And a very helpful reference it is...PS

I just got my partial ANH Vader yesterday. I'm going to change the body to a KP02, are there any differences on the KP02B and KP02C bodies or are they exactly the same?

It's too bad SS didn't have this when they were designing their vaders. Even the Medi helmet sits better.

Vertically-tiled? I don't understand that chart.

 

[Thorne]

That's because they misspelled "tilted".

 

[anwe]

You're overthinking, I just look at the pictures.

I would guess he/she means slanted, is that a good english word? I found the picture via google, I have no idea if the person writing has english as a mother tounge. The picture was originally for The Prop Den, I guess many Vader aficionados hang out there.

Here is another picture:



Edit: Thorne is smarter than I am. I didn't even read it as tiled lower down, it says tilt in the fist paragraph.

Somewhere in these 723 pages it must have been posted...which Hasbro dome exactly is being used for the ANH Vader mods? I received my ANH Vader and love this piece...lowered the helmet some over the brow and it really improves the look, although I haven't messed with changing the rear angle yet. I'd like to try a Hasbro dome but don't know which model everyone's using...is the "Anakin to Vader", "12 inch Electronic Vader", "Ultimate Villain" ...? Thanks in advance. That's what I get for showing up late to the party.

The 12 inch electronic Vader and the Ultimate Villain Vader are the correct dome.

 

[anwe]

I don't have any hard facts, but since I just got mine which was a partial set and arrived only with the Hasbro dome I (speed) read the entire thread and the consensus seem to be that all the Hasbro Vaders, electronic, ultimate and Kenobi 2-pack or whatever have the same dome. The one to avoid is the Anakin to Vader since that one has a smaller dome. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

BTW us smarter guys has it set so there are only 181 pages, not that it makes it any easier to locate posts..

Edit: Too slow on the typing again.

Vader and maul 2pk not Vader obi wan, you'll be in for a surprise if you get that

Thanks everyone...I wound up ordering a 12" electronic Vader for the dome, didn't cost much so I'll give it a shot.

I lowered the stock helmet on mine and it looked okay, but after I dremeled out the back ridge on the interior of the helmet...it was like magic. The angle and depth changed and the figure looks really outstanding now. I'm going to try a Hasbro helmet to see if it makes a big difference to my eyes.

At any rate...except for the lack of ankle articulation, I like everything about this model better than the ESB version, due to nostalgia and personal taste, mostly. The ankles aren't a big deal as I really only need him to stand around looming over stormtroopers.

Great pics darksith72. Great collection, too.

Very cool picture, looks like the Imperials are in a hall due to the mirror there.

What does the emperor hold in his hand? Is he a believer in pyramid power?

no, it is the Sith holocron that comes from palpatine / sidious box!

 

[ZE_501]

The 12 inch electronic Vader and the Ultimate Villain Vader are the correct dome.

Thanks, I got the 12 inch electronic Vader dome and after short work...wowed again. It was almost a tough call, because when adjusted properly the stock dome actually looks fantastic, but I think the forward view is best served by the Hasbro dome.

I got into 1/6 solely for stormtroopers, but displaying them with ANH Vader really sets it all off.

I'll post photos at some point, I think I'll get a custom cape first to finish it off.

Hi guys,

I have a quick question about the dome mod.

I have an old Hasbro Electronic Vader so that means I have the dome to use for the Sideshow Vader.

I tried just before to pull the Sideshow dome off but it looks like its stuck on there pretty well.

How easy is it meant to be to take the dome off the Sideshow Vader?

Also I have read on here that you have to dremel the prongs that are on the inside of the Hasbro dome so it fits on the Sideshow Vaders head.

I don't have a dremel and I've heard they are pretty expensive. Is there a cheaper alternative I can use to remove the prongs inside the dome and smooth it out like the dremel does?

I'm a bit of a noob with customizing so thought I would ask here as this place seems to be the best on the internet for advice from what I have been told.

Cheers.

Well, the Vader helmet isnt MEANT to be easy to take off. Its a supposed to be permanent and Its affixed with glue. What you need to do is take a firm grip of the dome and wiggle or rock back and forth until you hear the glue underneath crack. It may take a little time so be patient.
Good luck.
