Hot Toys 1/6 Darth Vader figure | Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+

Wish the suit would have gotten damaged too.

It did.

 

[Bilbo Skywalker]

It did.

I mean besides just a replacement chest piece. Not canon to the show but think battle damaged terminator in Vader form.

C'mon hot toys, if you give us another clean vader, at least make it a real leather, you do it for wolverine, why not vader?

Likely in comics the torn leather and exposed skin/robotics might look cool but probably look silly in real life.

I don’t read the comics so it’s more so just to have a different look, besides a sculpt. Even just some heavy weathering throughout would be cool. And they may do that! the scene was dark so not sure what his suit looked like at the end. Those rocks should’ve dirtied him up though.

 

[Wor-Gar]

There's no pictures of Vader post-Kenobi fight? I couldn't find any.

...Is this the same Rogue One figure they showed at Celebration?

I’ll be surprised if this Vader, like the base he’s standing on, is not just a placeholder.

I'm thinking the same. If they displayed it at Celebrations as a placeholder, chances are they're doing the same for this event.

 

[Hologram AI]

There's zero accessories shown so yeah this is probably just an early placeholder.

Probably working on the battle damage sculpt and having to get that approved by Disney/Lucasfilm.

...Is this the same Rogue One figure they showed at Celebration?

I did notice one difference from the R1 figure! The brow of this dome, it's rounded in the front while retaining the Y indent. That's a feature unique to Kenobi Vader. All other Vaders have either the smooth brow without indent, or pointy brow with indent.

Although at a glance, everything else still looks like it's probably the same kit as R1 even if it shouldn't be. I guess they've only gotten as far as that one dome mod.
Most notably, the chest armor should be a different shape (slightly more like RotS). The cod piece should be a bit different than the R1 diaper, flatter. The cape collar should be wider and exposed with a hanging chain. On the chest box, I can't see the top straps, but I do still see the side straps. Box straps should not be present at all on Kenobi vader (like RotS). And I think the three grey buttons on the chest box should be a slightly darker grey than R1. The lightsaber should also be ANH style (not ESB/R1 style) but I can't see it well in these photos.

That's all just the bare minimum for Kenobi accuracy though. I'm still not interested until they battle damage it.
The chest box strap situation could be solved by magnets. And then it would also allow the buyer to swap between clean and damaged boxes easily.

Shouldn’t the eye lenses be red as well?

Yes

In the entire season of Kenobi there's only like one or two shots where you can just barely see some of the red showing through. They're tinted dark enough that even though they're technically red, you hardly ever see it. 99.5% of the time they just appear black. It's much more subtle in Kenobi than it was in R1, where they enhanced the red quite a bit. So I don't consider that a necessary change for this figure, the existing lenses should be fine. While the marketing and merchandise have played up the red eyes, they were not actually much of a thing during this show. The existing Rogue One figure lenses, which look black or dark red depending on the lighting, should suit it perfectly well. They were perhaps a little too subtle for Rogue One, but actually quite appropriate for this figure.

Yeah I don't even remember them being red in any of the scenes he was in. Not really something I care about on this figure.

It's subtle, but they are red. It should be the same on the HT figure since they're going to claim "accurate and authentic likeness".

He's again got no chain... Whatever, I'll wait until the inevitable ROTS Anniversary release with a Crispy Hayden head.

Yes I think I am going to wait for the ROTS version, the design is too similar to the RO.

 

[Enkinen]

Would kill for a ROTS figure, always loved how sleek and form-fitting that version of Vader is. Was admittedly a bit disappointed to see him styled like the OT in this show
