High I was just joking. I have the SS and Medi Luke cloaks so I don't need the hasbro. I wouldn't mind seeing what one looks like though.

damn... Vader is huge by comparison... the last photo has sort of a ventriloquist vibe going on.

Yup that's one thing about the SS Vader, way out of scale.

Anyone else have the issue where the weather vanes lights seem to dim after a about 30 seconds of being on? Replaced batteries but still get the same issue.

 

[jedijim3002]

I never keep mine on for more that 20 seconds so not sure.

I posted the same question a ways back:

Open question about the blinking red lights on the weather vane:

How does yours function?

When I turn it on, they blink alternately and bright. Then they, after about 30 seconds, start blinking simultaneously. They keep doing that and they start to blink off faster while getting dimmer. They then start going slower and a bit brighter, and that cycle continues in waves.

The answers:

Yes, from what I've gathered it seems to be common. If its on for a longer period of time (15 minutes or more), it continued til dim and almost off. Seems it runs down the batteries then charges overnight while off and starts over again etc.

People have said there is some uneven sequence but no one has listed it yet. Sounds interesting.

Hot Toys light up effects are notorious for stuff like this. I think the main problem is that they use button batteries.

Yes Ive had same issues, so I purchased a 100 pack of the batteries on ebay for $2-3 and they seem to work better, and now extras for when they die lol..
I do wish theyd last longer and be able to stay on for a bit.
