I had a chance to spend some time with this one and compares to my ESB/R1 kitbash.
First observations, I like the new helmet and the new gloves are a DREAM. I particularly appreciate the new relaxed hands. The cape? No thank you. My drape cape from Jaxon Xu is a big improvement, but he still looks frumpy. Might be the body, but his pants look more thick and loose than any other Vader I've seen. Am I wrong?
I find myself limited with the amount of futzing I can do, because the belt is TIGHT will not unfasten. I know OWK Vader had a "stuck" belt you had to slide down his legs and boots to actually remove. Is that the case here? If so, it is not budging. The belt is even tighter than the codpiece, so it has to rest above it. Not a fan.
My helmet did have a few scuffs and scratches on it, but after some buffing with cape cod polishing cloth it looks better.
Lastly, if anyone was wondering if the ROTJ helmet can fit on the OWK/R1 body, it can indeed.
