Codpiece is much too high.

Great pose, but yeah, the cod piece could be lowered a bit.

My ANH MMS 279 Vader has an issue with his right shoulder; none of his arms attach correctly, and they fall out of the socket. I am referring to the part of the arm that connects inside of here https://imgur.com/vTI6N1D after connecting they end up falling out and looking like this https://imgur.com/UhMj9iW what is the name of the piece is it that I need to replace, and any suggestions of where to get it?

I also need a new belt. Any suggestions besides ebay of where I might get one?


Thanks!

I can?t really tell from your pictures but it looks to me like you?re just not inserting the forearm all the way up. I don?t think anything is actually broken. Maybe I?m just not interpreting the picture right?

Mediame, I think you just need to push it more firmly into place. When I pop mine off and on, there is a definite click. I find it is easier if I bend the elbow joint forward, hold his right bicep with my left hand, and press up on his elbow firmly with my right thumb to pop it in. You have to make sure none of the sleeve is in the way. If you still cannot get it, I recommend a quick YouTube search.

Has there any flaking issue regarding to this figure recorded around here for this 6-year old first version of Vader so far ?

I have no flaking on the suit at all. Mine is still like new overall.

This was a used Vader and I do not have the instructions. I just went through pieces that it came with and I discovered the small piece at the top of this photo https://imgur.com/BZw805W I am suspecting this is my problem? Does this need to attach between the arm and the inside sleeve shoulder?

Another photo of the inside that I am trying to connect to https://imgur.com/xxScfH8

Both of the arms that do not connect https://imgur.com/50NcA9h

Thanks!

Here?s the instructions on Sideshow:

I just checked mine and the inside of the arm and the arms themselves are exactly the same. That little piece you found is a wrist peg, it connects the hands to the arms. If you look at the picture of the inside of the arm, there?s a circle hole. That?s what the tips of the lower arms will plug into.

What do you think of this Darth Vader? Not mine. Asking because the person who owns it doesn't believe me when I told him it has at least 3-4 problems as it stands in those photos...

One the tunic is not tucked in to the belt, his under rode. Two the jacket is backwards, three the belt is upside down. So many problems here and I don?t know why. We live in 2020 we have Google 4K look up a pic. How hard can it be to get the look right.

Yeah that Vader doesnt look good. Looks like he got dressed after a really hard night out with Palps and the boys on Coruscant.
