It’s been a week of ownership and I said I’d write down my full thoughts, but honestly it’s like any other Vader figure made my Hot Toys. I'm just happy Hot Toys got off their ass and redesigned the helmet, only reason why I picked this up to convert it to a ESB Vader, so I plan to sell off the extra accessories that came in the ROTJ deluxe set – haven’t even picked up the Shaw sculpt to inspect it lol.

Pipe dream would be to see what INART would do if they had the Disney licenses, I’d kill to see their take on a Vader figure. They’d nail the subtle details and everything else. That being said, what I have on display gets the job done. I keep gawking at it and because I feel this way, I’m looking to finally pull the trigger on the MMS268 Stormtrooper 2-pack. The elusive Snowtrooper 2-pack would be epic but the aftermarket price is too rich for my blood.

I know I’ve made mods to mine, but when discussing the stock ROTJ figure and discussing mods to enhance the ROTJ look, I’m not a fan of the stock belt since the electronic boxes are fixed and can’t be adjusted to be closer to the belt buckle. The stock boots are inaccurate looking and can be upgraded to the OWK boots. The cape – in how it drapes – is bad, but it does have the pleather lining that covers the neck as in ROTJ.

One of my relatives has a ROTJ-based display and is less picky that I am, so we’ll see if he decides to do any mods, but I’m looking forward to seeing him display this with his modded ROTJ Luke Skywalker.

I’m looking forward to seeing more people get this in, it’s a rad piece!

The ESB improvement aspect is the best bonus of this set. I actually like my ESB figure now.

I dream of an InArt Vader with the proper posture.

It totally works for those who already have the ESB Vader and want to display the Shaw portrait with the new one (which I myself wouldn’t do). I never brought myself to getting the ESB Vader, wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole personally.

INART Vader would be excellent, but honestly, this gets the job done.

It’s sublime, especially in person. Hopefully you get it soon!

Happy to report that I've also received my "shipping soon" notice!

Now all I'll need is an ROTS Vader to be announced...

Congrats!

ROTS Vader is a grail wishlist figure! Best Vader design of them all imo
