1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 279 - Star Wars Episode IV: 1/6th scale Darth Vader

[Space Jockey]

What stand does the Interrogator Droid come with? I've seen the flimsy vacu-formed one, but seem to remember a post earlier by another member saying there was a better stand for the droid taped and hidden under the black tray?

So is Sidehshow shipping yet? I decided to get it with my RP

I preordered him back in august, he is shipping today.

 

[The Green Goblin]

Just had them charge me for the figure in the morning. Should have him tomorrow afternoon if he ships today!

 

[blue devils]

Still shows preorder on there site. So is it in stock or not?

The flimsy one is what is taped to the underside of the tray.

 

[Creighton]

I didnt even unpack that flimsy stand.
I contemplated buying an additional red Stormie stand for the droid but thought..really.."how often does Vader have that black basketball hovering around him?"

Gave the right troop an E-11 blaster and switched the left troop's hands so he isn't aiming his gun at Vader's back.

That is an awesome pic.

Such a mixed bag. Excellent figure, but there are parts of him that Sideshow achieved higher marks, in my opinion. He's a lot of fun, for sure.

However, I wish both companies would steal a page from Medicom, regarding the lightsaber....

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Yep, definitely a mixed bag like rubio mentioned. Honestly, I opened him up and my first thought was "This isn't $150 better than my modified ANH Sideshow" and I put him back in the box and moved on to Luke which arrived today too.

After I decided to put the batteries in and play with the poorly designed sound function I started to appreciate him more. The gloves are a nonissue for me. I actually like the articulation that comes from that design.

Anyways, here's a pic right after I got his clothes and gear back on. Looks good with Obi.

mine was supposed to ship 3 days ago...

I can see Vader's "angry eyebrows" in your pic, Coco. I love it.


So do you like him now or what?

 

[airborn007]

I like Vader looks best w/ his cape covering his arms up. I can't stand posing him and exposing the arms which should of had a more tighter fit to them. I don't even want to mention about how much I dislike his boots. His mask and cape are my best feature on this figure.

So do you like him now or what?

Yeah, I do. Mostly because of the articulated gloved hands, nicer helmet and over all scale is better than SS's.

Had I been able to walk into my toy room, push the remote button and hear my buddy's sweet, sweet voice anytime, everytime then I would have been over the moon. Such a stupid design flaw that ruins a really cool bonus.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, the electronics are aggravating. I hope the ESB version has a button rather than switch to solve the "I can't find it" problem.

But its a stellar figure beyond that. The mask alone is a piece of art.

 

[Matt S]

The electronics in the back are annoying....the lightsaber one is pretty easy to reach. Got mine from Sideshow last week, so this guy is shipping in waves...

You guys are making me want Obi now

You must do what you feel is right, of course.

I have a spare Vader body I will be disassembling to determine how feasible it will be to mount the electronics neatly in the stand. The sound feature is actually very nice and I want to attempt to salvage it. If it's workable, I'll post details.
