Nice to see that you've added the chest box strap buttons! Looking at all the HT Vader's on all the Freaks threads I was beginning to think I was the only one to add these! 😄😊

Hi McHaley, what's involved in combining the roadblock and Vader bodies? And does the figure end up taller than the HT body or the same height?

I don't remember how tall Vader was originally, but mine stands just a hair under 13.75 inches.
For the body mod, you have to unscrew the groin/butt for both figures. I believe I used a Flathead Screwdriver to pull the spring tab down a bit as I slid it into the slot that attaches it to the Roadblock legs. You have to do it quick before it snaps back and the screw drive slips out, but once it's in, get the other half of the groin on and screw it back together.

Appreciate it. Thanks. Love the fit of the the suit on the body you put together. Proportions are the best I've seen.
