Creepily life-like... And I'm really digging the chair too... Definitely one of the best!!

Need a fig of this guy to join him. Tarkin looks terrific, only let down by the unsightly wrist pegs when his arms are bent.

For those wanting to get rid of the wrinkles from the uniform...steam them...pop off the head and boots etc...then hold the figure over a kettle or pan of boiling water

I used my steamer on the Iron Studios Vader cape, I guess there is still water in it to use on Tarkin when it arrives and if it needs.

I really would like to buy the 2-pack. But, man....The Lat Jedi has just really shaken the foundation of everything that made Star Wars what it was.

I mean,...if I purchase the 2-pack,...I am technically supporting Disney, right? That said, i do like the OT vibe of the pair,...I don't have a Vader, just a HT Bespin Luke and Medicom ROTJ Boba Fett. I like the chair too.

I can't believe this kind of debate in my mind even exists.

Really not liking any of the raised-hands poses - partly the hands, partly the too-short sleeves. He looks best with arms behind or at his sides - posed that way he really looks like a living person.

I could live with the short sleeves, but it's the giant hands that really stand out to me. And it doesn't help that they're on those smaller wrist pegs. I wonder if it might help to switch out to some larger pegs, so there's less of a size jump there...

It is but I feel like it's also having a voice to tell them we don't want the new TLJ garbage we want the OT stuff or more stuff like R1 which feels like it belongs to SW. That's how I justify continuing buying figures at least. haha Honestly even if they continue making crap i will always love R1, OT, and really like TFA and will still buy figs from R1 and OT.

I'm not a prequel fan but still enjoy the OT and Rogue One, enjoyed TFA a couple of times but no lasting power, don't dig TLJ. Just pick and choose.

Disney doesn't think about you, so don't think about Disney. Just get the stuff you like...or don't.

can the led arm for this vader be used on the RO ver?

Don't let a dreadful 'what If' story get in the way of the holy trilogy.

We put up with Anakin 'oops' and Jar Jar.
We have had multiple expanded universe theories for over 2 decades. Some good and some bad. I just look on TLJ as a very poor non Canon story wrote and created by a committee of people who do not understand the subject matter.

That was not Luke Skywalker. Not Leia. Not Yoda etc. It was trash.

Tarkin is awesome. He is a key figure in the birth of the greatest trilogy in film history that changed cinema and merchandise for ever.

So he is a must have imo.

Just got mine yesterday, our cat has annexed the box so I haven't bothered opening it yet.

The cat shouldn’t tell you what to do hahahaha

As much as I like the hands behind the back, I hate not seeing the arms and cuffs.

Trying to decide between arms at side or one-arm behind back...

 

[user 19388]

Down to the sides looks best

 

[SilverStar17]

No upward finger point with the other hand at his side?

You can't go wrong either way. This guy is a beast!

Tried it. Shows the damn wrist joint no matter what.

Try some double sided tape inside the cuffs so it doesn't slide down

 

[illproxy]

anyone tried the vader led arm on the RO ver? im guessing arms must be same and it could work?

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

One hand behind his back looks like he is crossing his fingers. Maybe this is a deleted scene with Leia. "If you tell me where your base is, Alderaan will not be harmed"
