Trick. For the leather-like fabric not to tear, you have to apply forniture polish once a week, a small amount. It soften the fabric and makes it not to tighten and dry that much.

[@jimcollector]

Oh interesting thank you for this! I’ll have to get myself some furniture polish.

[@ansal2525]

@@jimcollector You are wellcome! The same is used for leather jackets and those kind of fabrics. Thank you for answering my comment!

[@sonderstudios6675]

Or use neutral Angelus leather paint once and never again.

[@thejediknightswatch]

Can’t wait to have this Vader! Already have the CCFL saber on its way!

[@jimcollector]

You won’t be disappointed! This Vader is great. Awesome on the CCFL! I’ve yet to pick one of those up but from what I’ve seen they really level up a figure

[@thejediknightswatch]

@@jimcollector they really do! Just gotta make sure you take proper precautions lol

[@jimcollector]

Oh really? I’ve heard they can over heat?

[@thejediknightswatch]

@@jimcollector yeah they can. I keep mine on the lowest brightness and they don’t get warm. I also don’t leave them on when I’m not in the room.

[@bradkoski]

I have my Vader already, just waiting on my ccfl from chriscustoms

[@tyria93]

Happy to hear the lights on the base aren't lackluster. Was excited for that base so that's a relief. Great figure and review 👌

[@jimcollector]

Hey Tyria! Thank you for watching :D yeah I have to admit that base impressed me more than I thought it would. Glad it’s usb powered as well rather than batteries.

[@Steger13]

Can't wait for mine 😊 waiting also for the new Luke too. Wis😢 they start to use Magnets to hold the figure and no crouch older.

[@jimcollector]

You won’t be disappointed! It’s an amazing figure! I’d like the option of magnets and a crotch grabber. The magnets are pretty cool and so far have held strong on my inset pennywise and Joker, they are a bit restrictive though. The new Inart Batman apparently has moving magnets in its base! That will be interesting.

[@Steger13]

@@jimcollector ah so good for museum pose only I guess. Thanks can't wait 😊

[@TK421Collectibles]

Great vid mate!! I really liked that first hunched over battle damage pose! Think I will have him displayed like that when Kenobi arrives! 👊🏻

[@jimcollector]

Thank you mate! Appreciate you taking the time to watch this! Yeah I think that was my favourite pose of the three. Hopefully Kenobi releases soon! I’ll have to pick him up later down the line unfortunately but he looks pretty good!

[@bobavader1862]

Great review of a great figure, just received mine the other day and could not be happier with the release. Hot Toys are renowned for reuse. Both bases are reuse, the floor base is from the Hot Toys 1/4 scale Return Of The Jedi Darth Vader figure released a while back.

[@jimcollector]

Hey thank you for watching and the kind words! Interesting I didn’t realise the floor base was a reissue. I suppose that explains the size as well if it was in use for a 1/4 scale!

[@collectorjoey]

Look at Jim go!!! 🔥🔥 great review!!

[@jimcollector]

Heeey Joey! Thanks for watching mate! And of course the sub as well! Appreciate it :D

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

Man.. this was a great video. Has me hyped for when mine gets in! 👀

[@jimcollector]

Hey thanks mate! Appreciate it! When is yours due to arrive?

[@Austin_Nicholas_]

@@jimcollector I don’t know.. whenever sideshow wants to ship it! O.o

[@jimcollector]

@@Austin_Nicholas_ well I hope that day comes soon dude!

[@revanmasterofthefoundry6148]

I can't wait for my figure ships out

[@jimcollector]

You won’t be disappointed! It’s a great piece :D

[@noctipatronus]

Does the light on his left belt control box not work on yours?

[@jimcollector]

Hey, it does thankfully but the wire kept becoming detached as I moved it around. I didn’t even realise until today it wasn’t connected haha

[@yeaabigace9730]

Is it safe to leave the figure and the base lit up indefinitely?

[@jimcollector]

Hey bud, I would assume so however I couldn’t be certain. You can definitely keep them wired up at all times but I don’t know if the lights could burn out if you left them on all the time or not. Shouldn’t be a problem for a few hours at a time though

[@AugieRockero]

My Rogue One Vader disintegrated because of the pleather. I replaced it with a real leather suit. I will never buy anything made of pleather and I will not be continuously applying products to the pleather either.

[@SlayaXD39]

Whar area/region are you in?

[@tobywareing6435]

Just got into hot toys with the boba fett twin pack. Got ARC Jesse on the way and I am wanting the ROTJ Vader coming this year so I will need to be patient and grab that and not this. Hopefully the pleather will hold up. Episode 6 Vader is just my personal favorite from this one and the ep 6 version.

[@jimcollector]

Hey mate, thanks for watching! What a set to start with! The Temuera Morrison head sculpt on that is fantastic. The ROTJ Vader looks brilliant so really good choice and 100% if that’s your favourite Vader then that’s the one for you :) have to say ROTJ is my favourite of the original trilogy

[@toddscollectibles980]

Congratulations on getting this Jim. Hot toys did a great job on this figure. Sadly it's not for me as am waiting the 1/6 Sebastian Shaw one. Did not like the show this came from so its original Darth Vader for me. Not taking anything away from this figure, as like I said it does look fantastic work by Hot Toys. Will look so good in your amazing collection bud 😊

[@jimcollector]

Hey Todd thank you for watching mate :) Yeah I think a few people have passed on this in favour of the Return Vader which also looks incredible! Love the unmasked head sculpt on that. For me I only have space for one so this is a good option to have almost two figures in one haha.
