Hot Toys Rogue One Vader MMS388

What's the body used for this Vader?

Dave Prowse's physique around the same time a new hope was filmed.




He wasn't as big as people seem to imagine he was.

Well, not Arnold size maybe but he was still more muscular than 95% of the male population. He’s also very tall which make his mass not look as large as if he’d been three heads shorter. Still though, costume did fit him much better than RO cast and Hayden.

The Prowse paunch right there. You can see how he filled out that belt area.

Few shots of what?s still my favorite figure in the collection

Looks great. The simplest poses with Vader to me are the most effective.

No problem.

Really like the RO Vader! I have my SS/HT mixture that I enjoy still and I?m
Eagerly awaiting the 1/4 scale.

Finally got one.
It's very puny in hands so I did a body swap right away with a Zod body.
The original body is the Reeves supes body with wider shoulders and longer ankles, overall weird and skinny.
ANH and ESB have a MOS supes body, wonder why that gave a smaller body to RO, especially since he's beefier in the movie.

He looks much better with bigger arms and legs but man that head is freaking big.
I know it might be accurate because it's supposed to be an actual helmet but I'm looking for something that looks cool to eyes, proportionate too.
Even with the body swap it shows.
So I wonder if all hot toys helmets are that big?
Is there another slightly smaller helmet?

how much do they sell for these days? The ones on ebay are like 500$

Check eBay sold listings, that's about as accurate as you can get typically.

Working on a new display shelf that will have my "Top 10" and each will have a "theme". Just finished up my forth theme. Which was a Bespin/Carbon Freezing Chamber theme for my Vader.

Swapped out the Sideshow Environment for the base that came with the 1:6 Han in Carbonite. I feel this is more fitting.

FINALLY just got this guy for $500. Best deal I had seen and once I saw him in the store in hand I had to pull the trigger. So upset I missed out when he was originally released.

How is the material with keeping his arms bent over time? I've got him in a museum post for now since I'm afraid to damage him after paying that much.

Lit him up today with my lights and he looks incredible.

That's an awesome picture! Mine seems to be doing fine, I have his arms bent with the hands on the waist style pose.
