S.H. Figuarts Star Wars

[The acient one]

They sure improved the ANH Obi-Wan! The hood connection points are seem less now and the face looks incredible.

He’s looking great. Once I get Old Ben and the Han reissue, I just need them to finally make the Princess, and I’ll be well happy.

Alright. Finally got some time to play with my toys last night. Yessss. (At the mother in law's haha). I recently made a trade with CJESIM and got 3 of his incredible softwoods. Vader, Maul, and Palps. Holy. Cow. These are unreal. I'm going to mess with Maul on the speeder tonight, hopefully. I wanted the robe for that, but I'm loving him posed like this without the speeder ughhhhh.

And this Vader. Wow. I seriously love this figure. I was not looking forward to it, but it seems like the cape is what really drags the figure down. The helmet looks great if you just tilt it up. Not to mention, this is the easiest and most fun Vader to pose I've ever messed with. Sure BS has the perfectly accurate helmet scan, and Mafex seems to have that just right Vader feel. But I think this SHF with softgoods may be my ultimate Vader. Call me crazy!

Damn you had me excited that this was figurarts 2.0 then I realized it was BS Anniversary Vader

Nice custom though

 

[GodParticle]

Uh, that isn't BS vader

 

[Star-Crunch]

That Vader looks incredible! Awesome job

That’s SHF Vader 2.0. The helmet looks killer if you just tilt it up.

That Vader looks so good at that angle. Sort of makes sense as you probably don't see him from above in the films. What's involved in modding in those capes?

Also, Old Ben seems to have improved, his beard looks to be a better colour which makes a huge difference. [emoji41]

Once you pull Vader apart at the waist, his belt is tacked on with a little glue on small tabs. You need to at least break off the back inside tab to allow for the fabric to slide through freely. The 2 plastic skirt pieces at just held on with a few pegs/tabs and pull off easily. It’s a very quick and painless swap. The only painful part is probably initially shelling out the cash for the softgoods lol. Even though I traded for these, he has me hooked now.

$50 US is a lot of moolah for a tiny piece of cloth. I don't know if I could justify that! After all, that's about the same price as the actual figure lol.

Oh come on, I feel like we could justify anything if we try hard enough.

Lol exactly. Plus, it's *2 small pieces of extremely well tailored and wired cloth...

Thank you guys! It's crazy how much better the figure and helmet look with some really nice softgoods added!

Hi, I’m not sure if anyone is interested in doing this, haven’t seen anyone try it yet. I wanted to get a ROTJ version of Vader that was just as tall and used the (less billowy) skirt pieces of the New hope Vader so I swapped out some pieces.

I took the upper torso (minus the neck) from ROTJ Vader and put it with the lower torso, legs, head and neck of the ANH Vader and it fit together pretty we'll, I think I'm definitely going to get a second New Hope version and use this as my permanent ROTJ Vader.




Extra images

Spoiler

The matte finish on the ROTJ Vaders robe matches the finish on the ANH version really we'll.


Without the cape he's head looks really big though. I tried it with the ROTJ head on but once you put the cape on then he's head ends up looking really tiny.
