Which cape is that? looks greatHe might just be my favorite figure
I’ve swapped the crotch plate over from the Tarkin 2 pack Vader (which was flaking to the touch when I went to get it). I don’t think it’s necessary, I don’t even think it looks better per say, but I don’t wanna mess with the pose to swap it back lol.

I got a 12 foot usb c , and it works fine. Off Amazon...
Just received my ROTJ C-3PO after a tremendous wait. I am about to hit Fusion Reactors to order a kit for C-3PO and R2-D2.
My concern with fusion reactors is safety.
That’s crazy. I’m seeing like 320-340 on Mercari but that’s not including the buying fees. They were selling for mid to high $400 before the reveal of the battle damage one and release of ROTJ.
Also, whenever HT does battle damage it ends up way softer in production, just look at the BD 85 or even this Vader’s BD helmet, neither are anywhere as sharp as the prototypes. Full-on battle damaged figures usually give me pause as far as how they will actually turn out.We tend to talk a lot about the damaged helmet on this piece, since that's the allure of it, and why I got it. But let's not overlook the clean look. Even if you just want a regular Vader, you can't go wrong with this. Yes you can criticize the cod piece and cape, but proportions and details are hard to beat. I am happy I got the deluxe.
I agree. I was tempted to get the battle damaged Vader. But like you said, it's not from any movie or show, and the image is all over the place. It isn't really Hayden's likeness. To me Vader has always been this mysterious, and intimidating character. We never see his face until ROTJ, but then he comes back to the lightside and is Anakin again. All that battle damage makes him seem vulnerable, and seeing his whole face takes away the mystery. I like this OWK version in that we see just a little bit of what remains of a damaged Anakin, but still keep the intimidating silhouette and presence of Darth Vader.Yeah this is a fantastic figure and arguably the best Darth Vader set that HT has produced, looks like the ROTJ might be close. I still don’t quite get why so many collectors immediately want to sell it and buy a half-naked Vader that has never appeared in any movies or shows instead.
I'll have to try that body mod on the right if I get a WL conversion for the ROTJ figure to get more of the Prowse physique with that wider mid section
It's by FusionReactors =]
Looks great; very menacing pose. Love it.
Dont grab the helmet by the tusks.
