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

[TonTon]

I wonder if the stand will have a display option to give the illusion the interrogator droid can float or possibly have a separate stand.

Good call. That'd be sweet.

eh looks like another vader tbh, coming from hot toys i kinda expected those guys to come up with a wearable/removable face mask that conceals a nicely sculpted head, seeing as heads are hot toys specialty,

happy with my SS RoTJ one for the time being anyway.

Why would you expect removable face mask for a Star Wars Vader?

 

[shocktrooper_au]

That's probably the real reason it's considered ANH ie non remove able helm

I might be the only one, but I think it'd be kinda cool to have a David Prowse head under the mask. To kind of give it more of that true movie costume feel.

I know I was bummed when I opened my C-3PO set and... no Anthony Daniels sculpt

Whenever I take the rubbish out and open the dustbin I always feel a tinge of sadness that Kenny Baker isn't inside.

Would be a bit of an anti-climax for Jar-Jar Binks.... lift off the head and get a green screen mask..

Am I the only one that's not liking the stands for these figures? I like the stand SS's Vader comes with but this one is just so bland compared to it. They all are pretty bland.

 

[Asta]

I wish all figures just came with the simple oval stands. They're a lot neater than all the DX and fancy versions.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

The torso is way too long. All the space between chest armor and chest box and between the chest box and belt should pretty much be removed.

Well, if the stands were steel grey, they would appear to resemble the grill floors many sets had in the movies. Only, the HT grills are oriented the wrong way.

Sure, this is ESB... but you get the picture.

 

[shocktrooper_au]

I think the red grills are in the cell block in ANH

 

[DiFabio]

You know someone will be offering red lenses.

I'm not a mod guy/customizer, but if you wanted to achieve that dusty look, couldn't you apply talcum powder and seal it somehow?

Let it sit on the shelf for a month or two and don't dust it, problem solved.

Has anybody else noticed that despite everybody posing vader with the wide led stance he more often then not stands with his legs rather close together unless in a fight pose, I think it's key when posing to do the same to achieve the proper look

Absolutely, agreed.

These Death Star floor bases while a novel idea, don't really grab me to be honest.

Simple black stands for me please.

But that's so...lo-fi.

The same here. Classic black stands are the best, and go well in the collection too.

Yep... You are correct, everyone wants Vader to be in action poses. He is a stoic, looming, big imposing character. This affects the way he appears greatly.

I'm not in love with the red grill flooring bases but I am glad that Hot Toys is doing something other than the typical black oval stands. To me those get kind of boring to look at. People who want those instead could always buy some blank ones for their figures to use if they don't like what Hot Toys is including. I just wish there was a bit more variety to the stands and they weren't all the same.

I'm liking how 3Zero handles this. No stands. Maybe Hot Toys can follow suit. Just drop prices $50 to make up for it. Wishful thinking.
