Nope.
Spare body? The batteries for it and the remote are the largest and easiest to install. The Lightsaber ones are the next size and still no issue. The only nightmare ones are for the belt boxes...

After shipping from SSC on Dec. 23, mine is slated to finally arrive on Monday.
I'm ready to get all frustrated with him outta da box. I'm starting to prepare myself mentally. Thanks to tips from all you guys who have him already I feel I at least know what to look out for with battery installation, keeping the voice function from going into stand-by mode, how to adjust the crotch pad, putting the belt boxes closer to the buckle, and wire removal in the tunic.
Anything else I'm missing?

Are those the actual sizes of Hot Toys sabers? WOW... they look really tiny.
Exact same issue on mine last night. Looks identical in damage
Just to play devil's advocate for a moment... no one has actually bought this for the sound feature, have they? And everyone would pay the same for a Vader with no sounds. So you could view the defective electronics as a free bonus...
Invictus Sol
No Life in the Void
Yep, that's how I look at it. Just not a feature I'm interested in and haven't bothered testing on my RoboCop or ED-209, either.

i think people are saying issues to sum up both the poor design (ie access to the switch) and the resetting needed to activate it in some cases; and maybe the difficulty in moving the belt boxes. But yeah, only one of these would seem to be a QC issue.

My opinion is that the engineering effort to incorporate the sound into the body is a waste of time and added expense, it should of been a case of if ht was to insist on sound (as apparently it was) they should have put it into a stand/base. In the end probably would have been cheaper for them but still let them charge the premium for this figure that they are.
But on the other hand..........what the **** do I know?

Looks like I have the perfect solution for some of you:
Star Wars Darth Vader Sixth Scale Figure by Sideshow Collect | Sideshow Collectibles
There you go, and its $71 cheaper. And has a kick ass glow-in-the-dark paint job for that lightsaber beam!

I doubt it added much cost as they already did the R&D on previous figures. But also, I don't know either
