Just got mine in the mail today and boy and I satisfied. He was definitely one of my favorite character in the PT. So much better looking in person than in the pictures and videos. I love how soft his cloak. Head sculpt is just as good as Grand Moff Tarkin in my opinion which is pretty much perfect. Glad I didn't pass up on him cause I was skeptical up until his release.

Got mine today also. Gave the robe a soak in warm water, rinsed it out with cold, and letting it dry. Until Obi-Wan arrived and Ani has some better to do, lol, I plan on keeping him hooded with robe, so I guess I can see if any staining issues occur.

Still haven’t received mine yet, as I’m still flexing.

Where TH in BBTS on this? Let the choir sing...

Has everyone who’s ordered at SS started to get theirs or got a processing notice? (Unless you’re on flex of course)

Yeah. I got him a couple weeks ago.

Some of the new muscular type of TT lack bicep swivel which lets the figure do that arms crossed or folded look

If you have a figure that has a removable outfit..I would strip it down to the TT, sometimes in mass production they don't fit the clothes on properly because they have so many to fit .

Ex. My RO Vader was so stiff out of the box I thought it wasn’t a traditional TT underneath because a lot of articulation was restricted, so I removed the cape and realized the bodysuit was attached crooked , so as removing piece by piece I noticed the arms were stiff because one part of the armpit was misaligned and creased , so I smoothed it out. the cod piece was attached to high, etc, etc, .

Once I removed everything I refitted everything back the way I thought it should be and eureka, not only did the articulation flow more easier and naturally I noticed the figure itself look more realistic IMO because every piece of clothing was now balanced out.

Out of the box



After stripped and refitted

Wow, that Vader looks amazing after your refit! You certainly are much braver than I though; I'm not sure I trust myself to strip the figure to see what the issue is as I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get it back together again just right, especially with the risk, as you pointed out, that it just might be the TT components not allowing for dynamic poses though.

But damn if that Vader isn't convincing me to do otherwise!

Mine arrived yesterday. More to come after I crack the box open.

Just pucked mine up, what a great figure, good amount of options, and the tailoring is great, sith heqd would have sent me over the moon but oh well, Onesixthkit will do one eventually

 

[drjedisith]

love this figure! but not a fan of the cloak. its fine in an action pose but not in a museum. there is were you see the short boxy appearance. anyways, heres mine with a sieshow cloak. so many possibilities

Re: Hot Toys Episode 3 Anakin

Hey that SS cloak doesn’t look half bad... I kind of like it better. It’s water treated, right?

 

[drjedisith]

Thanks man. No water. Just my jedi thumbs

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Nice looking Anakin. Great work with those toe thumbs, Doc!

 

[loki2371]

Maybe my 2 SS Anakin's (that are still nib) aren't worthless after all!!!

Yes they are still worth it.

I'll be trying this today as well, with my Anakin and Obi-Wan robes.

 

[Creighton]

I just opened mine for inspection only.

Question - I got one glue glob on the inside of the robe hem. is it worth making a fuss about?

Re: Hot Toys Episode 3 Anakin

The old SS robe is rather nice on the HT. It's the right length and I personally find the hood easier to shape.
