Finally got around to putting a new suit on empire vader and using the RoTJ head. Was a pain the rear to move that chest box. Had to remove the back of it and run a wire through the suit to keep the light up functionality. One plus is that it allowed me to move the chest armor up and fixed the issue of it looking too large. You can see the difference between him and the RoTJ that have the same armor. Still need to fix a few things here and there, but mostly done on both. Gonna leave the suit on RoTJ until it melts. It feels a lot different...almost squishy feeling. They're on a temp shelf now, so ignore the dusty haha

Forgot I had that display stand. Don't think I'll use that gripper, though. RoTJ looks kinda derpy in comparison lol
So,i unboxed it today,I put on the cape and this already broke off…that’s what I call quality.exactly what you expect from a 350€ figure to do,10 minute in…
the point of the break looks a bit odd. Like a little dot. As if it wasn’t really connected at all. I’m pissed

Yeah, those tusks are super fragile. It's really scary when you try to take off the head. You should just be able to glue it back on
Yeah,I already got my superglue out,just need to find some tweezers. Problem is,my right arm doesn’t function like it should anymore after a messed up shoulder operation,and then I got Guillain Barre Syndrom,which affected my entire nerve system. So I became a total incompetent handymen.I can barely hold my hand still or grab any tool,let alone such a tiny tusk…I’m doomed
EDIT:Yeaaaaaaah,I fix it!!! After several attempts,I was able to glue it on
But I’m pretty sure,that thing had been glued back on before. It popped off way to easily!! And the surface looked like there was some glue on it.

Where?
Forbidden Planet NYC. Total came out to $247, but I also had a $100 Visa gift card I forgot about, so I ended up getting this for only about $167 including tax! Can’t believe it.
I believe they have more in stock.

Damn just saw that they had 30% off, was it in store only?
Just got my Vader from AE yesterday. Looked back at when the blogger pics dropped and it was August 13, so over 15 weeks. Nuts.
Figure is beautiful, I decided to immediately put on the Rogue One cape I'd been using on my ANH Vader. Don't think I'll bother testing out the electronics quite yet.

Think it was in store only, though they’ll probably do a Cyber Monday thing as well.
Usually Hot Toys/Sideshow gets excluded from sales at those kinds of stores, couldn’t believe when they told me they were included!
Decided to set up the lights to test them out and that led to me rigging up my detolf shelf to accommodate. Easy enough to run a wire down along with the dioder cables and then hide it behind the cape.
The shelf presence is strong with this one.
But I'm wondering, are the green lights on his belt not supposed to blink like the chest piece does?

The green lights on the belt boxes are supposed to stay lit up and not blink.The shelf presence is strong with this one.

Looks pretty good, but it's clearly for Dark Vader and not this figure
Drape cape designed for HT MMS452 Dark Vader
That Dark Vader is a typo 
. The MMS452 is the ESB version. For accuracy sake may not be right, yes. Guess will wait and see if Jaxon will make one for MMS699/700/ROTJ

Yeah, could make it work for empire or ANH. RoTJ had a wider neck on the cape that I didn't even know about until this release
