It's sort of funny that a costume person would need all of thirty minutes to watch Vader in ANH, and see the obvious inner robe placement evident in every shot, yet we're all debating whether they got such a blatantly obvious, simple to get right, detail wrong.
Simple answer: this hobby = OCD
That shot gives me chills -- ANH Vader walking right off the screen after nearly 40 years.
(even if he doesn't walk right and JEJ sounds like an old man overdoing it now)

Bingo. I actually find it hilarious that people obsess with (and get pissed about) all these minor details with him and Fett. To each you own I guess but things are a lot easier and happier not worrying about it.

Vader has got some serious swag in that shot though. I would definitely need a new change of pants if I were standing there and he emerged from a cloud of smoke waking towards me with that kind of bravado.
It's hilarious how the members of this forum have a need to clearly define where on the OCD scale they sit. And always how very, very far from the top that is.
There really ought to be a questionnaire - how many times you've seen the movies in total, how many dozens of quotes you can recite, how many dolls you have, how many years you've "collected", how many accumulated hours you've spent in a SW costume, etc., etc....
No....

Most people on here have no idea how "sick" they really are. And how badly they need this bizarre miniature level of "control" to be happy and "in order".

There's two sides of OCD with this hobby as far as I'm concerned: The group that makes every single little mod because they want their expensive figure to look as balls on accurate as possible; probably details the actor or actress didn't even notice themselves on these outfits. Or the group that doesn't want their expensive figures even breathed on, much less making any sort of mod to them lest ruining their expensive figure.
I tend to be the latter.
It's one shot I know, and it's not the clearest in terms of lighting etc. but the white switch seems mighty bright compared to the grey ones next to it.
I am not my father and it's more than possible I'm both a chosen one and have magical powers if I just put my mind to it eventually, so my interest in all this transcends dolls.

LOL, true!
I'm the former. I know I'm crazy though, and I never bother folks that don't obsess as much as me.

I'm somewhere in-between. Depends on the figure. I've torn some apart to mod them, left others pristine. I'm a fickle beast like that.

My guideline is that if it doesn't bother me, then I'll leave it alone. Most of the time, a lot of these things don't bother me. However, if it bothers me and it's something where I don't know what I'm doing, then I'll also leave it alone.
I don't know though. There's something that appeals to me that they're still just as pristine as the day I took them out of the box. OCD indeed.
There's no one universal "right" way to collect in my book though.

I guess it not bothering me is a good way to put it. I know the differences but I just don't really care. I guess if others do that's fine but the first time i hear somebody complain that the base body doesn't look exactly like David Prouse (or whoever is in the costume for this one) I'm making fun of them.

I just want a Vader that doesn't make me want to throw him across the room. And that looks more accurate/proportionate than the Sideshow versions. xD

TheRPF (replica prop forum) is a fantastic resource. I'd also recommend the PropDen forum. It might be an even greater wealth of Vader knowledge. Personally I lurk on both. Just ignore some of the politics between the two sites and absorb all the knowledge. Oh, and don't get caught up in silly arguements like the C-scar debacle... lots of people insist they have the definitive "right" answer on stuff like that... just look at the reference material and make up your own mind. Or don't worry about such trivial details at all... (blasphemy!
Thanks guys!
