Kinda weird that this is supposedly available and not one review or mention of anywhere

Doesn't look too bad there
Got him a day early. Here?s a pic of him straight out of the box, haven?t had time to futz him yet. First impressions are positive, he feels really solid. I don?t know how long his rubber suit will last, but hey, it looks good. I?ll post some more pics later after I mess with him a bit more.

He really can do the kneeling pose, quite easily actually. Only problem with it is he has limited ab crunch. His suit feels good over the metal skeleton frame. Its rubber, so I do question how long it will last, but its not constricting. His boots are also a soft rubber that allow for surprisingly good ankle articulation with help from the metal joint. The cod piece is a soft plastic that allows for good range of motion with his legs. Gloves, shin guards, shoulder pads, and helmet are hard plastic. Chest piece is a soft plastic like the cod piece. Paint apps seem pretty good for the most part. My biggest gripes so far are lack of a link to hold the cape chain, and the lightsaber hilt looks a little cheap in my opinion. Overall, I?m really happy with it and think $50-80 is a good price point.
I cant comment on how screen accurate he is as Im not a Vader buff, but it?s supposed to be his ESB look. If you want more photos or to see him in a certain pose I can do my best to oblige.
For that price range I think it?s a decent rendition of Vader. The chain for the cape looks cheap, but apart from that it looks decent to my eyes. Interested to see how Luke turns out as all we?ve had to go by is CGI images so far...
I dont get the complaints about it having rubber underneath. It's covered up by cloth, so it will last just fine. These are similiar to mego 8" scale which are in more in line of like a Hot Toys mego in detail
