I'm trying to fight the urge to pre-order this but between the accessories and the packaging, I'm excited!
I'm waiting on a comparison too..I must be either blind or one big phony because I’m not seeing the inaccuracies several people are claiming exist on this figure. It looks great, but I’m so torn between getting it vs sticking with my Kenobi version PO.. putting them side by side, the only real differences I can make out are the gloves and belt buckle
That is alot of Vaders lol....... ........
I have been so patiently waiting for this guy. All in for the Deluxe. So cool to have the blue head as an option too... That was a welcomed unexpected addition for sure. I skipped the RO & ESB as I only needed 1 shiny Vader in my HT collection. I'm a Vader whore (I always have to use constraint when buying Vader merch) so it was hard to skip the RO & ESB when they even tempted me twice with the ESB version (1st & ESB 40th)... Without all these cool extras, the base Vader is identical to ESB. I even got a parted out ESB lightsaber so I have the option with this guy, Glad too it looks like they gave him the proper ROTJ lightsaber hilt.
I know he's not perfect, but I like it. I have the 1/4 scale, but he's never been displayed due to his size and not wanting to remove a shelf in one of my Detolfs.
And is it just me, or does this unmasked Shaw head sculpt look even better than the 1/4 scale??
And is his codpiece new or the same as the ESB one? I now it's not the diaper RO version. I bought an extra parted out HT ANH codpiece to replace the Obi-Wan version (since they used the oversized RO mold).
SO, I have the original ANH version (with complete set of Tarkin 2pk gloves), I'll have the Obi-Wan version as a battle damaged Vader, and then this guy. I also have the original ANH SS version and the 1st ESB/ROTJ Deluxe Exclusive SS version.
This base is cool, but if too large I'll display it behind him and use the extra Vader Tarkin 2pk stand I bought waaay back...
This will be the 1st time I have multiple HT figures on PO (3) for many many years... Obi-Wan Vader, this guy, and the ROTJ 3-PO...
I think that's a solid choice. I've owned both Rogue One and ESB versions; seeing as how both Kenobi and ROTJ versions are built off of those, respectively -- I'd do the same.Gonna stick with the Kenobi Vader. Only thing I care for from this release is the base he's on and maybe the Uncle Fester head, although I doubt I would ever leave him displayed with it. Would also never display him with the electrocuted helmet, as well done as it is.
