Question for those that used hand steamers to remove the wrinkles from the cape and surcoat (inner roboes). Did you steam them while actually on the figure, or did you remove them first, then steam them? I just received a hand steamer and want to give the cape and surcoat a good steaming. I'm...
Just curious if anyone here also owns Sideshow's older 1/4 scale Emperor Palpatine Premium Format figure with throne as well as the Hot Toys 1/4 Vader. I'd love to see some pics of the two posed as a pair, betting they'd display well together!
Made a minor (and incredibly simple) mod to Vaders chest box lights to dim them down to a less harsh, more acceptable, brightness. Got out my Roscolux theatrical light gel filter samples, found the one I wanted (#163 "Powder Frost"), cut a piece large enough to cover the LEDs and secured it in...
The chain on the cape and the chain hook are accurate to the actual ROTJ costume, so a regular chain and no chain hook would have been incorrect. The "chain" used was flat, dark grey flexible molded plastic links (not a metal chain) and is often used for gardening purposes. This is a photo of...
I was on the fence on this one for a while, mostly because of price, but after seeing the photos and videos realized I really, REALLY needed this Vader, and just now pulled the trigger from SS. Probably would've saved a ton pre-ordering from BBTS or another venue before he sold out, but just the...
I'm well aware of that. I already acknowledged that fact in my post:
"Tweaking" the look of my R1 a bit to build a more overall satisfying Vader figure to my eye (not specifically screen accurate)"
What I'm putting together isn't a specific R1 screen accurate figure, I'm assembling what to me...
Sorry if already asked/answered, but would the boots/shin armor from the HT ESB Vader be compatible with the R1 figure? "Tweaking" the look of my R1 a bit to build a more overall satisfying Vader figure to my eye (not specifically screen accurate) and really dislike the fit of the R1 shin armor...
I dunno... it's nice, but I think for the time being, I'll just hold onto my nice, shiny R1 as he's gorgeous and if I NEED an ESB/ROTJ version, I can either do a mashup of my SS ROTJ chest box, etc. or see if the HT ESB parts show up in the future on Toy Anxiety. I already switched out his...
