Even before ssc really.. ssc has only sent a very small percentage of these out to people. Most of us are just waiting twiddling our thumbs wondering when we will be getting a ship soon notification. Couple be next week, next month or November or December.. no one knows, especially ssc.
Finally opened him (had him for a few weeks), and yep - this is easily the best Vader Hot Toys have ever done.
I believe this is what the ESB Vader's helmet should've looked like (despite holding very high regard for that figure for being my first HT ever and I still keep him).
Really waffling on this one, whether I want to keep my preorder or just go and order the quarter scale version. The price difference out there isn't that much!
Did anyone else find the process of attaching the 2 additional heads to the mini stands on the base (Deluxe version) to be painful? I feel like a lot of pressure needs to be added for them to fit. Are they supposed to click at a certain point or do they just need to be lightly attached until they stop moving?
At the end I decided to keep mine in the box as I don't want to apply too much pressure trying to fiddle them lol.

Has anyone tried body swapping this with the more lanky dx28 body? I'm on the fence about this guy because I prefer the body proportions of my dx28 Vader, but I'd just much rather have an OT Vader than one from a show I didn't enjoy lol
My detolfs are mess so for now, Vader takes his place amongst the villains of the OT. I hope to try a dynamic pose with the stairs soon but I’m not so great at making decent looking action scenes.
