Official Sideshow 1/6 ANH Darth Vader PHOTO Thread

[Too Much Garlic]

I saw one who did. Can't remember whether it was on the RPF or here. Sadly I don't think I saved any of the pictures.

Has anyone tried using the HT Arnie muzzle body for Vader?

This one --->

I saw someone post a t800 Vader mod, best Vader I'd ever seen, but that was a while back, my eyes may have seen better since

 

[FLOSI]

Must. See. Now.

 

[pixletwin]

Well TA just shipped my muzzle so I will Bring Vader to work and do the mod here. I'll post pics then. Unfortunately I don't have Lou or Tony's robes and cap yet, but I'll do what I can.

You have no control when it comes to Darth Vader.

Nope. He IS Star Wars for me. And I really find it hard to resist anything ANH or ESB.

That said, I don't expect it to be better.

What's your opinion on Lucas removing Shaw from RoTJ ghost sequence? I still get butterflies when Luke removes Anakins mask " let me look upon you, with my own eyes......" So awesome , too bad Lucas trampled on my soul with the PT.

I actually have a T-800 body now... so I guess I'll give that port a shot and see how he turns out.

I tried it.

Proved to be too much of a major pain in da ***. The way the shoulder armor sits on the shoulders made me worry about the chest piece breaking. Also coming up with a solution for the barbells attaching the head to the neck literally gave me a headache, but it seems the head rides pretty high up on the body.

The suit was SUPER tight on the body and by the time I got around to considering pulling the plugs out of the gloves and boots I decided to really make it all worth it I would need to get someont to re-tailor the entire suit.

Result: Gave up.

So instead I opened my bloody skull valentines and ate them.

Damn that sucks. I have an ACI Andrew coming. I'll give that one a go.

Thanks for the tutorial on the T-800 body, Pix. Good to know. Sorry it didn't work out but selfishly I'm relieved since it means I can be happy for now with my mod.

Very sad indeed. I understand why he did it. I don't understand the "ghost" logic though -- only when you're 'good' do you get to be a "ghost"? And only the last moment you were good. So where's the redemption part, George? Wouldn't it be more dramatic to actually forgive Vader/Anakin/Shaw? Whatever... PT has a lot more serious problems than that.

Thanks for saving me the trouble Pix

Don't know if that will work... the body is pretty restrictive and not particularly tall.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It's possible (notice I didn't say likely) that the only other body that might work will be the reworked Sideshow Vader body on ESB Vader.

That is, IF it's truly reworked.

It's ok. I got a good deal in trade for the TTM20 body.

 

[kl241]

That's ok. If it doesn't work for Vader then Thor gets it.

 

[King Darkness]

Yeah, I'll say it much to small for Vader. Its only as tall as a TT19, and only slighty bulkier.

But it works great for Thor.

 

[CaptnRex]

That Thor looks awesome.

 

[TheFiend]

All of the KD's stuff looks great for some reason.

 

[King Darkness]

Thanks sirs

So today I was digging around in my body bin and came across my spare HT Superman Reeve body and realized it would probably be perfect for Vader. Its as tall as the Kaustic/T-800 body, yet not nearly as bulky and with better articulation. To bad I'm to lazy to go through yet another Vader body conversion ...

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Got a picture of the Reeve body?
