Nice figures, Hurricane. I hope, in the near future when SS announces its own 12" DV, they look as good as yours!:monkey5

[hairlesswookiee]

yeah very nice indeed. ive seen a lot of your work on ebay, but couldnt afford any of them.

Very, very cool! Those look wonderful, I would highly doubt that the SS 12" will light up; you have a leg up in that category. :cool:

[TOE]

awesome custom Huricanne. is the lightsaber wireless?? one thing, I think the nose of the outmost mask should be black.

[Customikey]

This man is a Darth vader makin' god.

I'd love to get one of these things in my hands. I learned a lot from the Sovereign Studios Indiana Jones, I imagine Hurrican'es Vaders show a lot of innovations as well.

[hurricane]

thanx guys, btw, the nose on ALL versions of vader is silver....

[Shai Hulud]

early ROTS versionhttp://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d93/hurricane1002/6b900c08.jpg




I really, really love that pic..This is how Vader must have look under his mask when he force-chokked someone.. He looks evil using the Dark side..great pic !!!

[TOE]

thanx guys, btw, the nose on ALL versions of vader is silver....

for some reason i thought it was black...thanks. Agree with Shai, great custom. If you don't mind me asking...how much do you charge?

[hurricane]

dont mind at all drop me a pm, but it all depends on the options you choose...

Of course, my Vader seems to keep better company...PS

[hurricane]

love it, something about the face mask, just looks so cool, i like his friends too:rotfl

[Darth Madden]

Awsome job.. but how funny is it to see Darth Vader, the Dark Lord of the Sith, standing on a kitchen table... with trees on it. :D

great work man, really great work. how much does your work usually go for on ebay?

[Customikey]

great work man, really great work. how much does your work usually go for on ebay?


I've seen Hurricane's Vaders go up for $300. With all the work he puts into them, I imagine they are well worth it. Someone needs to put Hurricane's Vader next to that custom Anakin that's been flitting about the net.

[pixletwin]

I am jaw dropping in love with your ROTS/ROTJ reveal Vaders... Absolutely in love! :vader :love :vader

[hurricane]

Umm not sure how to say this without sounding like a prat, one or two i let go cheap just to make ends meet, building is fun, i must have some sort of passion do do them repeatably but i do get fed up with the sight of him/them.

[Customikey]

Umm not sure how to say this without sounding like a prat, $300? try £350 GBP...one or two i let go cheap just tom make ends meet, most went for the above amount, building is fun, i must have some sort of passion do do them repeatably but i do get fed up with the sight of him/them.



.....Prat

:D

[hurricane]

yep, guess i asked for that:rolleyes:

[Badism]

I would love to see pics of your Vader (masterpiece!) with SSC Luke and Anakin. If you get the time. :D

[figuremaster_les]

Nice to be able to say what I think out in the open Hurricane.
Your Vaders are always THE BEST!

Keep it up and keep raising that bar.

Also, love the pic of you in costume. I should have known. :D

[Brent72]

Wow, the only thing cooler than one of Hurricane's 1/6 scale custom Vader figures is his actual life-size Vader costume. :monkey5

By the way, I'll be sending you a PM sometime in the very near future about possibly doing one of these great figures for me. :cool:

[hurricane]

Hi, heres the latest Vader off the line, not quite finished but i took some pics for the owner,usual stuff, hasbro talky vader torso,with swivel waist,new arms,improved legs,ankle joints.Hasbro retailored body suit,hand made capes (look a bit short need to be left for a while to hang properly) bendy hands/leatherette gaunlets,second set of fixed hands with plug -in cold cathode lit saber (I have sorted these cathode tubes to be both cordless and in body powered, but the owner wanted this one to be mains driven)Light up belt boxes ,chest box etc etc...The owner wanted the 'burnt Anakin' head fitted , so it is on a ball joint.Hand made metal reveal gutts etc. these vaders dwarf the medicom ones, they stand 13.5 inches tall.

[buffy-collector]

Amazing Vader,The detail is amazing.

[Cowboy]

Man those are awesome customs!! Where can you get the light up saber's???

[dekadentdave]

Cowboy, the sabers are made with a Cold Cathode light and inserted into the hilts. Go to coolerguys.com and buy some 6-inch tubes. I converted all of my sabers to cathodes and they look EXACTLY like they do in the films. Best custom upgrade I ever made. :lsvader

[figuremaster_les]

I've got to try to do that sometime. I am not that good at electrical stuff. But it does look great!
Hurricane, your Vaders are, as always, ASTOUNDING!

