1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 279 - Star Wars Episode IV: 1/6th scale Darth Vader

[GatorVader]

I got mine in a couple days agai and I have no issues with the figure at all. It's kinda hard to turn on the voice switch but I can do it without removing anything and it works great.

For the sound, does the sleep feature work for you? If I let mine go to sleep (15 min feature), I have to reinstall the batteries. Switching it off before then, and it will work fine.

that was the second batch of parts that TA had in stock. I would like to get the helmet and mask if they get a third batch of parts in

Thanks - I guess I'll keep checking to see if they get a third batch in.

Hmm, I don't really know....I've always shut it off manually when I'm done goofing around with it

Sat on the helmet... thought about buying it.... changed my mind... thought about scalping it... changed my mind.

and changed it back again.

How much were the helmets when they were there?

Seems like the same stuff sells fast, and the same junk is left.

It was $74.99 I believe.....around there.......

 

[pixletwin]

$69.99

 

[Matt S]

$69.99

Ok, thanks - knew I was kinda close......sorry!

 

[Wor-Gar]

I had heard $75 before. But $70.... TA is not known to lower their pricing the 2nd round.

I think Pix bought a Sideshow helmet... better run and check fast

 

[pixletwin]

oh noz!!!!

I did notice they increased the price of the base body tonight...(far as I recall).

Was just looking at the Interrogator Droid listing for kicks and it seems they're unaware that it comes with its own stand (the ID stand is taped to the bottom of the main tray).

Note - This connects to the regular display stand and would need modification to connect to a different stand, or to stand on its own.

If anyone here buys from them, maybe let them know in comments about the stand so they can include it for shipping. It's pretty cheap looking but better than nothing.

I've thought about buying the body. Does the SS ANH Vader head work with the neck piece on the HT body?

Who would want that piece of junk anyway? I bought the figure stand to go with the droid. Seems the only real logical way to display.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Figure stand is definitely the best choice but barring that they may as well include the little one. It has no other purpose and is better than nothing for the buyer. Lots of ways to hide it on display.

 

[Matt S]

The stand is cheap, but it works...........and takes up way less room!

I heard negative.

Wait, reverse that -- I know the HT head can't fit the SS ANH body. But I assume its the same the other way 'round too.

 

[pixletwin]

I heard negative.

Too bad. Ah well.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Too bad. Ah well.
