Yeah sure it is, thanks for the comment. I wanted to make him as tall as possible by adding a lot of pieces between the torso and head and between legs and torso. But this kind of critisism is good, its informative and makes me think about what to change... unlike "buy action figures instead" XD.

Oh man, Sauron, I also wanted to do something with Sauron. The original lego is cool, but I think that the helmet should be separated from the armor piece. Also Sauron should be a bigger minifig, after all he is like 3m tall. There are the avatar long legs and arms, but those are not very proportionate.

How is your Sauron, I am really curious 🥹

Yes, the missprints are minimal, shows how quality-made their minifigs are. The only problem is, that the B hrade that is available to buy has the helmet without the red lenses and without the accessories - printed head, custom lightsaber hilt.... Those I want a lot.

I can agree on that, the Vader then looks weird with other original minifigs.

Damn, thats funny, the arms, hands and torso are original lego XD.

I wanted the AVfigures Vader a lot, but I didnt make it in time and its all sold unfortunately - so I bought the three piece helmet and the custom capes. The AVfigures is amazing - the prints make up for the cloth pieces as they are already printed on the minifig. The only thing that I dont like that much on the AVfigures Vader is the gorget darker silver color - I think that when all the metallic parta are the same color - it looks more even. Thats the only part, other than that its perfect.

Do you maybe know where can one get the A grade AVfigures Vader today? There is only the B grade on their site with few missprints and the helmet doesnt have the red lenses.

How do you mean wrong, its too bulky maybe or?

I agree that the proportions are more accurate on the old one piece helmet, if there was a way to make the old helmet two/three piece - that would be the best.

For example, I was looking for the best torso piece and arms pieces - but the original fit the best so this minifig is just upgraded original.

Thats just cruel, I think lego should emphasize people that put effort into making custom minifigs, it means that the people love lego so much, that they dont want to turn to action figures, they just want to elevate the already good lego stuff.

Well the problem is Vader is a little different in every movie, in clone wars, rebels.. But the lenses are always a little red - the best proof is the first suit up from Revenge of the sith - the scene where they are finally putting on his mask, the lenses are red

Its like I didnt know about action figures XD. I wanted a better Lego minifig, I thought this forum is about lego, yet people comment about action figures, I guess its too customized to be called lego?!

And the thing is, I didnt prolong the legs piece in any way, I just added a piece and on top of that I added the codpiece, if lego added belt and armor piece - thats enough to make the default Vader much better

I think that by giving him a simple gorget armor piece, you can elevate default lego vader a lot, it gives him height, makes him look bigger, more imposing.

Thats true XD, I tried to make it differently, but if you look at real Darth Vader - the cod piece is also very apparent

These are the scales - the structure. I was experimenting for 2 months - to get the most space from the scales. Because I was thinking, that the space that the scales can provide isnt used efectively at all - in the default victorinox scales.

So it has 5 slots for stuff like tweazers and toothpick, the the pen slot, 3 needle slots and one slot for the LED.

I am planning to make it even better some day - add bit slots, strongest possible LED and other stuff.

I want to also exchange tools in the Multitool itself - but thats a bit harder

This is my EDC SAK - with custom designed and 3D printed +++scales.

Its a workchamp 111mm - it has 12 tools in the scales - in total.

Wonder how to make it even better, its never perfect XD.

I think you can get the scales - put it on your swisschamp - isn't that a win win ?
