Spray the hood with warm water not hot, manipulate the hood into the desired shape, hold down for a couple of minutes and voila! Worked a treat on mine.
Seems like a strange oversight on Hot Toys side by not having that additional wire in the hood. My theory is we're seeing Revan, Starkiller and undoubtedly more because we'll eventually see live action versions so they'll make people potentially double dip so they're getting the O.G.s out there first to make sales.
Maybe a possible solution for wireless lightsabers would be having the usb connect into the figure and have some kind of wireless connection in the hands to activate the sabers on contact. Just shooting ideas out there, not that we're the ones making these figures here lol
Despite the hood, super pumped about getting this figure soon! I think your review showed the light up sabers can be a viable option vs Justins videos where he just bashes the hell out of them... and your video seemed to be in decent light to show them off (still love Justins videos, no hate). Can't wait for tomorrow's stream!
It’s an amazing figure without a doubt! I unfortunately didn’t purchase it due to lack of funds and knowledge of Revan’s lore and all and all just the old republic in general. I have always been more into the skywalker saga lore. He looks like a really badass character tho nonetheless.
TimCent88 in the house..Great figure other then the hood and weird choice on the ankles. That gap from the feet to the ankles isn't my favorite move. Just make them all connect flush like all the other figures. I get its for maximum rotation but what good is that if it can't stand.
Will those are cool poses don’t be too hard on yourself. Glad I PO it as well as Starkiller, I hope the issue of the foot pegs is just your copy cuz I hate using the crouch grabber but if it is then such is life. The hood is the biggest gripe on this figure so yeah but overall it’s pretty awesome Tnx for the first look. Stay safe
It's on all the figures..the feet and ankles don't connect flush. There's a pretty sizeable gap from foot peg to ankle. I thought I had a bad copy to, but it's made like that. It's like they used oversized ankle pegs lol
It’s a shame about the hood could they not just go for a very thin fabric that naturally would drape over his head . The thick looking material is what makes it so huge and floaty. Aside of the hood it’s awesome. And I’ll probably get him. But likely get the DX28 Vader first
"Straight up and down" ... "No crazy poses" ... careful bro. Justin may claim copyright infringement! haha

Happy for you my boy

Congratulations bud!!
Great review but I agree that hood almost seems like an after thought but besides that it’s fantastic
I just picked up mine and I do think the light saber system has been improved a lot in this release.

SGA is having an MVP season
Excellent review will! Beautiful presentation.
No crazy poses, Will! lol
You did pretty good with the hood! It doesn’t look that bad!
Just cause of that hood, going with Starkiller instead. Thanks for review Fox
Awesome review as always Will, see ya tomorrow for the livestream !

yeah I'm not sure why they did that with the ankles. It's covered, so it's fine I guess.
@WillFoxification it is covered but it drives my nuts knowing it's like that lol..when I unboxed mine I was pissed lol..thought I got a QC issue.
Same way Hot Toys screwed up Jango Fett’s ankles
Awesome figure! Great review Will (:

@ so what would be a good fix?
Thanks bro. I appreciate the kind feedback. Yes, I don't love the ankle peg system.
Wax on, wax off!
The rings hanging by his waist. Are they attached by pleather or a different material?
Hell yeah! Are you picking up Starkiller too Will?

Yea it really gives him that cone head look lol
Love the review! Figure looks really good. I love your “cheap as shit” hood comment though 😂. You’re right, they could have done better there.
He needs fists. My biggest complaint with most hot toys these days is the lack of hands.
I have him on preorder but this hood.... I don't know, I don't like how it looks at all.
Now I'm strongly considering cancelling my preorder.
nearly ''perfect'', come on. Nowhere near.