[DD_fan96]

wow, those are amazing. You are truly talented.

[hurricane]

1/6 vader, no lights no sounds, uses hybrid hasbro 14" vader body with new arms,improved legs,pelvic articulation (ball jointed) aditional upper chest articulation, screen accurate smaller belt boxes,etc.http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d93/hurricane1002/DSCF0016-1.jpg

I'm stuck on my Gauntlets ATM.

Can you suggest a source for Vader hands that don't look like spades?

Beautiful Vader Hurricane!
As always. :D

Great work, Hurricane! Vader looks great!!:D :chew

In total envy...
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..........." :lol

Sock it to us Hurc!

Wait! Let me assume the position: :drool

[hurricane]

well, just about done, ESB vader isnt massively different from ROTJ,the only major diference is where the helmet splits,(and some other small details,additional silver switch on chest box,diferent shape rocker switches,sharper edge where mouth screen meets chin area,...) you only see vader unmasked momentarily in ESB and then only from behind,the mask splits above the two side 'rails' instead of between them as in ROTJ,more pics when i have time,.....http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d93/hurricane1002/DSCF0044-1.jpg

[twistedfreak]

HOLY CRAP DUDE! These Vaders are awesome! I don't know anyone else that has produced as many perfect Vaders as you! And there's a dang lot of talent on here. You do Vaders exclusively I take it?

[Customikey]

My God.....

It's amazing how you keep on making these Vaders and they just get better and better. I've seen so many variations just from you, I think you must be able to make these without reference at this point!

Remarkable. Just remarkable. :bow:drool

[Darren Carnall]

...your work is just so average, I don't even know why you bother carrying on :rolleyes:

[Customikey]

...your work is just so average, I don't even know why you bother carrying on :rolleyes:


I agree. Perhaps you should just send your Vaders to us so you won't have to embarrass yourself with them anymore. :lol

[figuremaster_les]

Yeah Hurc...
Your're really losing your style man. :lol

Amazing as always buddy. Still the best!:maul

[hurricane]

Thanx guys....I hoped Id not have to make many more but with SSc saying no armored figures for a while.....anyway,next one due is a 'special' ROTJ for the marvel comics artist Mark Brooks...in the mean time some more pics of the ESB vader.http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d93/hurricane1002/DSCF0054.jpg

Do you have a website or some pic's of your work in progress? What body are you using? I have a Hasbro talking Vader but you can't mod that can you? Your customs are off the hook!! I just wish you showed WIP pictures!!

[EVILFACE]

Nice. That Vader blows everyone else's away.

[Badism]

Well, I'm taking the plunge and having the man make me one of these masterpieces. An ESB version with all the bells and whistles.

I can't wait to get my hands on this thing. I plan on buying some sort of protective case for him.

I of course will take pictures when he arrives to make you all very, very jealous. :monkey5 :monkey3

[Darth Steff-Han]

What is the solution to have a lighting light saber ???

[killphil]

1st time poster here. Love your work, Hurricane. That's the Vader figure I've always dreamed of. Then I see this thread and all your excellent pieces and that your doing commissions!

I want one of these.

I sent you a PM. Hope we can work something out....

Very nice Vader!!

If I may share my personal opinion, that ANH Vader is the most beautiful 1:6 Vader I have ever seen. Absolutely stunning in every way. THAT'S HOW A VADER OUGHT TO BE!!!!!!

Absolutely perfect. Thank you for letting us see these!

I never thought I'd say something like this, but... that Vader looks too tall. He looks like he's standing next to Luke in a Stormtrooper disguise.
Great work nevertheless.

he is 'bigger and taller' than a standard vader,but its what the customer wanted, here he is back to back with a normal one, which is correct height for 1/6 scalehttp://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d93/hurricane1002/DSCF0053-1.jpg

Needless to say, Glenn, those two Vaders are absolutely incredible!
But that first one, the Empire looking one, is by far, one of your best ever efforts. That first shot could be a shot of Prowse in the suit, ready for his on-set cue!

What an amazing set! Whoever is getting either of those, is one lucky dude!
GREAT works! Just superb!

There is a reason you are the best. These are solid testimonials for you.
Just tremendous.

[Xander]

I can never keep my draw from dropping when I look at these! They look like men in costumes, real props and the works. Just can't get over it! They're amazing!

I thought you might be messing with me.

"IDK where he got it"

I'm not too saavy with acroynms. I thought IDK was a company!


Anyway that Vader is stunning! I bet it looks even better in person.

