How I restored 1/6 Darth Vader's black suit from Flaking
Hey everyone! In today’s video, I want to show you how I restored my 1/6 Darth Vader figure (Medicom Toy) from a common problem: the crumbling synthetic leather.
The process is simple, just remove the entire layer, wash the fabric, apply shoe polish, and buff it. The more shoe polish you apply and buff, the more it will look like real leather.
I hope this video is helpful to you all.
See you in the next one!

    Why bother keeping toys in their package if they’re just going to look like this in 20 years anyway. Might as well keep it on display where you can see the whole figure in a cool pose

      I agree with you! I just bought this figure at a second-hand store here in Japan. My purpose in this case was simply to save this figure in a way that anyone can do at home without spending too much money.

    Nice job! Let me add some comments. Being a 1/6 scale collector myself, i had an unpleasant restoring experience with hot toys Vader mms279. I used liquid synthetic leather to restore the appearance of the suit. I put it in several layers. Because, for me, using that shoe stuff to actually paint the textile is questionable. first of all, it does not look like the original at a close look. second, Vader loses volume, if you know what i mean. His suit becomes thinner and that gigantic breast plate looks enormously big. And using the liquid leather you can actually mix it with paint and make it different colors.

    Typical Hot Toys rubbish and have stopped buying any of their figures that have pleather in them. I’ve resorted quite a few and it’s dishonest that this happens and the company doesn’t care. Nice work BTW and Hot Toys need to take a leaf out of your book.

    Cool thing, but Vader doesn't have any leather straps to hold the chestbox in place in episode 3, he only has that in episodes 4-6.the way it was before, it's actually cinematically correct
