Yes, it’s the exact same mechanism like the prior belts. There’s the button on the right that can snap on and off to remove the belt or snap it together.

Any pics from when you took the belt off by chance. Previous belts have just been a hole and peg type of thing. When I tried to take the belt off of mine, it looks like it was kind of a little nut and bolt type of situation going on back there. Is there an actual snap now or just tell the hole and peg thing I’m confused. Thanks.
Agreed, the OWK boots diameter is less than the ROTJ boots, so it was a challenge stuffing the pant material through the boots, but it was doable. I basically pinched the material and eased it inside the boots while pulling up on the boots simultaneously. It’s a bit tight, but I think it looks fine, especially since the bottom “skirt” hides some leftover bunching of the material that I could not get inside the boots.
Also, attached is a picture of the subtle differences between the OWK (left) and ROTJ (right) Vader boots for anyone interested in doing the mod. The OWK boots are indeed more screen-accurate and they add more height/length to the legs which I like, the stock height seems a touch too stumpy to me. I personally found it to be worth it.
It’s the same snap-on mechanism as prior Vader belts where you can snap the right button on/off.

Just a little freaky
Hi all, I just received my MMS699 ROTJ Darth Vader and would like to check if the gap as shown in the red highlight area is normal?
Is yours the same and not flushed/aligned such that the gap is not present?
Any photos can be shared for reference would be appreciated!

Since the mask comes apart there is a separation line there, but it appears your is not fully flush together as seen by the little gap behind the tusks. It has a tighter fit on mine, try to take the helm apart as if to swap in the Shaw head then reassemble it, should fix it
Like rayeknor mentioned, if you take it apart and reassemble, it should line up more flush. I also thought the same as you when I first unboxed it and thought mine came defective, but my worries instantly disappeared when I put it back together and pressed down on it to make it sit more flush. The nature of the asymmetrical design also lends to the “wonky” feel but it’s supposed to be that way.
It’s been a while since I’ve gawked at a figure. I notice I find myself doing that when I place said figure on my nightstand lol and watch the film the figure is from. This Vader figure is that good to me, imo.
His boots are not bothering me as much as the cape. Need a proper custom cape 100%
I used the ANH cape and it works well enough, but that’s for a ESB look with the narrower cape collar that tucks under the neck.
For a ROTJ look, you’d still need to find a custom cape that has the pleather lining cape collar that’s wide enough to be able to fit over the neck.
The one thing I would like to change -- besides a good body that can put its arms down by its sides -- is a cape that flows, folds and lays flat across the shoulders.
Please hit me up if you find one
I'm not actively looking, but if I stumble on one I'll post it here.
Honestly, the ANH and ESB capes are good -- too long but good -- maybe they could be made better by eliminating that dual-layer? One layer would be sufficient and likely lay better across the shoulders and maybe even be able to roll folds even tighter.

I must be the only person who thinks the RotJ cape HT made is really good. 
With the OWK boots mod, the cape length is great. Doesn’t even bottom out and hangs where it should, per what I’ve referenced. Maybe you prefer it higher closer to the ankles?
So am I allowed to post ESB pics in here (since I converted the ROTJ Vader into an ESB version) or do I need to post them in the ESB Vader thread? Lol.
