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

[matrix69]

Great shot!
I love your esb vader, and the kayiodo chest armour looks great on your anh vader. I' m waiting for a kayiodo chest armour and your picture remember me that I need it. I really need it. Great vaders indeed!

Wise words.





Beautiful. And very interesting to see them all lined up.

I still like the 3rd best (HT ANH w- RO gloves but I know you did a lot of work on it).

Poor SS Deluxe pin-head Anakin... looking forward to the eventual HT version for sure. Hope they just go swap-out head and avoid the pin-head or over-sized mask.

...yeah excited to see what HT come up with for TESB version..

I really like AnH Darth. But I'm also struggling with getting him or the Han and Chewie set. Ugh. So many figures not enough cash. This would be my first foray into SW HT

 

[SilverStar17]

I'd go with Vader. More of an iconic SW character, in my opinion.

 

[FlyAndFight]

If "A New Hope" Han & Chewie are what you are after, then I say get the dynamic duo first. There's always going to be Vaders being released.

Good point. I'd consider him the Iron Man for HT of the SW universe.

Man, BBTS still had this in stock last week, now it's sold out. What's the consensus on ordering from Hong Kong? Is it pretty safe? Are these all original pieces or is there any danger of knock offs? Any other U.S. retailers that still have this in stock?

 

[SilverStar17]

You should be safe ordering from HK.

 

[Darth Fok]

I love the classic ANH look

 

[Perceptor]

I ended up getting Vader . My first HT SW figure. I love it.

 

[Marvelito]

Cool, where did you get it from?

 

[Perceptor]

My local comic shop. Still had one brand new one left at close to retail. Can't have a Star Wars without Darth lol

 

[Marvelito]

Nice, congrats!

 

[SilverStar17]

Vader is always a good starting point when starting a SW collection.

Some shots of mine

Anyone know if it's safe to iron the cape? Mine is pretty wrinkled but I didn't want to try ironing it and have it melt!

Have you considered water treating it? Worked like a charm on mine.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

The wrinkles came out with the water treatment? Interesting. I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

Yeah I just dunked it in some warm water making sure it 'soaked' in then hung it up overnight to dry.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Thanks again!

 

[jffhdgs345]

I'm gonna do the water treatment on mine too. I did it on Kylo and it looks amazing.
