      As long as the ball joint is not bigger on this body then you could fit it. If it's smaller you could still make it fit by adding electric tape on the ball or little pieces of paper in the head's socket. Since they are the same size figure I don't see why they wouldn't use the same ball joint size.

      I have the Empire Strikes Back Vader, and I am hoping I can put the normal Obi-Wan Show Vader helmeted head from this new version on the ESB Vader, so I don't have to deal with the helmet falling off constantly. lol

    Superb figure although it is a real shame that Hot Toys had to cheap out and use the floor base as an exclusive deluxe piece when it is a reuse piece from the 1/4 scale Hot Toys Return Of The Jedi figure released a good while ago.

    • @nonametofame
      @nonametofame 9 місяців тому +3

      I was thinking the same, but I have heard those who have used 3rd party genuine leather replacements, report that it's typically very stiff, which severely limits poseability. I can't blame HT though. Nobody really complains, and customers keep buying. The material deteriorates, and they find another reason to buy another. Wash, rinse, repeat. I agree that this review is awesome, though!

      @@TheAztec010 that's exactly the thing, nobody really knows what the difference is! People say humidity, or temperature or time kept inside the box but people have inconsistent results, some like yourself are fine but so many have them peeling all over the place after two years in a display cabinet without being touched. Whenever they use this material they basically put an expiration date on the figure for a lot of collectors.

      Get your money back. They do not send out for the most part. Only the odd one to appear they're in business to scam others. Do full charge back now and order elsewhere until it's too late and sold out. Don't waste time emailing them, they will only make excuses.

    Why is there only half of the shoulder armor? I don't get why they always use this crap pleather material and double ply tunics. The only upside is the sculpt and USB lights.
    FYI: hot toys does a lot of photoshopping on the figures. There are always differences. I don't believe them anymore lol

    • @chamoo232
      @chamoo232 9 місяців тому +1

      It's not photoshop. It's just really professional lighting and posing mixed with a unique prototype figure. That figure gets way more time and effort into it. Then they make a process to replicate that as easy as possible with constant result. That's why the sculpt are softer and the paint is never as detailed. Instead of being meticulously painted by the top artists designing the figure it's now painted step by step by rows of Chinese factory workers.

      @@etiennemorrissette5500 The headsculpts are. It's one of the biggest factor for the price. For the prototype it's usually the same artist who will do everything and make it look as good as possible on a perfect sculpt. When that gets approved by the licence holder they then break down a process to make the production ones. The production sculpts are not as detailed and the painting process is simplified. They can have one artist do all the skin shading one head at a time the same way for hundreds of heads. Another artist will airbrush something else. Another one will paint the lips. Another one do the eyelashes and so on. It has to be simple, fast but also consistent from head to head.
