This was an idea I had almost a year ago and since then me and my budd who's here on the Realm, Knightime, had been working on it ever since. We wanted to created a Darth Vader Figure that was both the first 6-inch ANH(and perhaos Rogue One) Vader and also made in the style of Mezco's One:12 Collective figures. So I got a hold of a spare Bandai Model Kit Vader, a Pizza Spidey, and a black series Vader. From there we planned the whole thing out. Knightime would work on the body suit and new wrist articulation while I would work on the armor, robes, and cape. It turned fantastic and I can't thank my pal enough. Go check him out, he's got fantastic customs. As everyone who has made a model kit Vader knows, the top of his mask has a cap. All I did was remove the cap and glue the helmet on without it. That gave Vader a meaner more ANH look. I then saw off Spidey's neck joint and sculpted a hole where it was to fit the model-kit's ball-joint. His gloves were sculpted with horizontal lines as apposed to the default vertical and the tail end of the gloves, the bit that rests behind the articulation, is a hollowed out model-kit forearm. It fit surprisingly well! The armor pieces were all fitted with elastic bands so they looked relatively accurate to the film. The base was just a side project I started on while waiting for the under-suit to return from Knightime. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do! This guy is most likely my favorite 6-inch figure I own as of now. ![]() |
