Hot Toys Rogue One Vader MMS388

[Wor-Gar]

Regular is a must after watching this movie. Instant classic character.

Are you in the right thread?

Costume nerdom aside, I'd argue his best on screen scenes were in this film. I mean we finally got to see

Spoiler

McQuarrie's Vader Castle

 

[Wor-Gar]

I agree with that! That was awesome.

Can't wait for RO Battle Version Vader by HT.

Debating this figure but lack of saber piece is an odd choice. Could be a deal breaker, may not be.

McQuarrie's Vader Castle

Spoiler

I wonder where it is... Vjun? Or good old Mustafar?

I know I've seen it before but couldn't find it in my The Art of Star Wars books from the 90's.

I thought Vader looked kind of off in the movie. The way he moved and the way he looked. I'm not sure why though.

Spoiler

Though the scene in the hallway was amazing and I would love to see more Vader in action

Because it wasn't Prowse in the costume, I would think. Not bad for a Disney portrayal and not like you can get Prowse to play him now.

Spoiler

Trying to recall some other time when Vader engaged grunts like that and can't really come up with one. Guess the closest was Empire, but that was more implied.

It's Had Abbadon

Glad Hot Toys have him the lightsaber blade. Well I couldn't imagine them not including it anyway. But after watching the movie I actually kinda wish he had the option of a light-up arm. Such a great scene.

 

[SithThundercracker]

For that Castle question

Spoiler

I thought it was Mustafar and it's Mustafar...confirmed by Pablo Hidalgo on Twitter:

I find it incredibly sad.

 

[TaliBane]

See, if I was Vader I'd be hanging out on Scarif, getting a little sun and sand on the old wounds.



And "...the site of the longest, most boring lightsaber duel in the entire Star Wars series."

Spoiler

I've seen unboxing videos of this figure and it DOES come with the blade.

 

[chrisstbh]

Vader in this movie is the best representation of Vader out of all the movies. Ordered this figure today.

Spoiler

Seriously though, that ending scene. The way he just slaughtered those helpless Rebels like it was nothing to him. The way he whipped his saber back to cut the guy in half whilst he was still pushed up to the ceiling. The Rebel banging on the door screaming "HELP US" out of fear. Really made Vader feel terrifying like always knew he was.

If only it was that way onscreen.

Thank goodness for youtube and fans I guess.

Huh? He does have it.

 

[takuGuy]

So does this figure have red tinted lenses?

So does this figure have red tinted lenses?

From unboxing videos it looks like it does but it's a lot more subtle than the ANH version.
