I finally got my Vader from sideshow but it didn’t come with a brown shipper. Just shipped in a larger box with padding. Can anyone confirm that sideshow orders come with a shipper?

My commander Cody came like that years ago and I returned it. Definitely was opened. Didn’t have the plastic wraps on the limbs. The sent me a new one in the shipper. I’d call if you are suspicious.

Concern over a shipper leads to the dark side. Consume you it will.

Like the guy said above, most likely a returned figure
Mine was from Sideshow. Mine came in Hot Toys brown shipper box.

Thanks guys. I’ll contact them and see what they say. I think where I ran into a problem is that I paid off my figure later than everyone got theirs shipped so that’s all they had left was a returned figure. Not cool sideshow. Not cool.
Makes me a bit nervous for mine that’s on payment plan

Was the art box sealed? Is the figure ok?

Yes. The box was sealed and the figure seems fine. Haven’t checked everything yet but perhaps someone else needed a brown shipper and mine was the sacrificial lamb.

Could’ve just been a torn or otherwise damaged shipper box at Sideshow as well and everything else was fine, but they just replaced the shipping box then..
I have received unopened Hot Toys from Sideshow without a brown shipper before. The Art boxes were pristine and sealed just no brown outer box.
My orders from sideshow have only lacked the HT brown shipper if it was an In Stock item.

Makes sense. Probably what happened here.

Just a little freaky
The ROTJ is the final in my collection I can't see them doing a better version for some time now. To me I see an old mans body in an Esb Vader suit with a better helmet but the body has changed as the dark side has taken hold of Vader and not in a good way as he now looks drained, a figure of himself as you can see in the previous versions and rightly so. The only thing I would add is a slight bit of weathering in the mouth piece area, gonna have to research what emissions does to electronics after electrical discharge happens.

I finally got my replacement helmet dome from Monkey Depot. I bought the figure from Hong Kong but the dome arrived damaged (the face mask was fine) and there was nothing the seller could do. He has offered a $25 refund.
I bought a replacement full helmet after Monkey Depot broke this figure down about two weeks ago.
Cost me $99 plus shipping and customs so closer to $150 to replace the helmet.
Irish Customs stopped my item for nearly two weeks because the name "Monkey Depot" was suspicious to them.
I had to provide the actual invoice and I had to ring them with an explanation as to what was in the package.
At least I have it now and the replacement dome is perfect.
I'll now try to sell the face mask as a lot of these arrived with broken tusks.
