The anticipation is real.

The OWK boots are being delivered tomorrow, and I’m also expecting my LCS to call me tomorrow that my ROTJ Vader is ready for pick up.

Could someone show a comparison of the OWK boots compared to the stock RotJ boots? I'm wondering if I would even be able to tell the difference.

While I'm a stickler for accuracy myself, I'd say that's somewhere at the bottom of the list of upgrades, because it's hardly noticeable (I don't have a picture at hand, sorry).
I'd rather invest that money into a new cape, which will have a much bigger impact on his appearance.

Congrats! Are you planning a photo session? Would love to see him through your lens. I remember how great you made the original SS ANH Vader look.

Thank you, and most definitely. At the moment, I'm finishing up 31 shots for 31 days of spooky to celebrate Halloween, and then Godzilla day on 11/3, but Vader shots are definitely coming.

Unlike the old Sideshow Vader, this thing is so fantastic, I won't be working to hide flaws haha, and my skills have grown a lot since then. That is still a fond memory though, one of the most hype filled moments in my collecting life.

This is now my fourth Vader with Anakin reveal, starting with the original Hasbro in the 90s, then the Medicom (very flawed), then a custom of the Hasbro head on a Disney Store Vader figure body.

Also, here he is with my very first.

I also find it to be towards the bottom of the priority list, but I still got it lol. The boots aren’t square toed at all in the films.

Which cape are you thinking of using or going custom route?

I made my custom ROTJ about 4 years ago in true 1:6 scale mostly using kaiyodo and HT parts, so I'm not getting this HT. You can find pictures in my custom thread here: https://www.collectorfreaks.com/threads/agonistes-star-wars-customs.238985/#post-10421048

I made a custom cape and robe myself for him. I'm currently working on converting the 1:4 to full ESB accuracy and am doing the same for him. If you go to a fabric store it's not that difficult to find a good fabric. It takes some practice and trial and error to make these capes and robes, but the payoff is huge IMO.

When I get home later, I can send a picture. I’ll be doing the swap tonight.

OWK boots are rounded which is more accurate to OT appearances. Stock ROTJ boots are square toed.
 
Has anyone physically done the swap yet of the boots. I don’t think they’ll fit or if they do they’ll be extremely tight as the bodies are different on the two figures and I believe the boots have a slightly different diameter to them.

Is that a spare ROTJ Vader vest with belt and boxes or the ESB removed?

I ask, because I'm curious if you can "unhook" the belt buckle like the old belts, or if the belt is now permanently fastened on ROTJ.

It’s the ESB vest with chest box and the ESB belt with boxes. I just wrapped the belt around the vest lol
 
Oh. My. God. This is unreal.

Don’t have time to share my full thoughts on this piece, but this is sublime. Finally have an Empire Vader figure that actually looks like Empire Vader :love

I converted the ROTJ Vader into TESB Vader with the following add-on mods:

• ESB chest box/vest
• ESB belt
• OWK boots (I actually really like this mod, beefier boots that look the part and add some height as rayeknor mentioned)
• ANH Tarkin Vader cape

Excuse my pictures, I don’t have a set up, but I’ve been thinking of grabbing something to not have my LEGO SW in the background lol.
