Official Sideshow 1/6 ANH Darth Vader PHOTO Thread

[Too Much Garlic]

I don't know what this means. His arms look normal, hands hang at his croth like most everyone.

You can certainly believe that all you want, doesn't make it correct.


EDIT: Sorry, that was rather snarky and I apologize for that. Having worked on a sculpt using the actors actual measurements during shooting of Empire Strikes back, there is no mistaking that his arms are rather long compared to others whose hands are about level with their crotch, his are definitely below that.

And we were talking about the robe under or over the armor, not the shoulder "bells".

I was replying to the below comment:

Vader also had much more sloaped shoulders in ANH, he didn't have the wider, squared shoulders till ESB.

Appreciate that, thank you.

I would defer to you then about the length as you have actual experience. The pic you posted kind of cheats with the crotch guard riding so high but I don't want to get into a tit for tat as I'm no expert. I'm speaking solely from my POV only. The Vader figure has all kinds of issues if you really get into it, so hands that ride a little short or not may simply be relative.

He can reach! He can reach!

Now give that man a reach-around!

Wow. That pic shows just how big the helmet is compared to the rest of him.

Fiend, everything you need to know is here:

PJB has an excellent and very clear tutorial. I personally prefer his method for all the reasons you mentioned. The KP mod just doesn't look right to me.

Cheers for the link pix. I see I have to invest in a Stormy body. I thought it was just removing something. WIll a clone body do? I haven't checked the prices on either.

Mine is still on the stock body. I removed the mid section piece completely. Then shortened the peg that connects them. I also cut 1/4 inch out of the thighs as I thought they were too long. I also want to shorten the arms a bit because now he looks like an ape.

Could you explain what you did a little more if you don't mind. Did you put the stormy torso in? And what peg are you referring to? Thanks.

 

[pixletwin]

Clone body is exactly what I used.

Right. Basically you are removing Vaders stomach (2 pieces mid section) and swapping them with the clone/stormie stomach (2 pieces mid section) just the pictures show in the link I posted. Then you wrap it with gorilla tape to add bulk.

 

[TheFiend]

Ok, I thought so. It was just the way jim worded it it sounded like he may have did something different. Thanks. Im off to look for a clone body.

If anyone who replaced the dome with a Hasbro dome would like to get rid of their Sideshow dome, please let me know.

[devilof76]

Or you can let King Darkness know, and he will let me know.

Thanks.

 

[King Darkness]

Thanks.

 

[devilof76]

Actually, just send the dome to King Darkness. He will gladly pay whatever you ask.

 

[King Darkness]

Actually, never mind. I'm not helping devilof76 no mores

 

[devilof76]

If you bought me an extra Vader dome, I would have been your friend.

 

[King Darkness]

I have enough friends.

 

[devilof76]

I'm not a very good friend anyway.

 

[Tabula Rasa]

You two always make me laugh my ass off.

 

[jkno]

I want a Hasbro Vader dome too. But how the hell can I remove the SS one, maybe with a hairdryer?
