I agree. Shaw was redeemed -- that was the point of throwing the Emperor away -- so he should appear at the age he died, redeemed.

Yeah, George has over meddled with the thing. Sometimes you f-up the stew when you keep tweaking it. Shaw should’ve been the ghost, not Haydn. And nothing against Haydn.

Got an email earlier today about having a sale on all 1/6 figures he has in stock
Thankfully there's an ability to hold onto older versions, no matter what changes have been or are made, I can still enjoy thing the way I grew up. At first even the eyebrow removal was a WTF for me, but I've made peace with that, it actually does make some sense, especially now knowing what injured Vader and how to get into the mask, but Shaw should never be replaced in the reveal, his performance and voice are what made that moment so impactful for me, Hayden could never recreate that, and Hayden got his moment in the Kenobi series, which hit me with equal power.
You should know that nothing is truly dead when the Force is involved. Not to defend that theory, which is not mine since I grew up with the OT and I will always remember the way Sebastian looked at Luke...with his own eyes.
Maybe Lucas is clever: Ben and Yoda went to SW "Hell" where Hayden arrives.
I bought a "0" brush to paint the eyebrows in on the HT Anakin head.
And they changed Shaw's eye color too but nothing much I can do about that.

From what I see the pegs are different size and the connection (male-female) is inverted.
Got in my sculpt from toy anxiety today and into my esb Vader it went. It’s so good compared to previous versions especially the esb.
I think I’m finally content with this figure for now…

The deluxe edition is in stock at Toys Assemble. I ordered one from them the other day and it arrived in 3 days from Hong Kong. I heard about them through a few folks who swore by them. Given all the scams out there, I was initially hesitant to pull the trigger but I'm glad I did.

Here's my comparison pics:
Left - ESB Vader with original helmet, but "reworked" and Dx27 Vader body with Sideshow hands.
Middle - ESB Vader with ROTJ helmet and Dx27 Vader body with Sideshow hands.
Right - ROTJ Vader unaltered. (please disregard the base
)
Also, it's not super clear, but here's a pic of the altered ESB helmet next to the ROTJ helmet.

Decided to put the lightning helmet onto another older frankenvader body I had and use the platform display stand with my old custom Emperor. Its decent but there's no way to power the lightning helmet so I guess I'll just buy a small LED button battery lamp and put it behind the helmet. This Vader body has the older button battery powering for the chestbox anyway.
Still trying to figure out how to use the Anakin portrait. Not as in love with it as I thought I'd be even though its a great piece.

Man got replacement helmet with even worse scratches. The QC on this thing is atrocious feel like more than 50% of them will have scratched dome.
