Mine is the standard, so no. Did not see any worth in the "lightning helmet" and the additional base to go for the deluxe

ok, I can't find a review or pictures of what's in the MMS 699 standard version box when you open it.
The description on Hot Toys website says the difference between Deluxe and Standard is Lightning head and extra Base only , but you say there's also no separate neck brace for the Shaw head sculpt too, correct? That would mean the description on the Hot Toys website is omitting this detail and it's actually important .Even if the tusks aren't broken it nice to have that spare piece just in case.

Are we awaiting another "batch"...?
Not on the standard it doesn't.
Where did you see that? It is not mentioned on Sideshow and I did not have it in my standard. Just the figure that already had the Vader mask and Shaw's head packed separately - no brace. You just remove a piece from the installed mask to fit the head.
The reason the Deluxe comes with 2 neck braces is b/c the deluxe comes with the ability to display all 3 heads (2 on the base, one on the figure) so it needs to come with two neck pieces. The standard doesn't include the extra display arms to display the two extra heads on the base, so no need to come with an extra neck piece. So, @satanatos is correct that the standard doesn't come with the extra neck piece

Very True…. I have em all but really only ever needed the ANH version.. All the others are sub par compared to it.. no real advancements at all…

ok ,thanks for clearing this up. Then the Deluxe might be worth it to get that extra neck brace in case one the tusks breaks accidentally in the future so you have a replacement part
I really need to put matrix69 on ignore. I see his stuff and it just makes me sad to see my factory default figures.
Matrix, I love your poses... but I'm maybe not feeling Vader using a handrail.

The Death Star meets regulation for handi-capable Sith Lords.
The handrail is important, as Vader's inner conflict has made him weak and unsteady on his feet.
Or...Prowse being unable to see clearly through the mask needs the handrail to guide him towards the steps
The 2nd excuse is actually what comes to mind -- unable to see thru the mask.
I get it, though -- trying to make use of each individual base... like, what else do you do with a handrail?

I got my "Item Arriving Soon" email from Sideshow. Looking forward to finally having a Vader in my collection.

His ANH Vader is hands-down the best I've ever seen. Ruined sixth scale Vader for me. Definitively.I really need to put matrix69 on ignore. I see his stuff and it just makes me sad to see my factory default figures.
For those interested here's a comparison of the severed hand with the old SS deluxe version.
It may look a tad crude and toyish now, but i kinda prefer the busyness of the SS stump.
