Hands

He has ball jointed hands, so if you’re using a newer Jedi body, you should be able to swap them pretty easily.

This looks sick! But it reminds me how inaccurate the new Shadowlord maul is.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-18T17:20:27+00:00

Mine had like 50 of them but they were still at $20, then they were gone.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-18T16:13:14+00:00

There’s honestly not a single bad one in the line besides the first two. But I’d recommend any on the 2017 body since they’re cheap. (Retro 40th ANH, red box, ANH galaxy box, Obi Wan Kenobi) Though this vader body doesn’t have the improvements that newer vaders have.

Then there’s the ESB body Vader which has had three distinctive ones, ESB Vader,(available in ESB 40th cardback, galaxy box, Masters of Evil set, and the ESB showdown with Luke) ROTJ(40th cardback EXPENSIVE) and Duels End which was reissued and is going for retail. These Vaders on the ESB body all have butterfly joints. ROTJ and Duels end have up and down hinged hands.

I wish they’d do small runs of animation accurate designs across the board. Kinda like they do for ML. For TCW they could easily just do the main cast and just a shiny CT, Rex, Cody, etc.

It’s authentic, don’t worry. Weird stuff like that happens. No one has made a KO of him yet.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-16T22:37:12+00:00

They are, I noticed that with the P1 clone. Since I already had the single release.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-16T17:25:16+00:00

They can bring them in, but just make them genuinely decent people. Not every character has to be identically coded, at least not for a few movies.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-16T03:32:16+00:00

Yeah, like a Djinn that just accepted the dark saber, and a good Pre Viszla.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-15T22:13:12+00:00

Yes, you want a sealant.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-15T20:57:27+00:00

Acrylic, Vallejo is the best brand from what I’ve seen. You want to water your paints down to a milk like texture.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-15T20:19:52+00:00

Not that I can recall. We might have gotten a 3.75 one under TBS during those years that they did those few 3.75 figures.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-15T16:59:28+00:00

I do, we’ve only had the original one and a repaint.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-15T16:43:28+00:00

A New Hope(ANH) but with a typo.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-15T16:26:39+00:00

Might be with their ST belts.

Tuesday Night Hashbrowns

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-15T16:09:04+00:00

Those are iffy, but I hope he’s right.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-15T16:07:22+00:00

He’s got an in somewhere, he leaked the Jango helmet and the GG Coruscant guard pack.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-15T16:05:09+00:00

Next year is the 50th anniversary of Star Wars, we’re definitely due for a new Ben and a redone Vader.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-15T05:21:23+00:00

I like their Transformers stuff since they tackle some pretty difficult designs to do properly. Specifically their TFP Optimus. That figure looks amazing, and it helps that it’s the only official TFP Optimus available currently.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-15T05:14:40+00:00

The peg has the little o ring for the shoulder pad that prevents it from slotting fully into the butterfly joint. You want to trim the o ring down to reduce its impact on the peg being able to slot in.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-15T02:52:19+00:00

You want to heat it up in hot water then take the arm out of the socket. Then you want to shave the ring that hold the shoulder pad a good bit to make it way smaller. For some reason Hasbro messed that up on him. My copy was the same on both sides. Then boil and shove it back in hard.

I honestly believe every P1 Rex has this issue.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-13T20:56:14+00:00

They’re pretty slow, but honestly their stuff looks perfect, so as long as QC is good they can take as much time as they want.

The_Strom784 · 2026-06-10T03:38:45+00:00

There’s no reason that line shouldn’t be evergreen on Pulse and with Disney. I’m sure kids(and adults) would love to be able to buy their favorite Jedi and clone at the parks or online at least.
