What is really like to see is a deluxe sideshow up next to a rogue one vader. I almost pulled the trigger on him but held off because I have the deluxe which I've never found issues with personally outside the gloves.

My SS Vader is in my living room while my HT Vader is in a drawer in my bedroom only cause I got him last. HT is great but so it's SS's. Buy which ever one you can get cheaper is my advice. U are being swindled otherwise.

my 1 1/2 cents if its worth that on the comparison of the deluxe vader vs. HT vader.

In my opinion the best choice is a mix of both as stated before each have their strengths and weakness. However, where one is weak the other is strong hence a mix will bring the best product.

I have the deluxe vader that I've had for a few years now. I picked it up at a steal for $110. My only real issue with it is the body and suit. Which I am in the process of upgrading with a RO body and suit but keeping everything else from the sideshow version.

Sideshow Deluxe strongest points
Base
Light up chest box/belt
Anakin sculpt

Weakest points
Body
Suit

Swap out the suit and body for a HT upgrade and I think you have probably the best vader available at the moment.
 
Can't take your opinion seriously if you don't have a problem with the sideshow mask and helmet ��

The helmet issue is one of the most talked about so I felt no need to rehash that. But I honestly don't think its all that bad. The HT version is much better but there are still a lot of nit picks about the HT version too.

Here is mine which is a mix of Sideshow and HT

Can you tell me what is HT and what is Sideshow? Here is a hint its not 100% HT and its not 100% Sideshow

Hey jacerc130, that looks great. I've settled on a similar combination of parts, except I have the V2 SS cape, armor, and gloves. I've filp-flopped with the RO armor many times, but settled on the SS one because I prefer the way the cape drapes over it.

Is that your custom air freshener mask?

Yup, it's the air freshener head, but with a RO dome. I wouldn't have the cajones to carve out a bigger chin vent on a real HT head.

That freshener head looks a billion times better than sideshow's work. Ironic
