Have him on my desk and he is really amazing.

I remember reading in this thread somewhere that the DX27 or the MMS338 Vader bodies can be used as a swap on the too short ESB body. Is that true?

Depends on the helmet sculpt. I tried it myself but I seem to remember the R1 body with ESB head was an awkward fit. I think the attached peg from the ESB head was a bit too short for the MMS338 neck. For my ESB kit bash I ended up using the body, helmet, and shoulder armor from MMS338 with the ESB costume parts. Works for me.

Oh wow there goes my plans… will have to figure something else out.

Yeah, I noticed the taller stand, so I improvised my detolf. Go to the hardware store and get some of these. Works great!

Besides a little to big mouth triangle and a little to small noseplug this updated RoTJ sculpt is pretty much perfect, as good as if not better then the 1/4 scale figure. I was surprised today when taking a little time to recreating the lighting from scenes in episode 5 and 6 in a room how spot on this figure is, notably since they got the paint tone right this time it is like having Vader walk off the screen with the right lighting, it gets that uncanny realism effect their best headsculpts get when you look at them.

Out of the box this and dx28 clean mask both look really great but with the right lighting this figure jumps ahead and is imo their best Vader by quite a bit, and the Shaw sculpt is just the icing on the cake if the OT is your jam.
