Official Sideshow 1/6 ANH Darth Vader PHOTO Thread

[FLOSI]

Did you switch to a KP, Marc?

 

[pixletwin]

No. I like how it looks in a few pics. The way I like my Vader posed doesn't lend itself well to the KP. I tried readjusting Vader's belt/codpiece last night to make it ride lower but it still looked too stumpy.

I wonder if the new HT Muscular body would be a good option... it would add some poseability to the elbows.

yea wish the forearms bent up a bit more. i would so love to be able to pose his hands on his belt

though that might require another set of gloves.

 

[galactiboy]

Those gloves are at least shorter looking than the ANH ones... does kind of look like the proto for the new Vader will have that possibility.

This is what I want to know, but I don't want to be the first to buy one and have something major end up standing in the way of a successful body swap. Hate the headache of having to resell something.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sideshow's next Vader will hopefully solve the out-of-scale body issue while maintaining the poseability of the arms.

So if you want Vader's hands-on-belt, then maybe wait for that one.

The KP02 body swap had more to do with scaling Vader down to 1/6 in relation to other figures rather than giving him flexibility.

 

[King Darkness]

Looks better Marc, I'm glad the pics I took and the tutorial I made you went to good use

 

[pixletwin]

Thank you King No Pants. I suck.

I updated my Vader to a HT Noland, I like the height and build but I need to modify it a bit to work with the boots and hands from SS... I'll post pics a bit later today, but basically mine has:

-Noland Body
-Hasbro modded dome
-TonyMeis' cape and inner robe...

I think that's all I need for now...

if anybody is looking for a kp muscle body to do the swap pm me, i have an extra loose one with no hands or feet.

Awesome.
Looking forward to the pics!

Has anyone tried using the HT Arnie muzzle body for Vader?

This one --->

 

[galactiboy]

Haven't heard of it being used yet... but unless there are some unforeseen issues I'd think it would be a very good choice. It should be approximately the same size as the KP02; but with a thinner neck and increased articulation at the elbow and upper arm.

 

[pixletwin]

Cool. Well I just ordered one. I'll let y'all know how it works.

 

[galactiboy]

Sweet... very interested to see the results.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'm interested as well. I imagine it will be a wee bit better than the KP02. Doesn't that make you feel good?

If its more than wee, I might consider another swap.

 

[King Darkness]

You have no control when it comes to Darth Vader.

 

[Too Much Garlic]

The body is too small and the upper arms too short, but it can be used to make a nice looking Vader.

Did you port your Vader to one? Any pics?
