FREEDANDEE
Freaked Out
I wish I had the talent to do what you did Darren. I'm not really thrilled with my Vader as is.
Vader with Marmit troops
Whew...OK I did it!!! I modded the dome placement on my Vader Let me tell you that dome placement on this figure makes ALL the difference. I actually modded the head rather than the dome. It was actually very easy to do. I just removed the dome and cut about 3/16 to 1/4 of an inch off the top of the head with my dremel. Didn't have to be too careful since this part is always coverd by the dome. Then just reposition the dome... trim anymore excess as needed and DONE! Now my Vader looks 110% better.
Good luck to all who try it out!

I have them in a bag at the new house. Keeping them until new Vader arrive then I'm going to seed them in the garden, maybe they'll grow into full size Vader figures
Whoa..thats my favorite pic now, you did the best job i have seen yet.

Don't forget guys, this fella has a double jointed neck.. so pull his head forward that helps with his posture (making him have that natural forward neck that we all have - including david prowse) also it helps a little with the back of the dome and the shoulders
Can you share any straight on pics, Darren? I like what you're on to, but it's a little hard to guage without the straight on angle to compare.
Great stuff Darren. That shoulder idea is exactly what I was planning to do. Glad it works so successfully, it makes all the difference.
