what about the ESB cape. Is it the same as R1?

also need more pics of the head side by side

ESB Vader arrived it has a few niggles so i think Rogue One may still be the best.

Is the helmet a secure fit...or is it loose?

 

[davejames]

ESB chest box is huge. Way too big considering it should be smaller than ANH.

Yeah it looks like it takes up nearly all the space between the chest armor and belt, which is something we should only see happen with ANH Vader.

Ugh, just one more frustration with this.

Helmet stays on perfectly fine, cape is better on Rogue One, the underskirt on esb isn't sewn together at the bottom like RO so is really hard to get to not push out.

Why is he so short

 

[RebelSpy007]

Would be interesting to see the helmet vs the Iron Studios 1/4. Whilst the latter has its issues, it seems it was much better received.

Why is he so short

He's supposed to be. RO is way too tall.

Shame about the material -- I knew it wasn't the RO material.

So he could fit into a Detolf on his funky stand ;-)
Or is the RO one too tall? The ESB legs do look short though. Hopefully we can blame lens distortion. ;-)

The ANH V2 is the same height as the RO though. I have them both

Then both are wrong.

Always seemed to me that the v2 ANH was a wee bit shorter... but you'd know better.

I've always gone by this comparison: ANH - RO - ANH v2

 

[Lord Valefor]

can you try sticking the ESB head on the rogue One body?

Nope as it's got no back due to the Anakin head it kind of feels a bit flimsy don't want to but any pressure on it sorry.

ah ok .But close ups of the 2 heads side by side would be nice

Here's anothe BIG issue to me .The dome flare. This is a huge part in getting the "Vader look" right. On the 1:4 (left picture) they got it right and it is slightly curved inwards. On the ESB it is still to straight and "triangular" like the Rogue One/ANH .See what I mean:

Exactly! Almost all 1/6 Vaders have screwed up the dome flare.

Yeah both ANH versions used the same body...looks like TESB version is on the same...which is a plus..

 

[sithocan]

I still think that shoulder armors on ESB are enormous compared to other versions.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Definitely need more pictures please...

 

[The Jerker]

Curious if it's shorter than the Ro Vader.
