Saw this cool mash up of this Vader and Reva with Padmen AOTC sculpt on Instagram as well. Thought it looks pretty cool as an elseworlds/what if situation

Someone beat you to that... I think that pic was already posted a few pages back... Or in another thread.

Still cool though.

Ahh sorry I'll edit my post then. Thought I was staying on top of this thread pretty well but guess not

No just leave it for those that missed it..

Looking back I don't see it. Maybe it was posted in the Naboo Padme thread...

Yeah, looking back it was posted in the Padme thread on March 15th... You should put it back up. Don't listen to me...

Im relatively new to 1/6th collecting and thought it was just me not knowing what I was doing having so much trouble getting hands to click completely! Now I know it's not me and just an overall design flaw for these figures. Oh how I wish they would use magnets or something, anything other than these damn pegs!
I have found letting the hand sit in some hot water (or even just running it under a hot tap) helps a lot. My Vader hasn't arrived yet so I dont know if this will be the solution for the more difficult figures but worth a try!

Set the peg straight in the center and then gently rotate the hand back and forth while providing a slight push.

It's best to take off the helmet/head and lightsaber blade so you can have a good grip on the arm to stabilize it and not have to worry about anything falling off or damaging.

It's a pain in the neck at times but I found that to be the easiest way to go about it.

I appreciate the help! I managed to do it. I had to widen the hand peg hole with a screwdriver ever so slightly, but we got there.

Vader came in today (UK). He is a beast. Great service as always Kit.

Here’s here, and he’s glorious.

Time for yet another Vader set of pics. Having all HT Vaders this definitely is the best 1/6 version with the 1/4 being the best Vader they’ve made. Having said that, I’ve combined the ANH cape, ANH cod piece and put his tunics over his armor. Here’s my display and head canon. He’s a great figure and feels hefty and durable. Bravo HT!

That looks great. If you don't mind providing a full body photo please. Also was it difficult removing and re dressing the robes over the armor. I received my HT OBW Vader last week. Thank you.

Easy to put robes over armor. Just pulled it out enough to remover and slide them over. Here’s a couple more. Thanks!

I really like the robe over armor look

I mean it should be this way since this is prior to R1 and ANH.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Well, Vader had to go home and get another helmet and completely redress... that, plus its 10 years before R1.

Looks great with the different codpiece - a really incredible looking figure.

Thank you very much for the picture.

Does anyone else have a problem with the battle damaged head popping on to the body? The clean helmet pops on and off solidly. My damaged helmet, I have to push hard and it still doesn't "pop" on. Its like the peg in the bd helmet is shorter

 

[rayeknor]

I know the clean helmet has a double ball joint while the damaged has not

 

[aksimpson123]

Just opened to have a quick look. My first ever Vader figure. Have to say I totally underestimated the articulation. Especially with the pleather I’m naturally scared to push the joints. Looking forward to getting to know this piece and see what I can do with it over the next few days. Left it in a simple pose for now. Overall a stunning piece with massive presence!
