Love both of these Vaders.
which is better?
I won't own DX28, so I'm happy to hear ROTJ is better.
I notice the only Vader named by its DX number and not the movie/series source it comes from is the Obi-Wan Show version. I understand why.

I think it’s only here on CF where people refer to it as DX28 lol, everyone on FB, Reddit, Instagram and YT calls it “Kenobi Vader”
Oh. 'Kenobi Vader' is an odd term -- makes it sound like some AI mash-up. But I get it. I always thought OWK Vader looked best for recognition purposes in keeping with ANH or ESB, etc...
I’m with you, that’s what I personally say too: OWK Vader. But yeah, everyone calls it ‘Kenobi Vader.’ Speaking of that figure, I think it’s great if you’d like that version of Vader, but I’m personally not a fan of the show, so I skipped it myself.
But Rogue One Vader has a different helmet “widow’s peak”: it’s pointy, like MMS388. DX28 doesn’t have that pointier peak as it’s softened up to match OWK appearance. Subtle, but that distinction alone makes them entirely different prop/costume designs. Not only that, but FBFX was responsible for creating the OWK Vader costume and it was ground up, not the same costume seen in Rogue One. They’re different.
All HT Vaders are "updates" of others in some way so I would rely on that.

If I had to choose, I’d choose ROTJ, I like a lot of the details from that design but also it’s OT. I don’t care for DX28 source material but I’m able to separate it as a cool Vader figure, or Rouge one version.

Does anyone know if the DX27/28 head is compatible with ROTJ Vader?

The lighting here for that 1st pic is phenomenal.
I cannot wait to get this figure.
He is my next one I've got coming!!!

Anyone in Europe had anything shipped from Sideshow recently ? Just wondering if their shipping estimate of around $36 is at all correct ? Or if I could be up for a big surprise.
Seems low to me, and totally within their normal shady business practices.

Too bad my door is the backdrop. The sun had just come up and that dawn light was perfectly subtle. It was literally gone in about a minute
