I think i might heat up the codpiece and try to expand it more..maybe boil or use a hair dyer,might work.

I'm pretty excited for this figure, mine arrived last week but it went to my house so I get to open it Friday.

I took off the elastic holding the cod back. So with no elastic you can pull it forward giving it a bigger buldge.

 

[Valfar]

Yea, but, i am going to try and flatten it out more like how it looked on screen, my medicom figure looks like this..more accurate..i wonder if the abdomen armor shell was all one piece with the cod?...i think it was.

Medis are a one piece. If you do do it, let us know how it turned out. Would definately look better with a bigger cod.

The only proportion that might be off is the size of the feet, other than that, from the ankles up is nicely proportioned I think.

I feel so too. They shouldn't be this small.

 

[Memnoch]

Accuracy be damned, these are my favorite Star Wars figures to date. I was playing around with two that I have out (regular and exclusive) and you can get some really good poses out of these you just have to be aware of where the joints are and take your time. And the one Im having the most fun with hasn't even been modded yet. I go into these expecting fun figures/toys and rarely am I let down but I am really pumped now for Vader. I might pick up quite a few more of these guys.

 

[MANDO]

Damn, you guys are making me want to keep these! And with Vader around the bend it's going to be even harder!!!

 

[Valfar]

Hey, or you could try and track down some Medicom Stormtroopers..they will look nice and small next to the SSC Vader when he comes out right?.

 

[pixletwin]

.. and even smaller next Old Ben and Luke.

Why? The SS Stormies are already going to be shorter than the SS Vader.

That ain't happening. The plastic is like model car plastic, it will melt before it expands.

 

[Dally]

The Medicoms will look like Jawas next to Vader.

Oh no? so, how are people bending their chest plates then?, if you can heat it to bend..then i can heat the jock up and flip it out possibly..its worth a shot..maybe boil it. lol.

Ok. I have the pics of my gutted Sideshow Trooper helmet:

Here is the HT headsculpt I have under the helm:

There are still some rough edges I need to smooth out but on the whole I think it worked out pretty well.

 

[sewbacca]

looks pretty good.

 

[jkno]

The stormie looks really good Pix.

Bend yes. Expand, well, I'd buy a extra part to try it on.

You've hollowed the helmet but haven't fixed the chest armor

That was a pre-futz pic (I actually took that pic last week you can see in the last pic the chest armor fits better)