[killphil]

Don't have it yet. He's working on the saber now. I declined the electronics and opted instead for a SSC Maul blade in a Vader hilt.

I know, I know...Sacriledge! Blasphemy!

I'd love to have the light up saber and all, but then I'd want all my SSC Jedi's to have matching sabers, and that would just be too costly.

Decided on consistency instead. It will still be exceptional, regardless....

Thanks for the welcome. I've been registered for some time, but never really posted.

Your Vader looks real nice. I'll never understand where you all find these parts. Do you make them yourselves or are their parts out their to kitbash?

Looks nice, though. I'll be sure to keep checking back to see the progress.

[hurricane]

that looks superb!

Is that the Hasbro helmet?

nope, i only use original kaiyodo model masks/helmets,or with the ROTS version genuine kotobukiya statue helmets,the dome on this one is the hasbro one,slightly reshaped.

What an excellent question.

[hurricane]

What an excellent question.

repainted first generation hasbro burnt whinger head,recasts used for the ROTS versions as they are just a tiny bit smaller

[lerath666]

Odd question Hurricane, but this seems the best place to ask as the costumes are VERY simular. Have you ever done a luke skywalker from dark empire, as the character design looks like he raided his father's old wardrobe?....

And If you haven't can I talk to you about a commission?


And if this is the wrong place to ask this, I'm appologising in advance.

That would truly be one hell of a custom Hurc! Go for it!
Hope we see that one as it builds!

[Rogue Trooper]

Dark Empire Luke such a cool and evil luke,like his father. The comic has the coolest imperial officer outfit design, real nazi like.

that pic looks so real it's scary... just looks like Vader from the films. :bow

Here's the custom Vader I did about 8 years ago. I made a total of 3 of them and they all ended up selling to people in Japan. I remember getting tons of emails from Malaysia and the Philippians from people asking for the figure recipe (which I never revealed....but is now the common Kaiyodo/Electronic Hasbro conversion). Forgive me for the crappy photos I took back then with a crappy dig. camera. Just thought it might be interesting for people to see an 'old' custom Vader. He stood around 14 inches tall.

Here is my custom Vader from the master himself.... Looks phenomenal, I cannot wait to have it next to my Evil Obi Wan! I still can't believe I will finally have one of Glenn's Vaders. It was a long time coming... and worth every damn second. :rock

glad your pleased mate

'parts bin Vader' cough cough, consists of san older body i built, hybrid hasbro standard bod/talky vader body/dragon/marmit.Hand sewn body suit,multiple hands fitting the sideshow pegs, including pointy finger,clenched fists,force push etc etc, will get a cathode saber when ive time to go with SSc OT Ben,
Tried to replicate the props with this down to the chips and uneveness of the upper armor, which in ANH was brush painted...chest box is a cast of the kaiyodo one, totally reworked to match ANH, belt boxes are genuine kaiyodo and have the correct red washers on the six buttons,belts leatherette.Helmets a casted kit one of mine,no reveal ,no removable dome,be no point as in ANH the prop wasnt too pretty under the dome.Some quirks on the ANH version are the fact that the two tone paint differs from ESB and ROTJ with the left hand cheek rail being gunmetal instead of black ,also smaller chin vent, and one tusk is black.Dome is hasbro shortened in the back and the widows peak added,the ANH should have a slimmer central ridge but i havent got that far yet.Cape is hand made and lined, needs to settle to loose its bulkyness, and i may water treat it.I recently received a gift of a .45 scale ANH hilt, im gonna use this, as its easier than my full size one ,to take measurements from and machne a master for casting from.All finishes are dusted(??) or semi gloss .

Bwaynes ESB vader, full spec 'cept speach, this one took along time as it was built during alot of transistions in how i made them,use of the sideshow body crossed with the hasbro talky vader body, new sharper brow detailing, fully revised internal detailing,new saber hand which detachs allowing the use of other preposed hands.http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d93/hurricane1002/DSCF0851.jpg

I can't wait. I am like a kid at Christmas, only I am 28 and should know better. :rolleyes: Great work!

[paulcarson]

Now that's IMPRESSIVE ! I love the matt look of the helmet. It looks right to me and I know the ANH Vader costume like the back of my hand. Hope to see some shots of him in a duel with old Obi Wan soon !

[Lord Vicious]

Damn Glenn, you've shown again why you are the 1/6 Vader-master :monkey5

[Les Walker]

Even your oldies are better than most of us are capable of...:bow

Look for an email from me Glenn. :cool:
