could be a good thing. unlike the TFA stuff sitting around that no one wants.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, I think that's why all TLJ figures at BBTS have had an NRD attached.

Nothing OT has had it.

 

[generalgrevious]

they know that the OT stuff will sell regardless and not sure on how TL will do.

"urrrh..cough".. Anakin..

Anakin is not OT.

I was talking about that NRD thing....

What about it?

I'm calm. Has nothing to do with OT. I was just asking for clarity on your *cough* comment.

Grievous and I were talking about NRD on TLJ stuff because of TFA's failure, but yet BBTS hasn't put any NRD on anything OT yet. Not sure where Anakin fits in there, in regards to your comment.

lol I think what he's trying to say is the lone PT figure sold out quickly as well. So not just OT is popular with fans. And it didn't have an NRD, so BBTS knows it's popular and will sell. Kinda seems like fishing for an argument though.

 

[GMan022]

I hope HT fixes the shin guard fitment as well. In the promo pics, you can see they still stick out from the boots. That was one of my main gripes with the RO version.

Damn, now that I think about it, I should've not got the 2 pack vader tarkin, instead copped tarkin on his own and this vader instead. I didn't think the stand alone tarkin would come with the chair, tiz why I purchased the 2 pack ahead of them listing the single tarkin. But single tarkin does come with the chair. Aside from the chair, the 2 pack and single tarkin there's literally no difference right? Accessories seem the same.

This ESB Vader has a sick display, I gotta go for it.

 

[KerotanFrog]

The only difference between Single Tarkin and Two Pack Tarkin is one big extra accessory, Darth Vader.

Everything else is indeed the same. I had Two Pack Tarkin in order, but dropped it for ESB Vader and Single Tarkin. Thank God BBTS didn't have an NRD for them. I'd be pissed.

It's the best Vader ever because it's from the best Star Wars movie ever! ...to most people.

This looks sloppy to me for some reason the more I look at it. Might just be the posing.

I thought the newer is always better.

I don't think it's the posing. I think it's stuff like the short arms (kinda giving Vader a T-Rex vibe). The gloves being a bit too long doesn't help that either. The pleating is distracting too. The Bespin backdrop pics for this figure look fantastic until you put them side by side with movie stills. Then the "I don't know what it is, but . . ." start to become more obvious. Vader just seems tough to get right at the 1/6 scale. There's still a year until this figure is released, so plenty of time to make improvements though. They'll keep on getting better after this too.

 

[ZillaFan]

Yeah I think you're right. Just things like baggy crotch, small cod piece that almost flares up in some pics, the extreme pleats, long gloves... just all a little off. I love my ANH and RO Vader so no doubt this will be great, but I keep seeing people talk about improvements and I'm just not seeing them in these pics.
