I'm looking at the sculpt not as a Star Wars fan, but as a fan of Hammer Horror and Peter Cushing. I've seen every Hammer film ever made multiple times, and probably every film Cushing has been in- horror, sci-fi or otherwise. The unaltered sculpt looks more like Peter, although I wish they had given him bags under his eyes, and a bit more pink around the rims of his eyes- like Tarkin never gets any sleep. You can see in the photos above that the under-eye bags should be more pronounced; makes him look older and less healthy too.
I know these two things can be fixed with a partial repaint, so I'm not too upset about it.

That image is taken from a fairly low angle, making the face seem shorter. Other pics seem to show it better and more evenly proportioned.
There it is! Just from a different angle the length of the face looks much better. Thanks Tali

I plan to have Emperor, Vader and Tarkin lined up.

he don't need no chair. he always stood behind the chair with tarkin and stood behind the throne with the emperor. just like a body guard .

Yeah but Vader might throw a temper tantrum if he sees Palps & Tarkin have a chair and he doesn't !

Don't worry I'll probably sell my Tarkin chair so they can stand next to the throne.

If Vader wants to sit down, he can go back to his metal time-out ball.

Holy!!
This sculpt definitely puts the Sideshow Premium Format to shame I even like the blue cap radiation dosimeters aka Imperial Code cylinders.
Those hands.........
This figure could use a set of sculpted forearms to achieve his iconic look. Ssc did this with a few of their dead figures. I mean it's not like he needs to hold anything. (Don't say Vader leash either...
Yes , no, maybe..........
Agreed!

To be fair, the Sideshow PF is a decade old and is still one of my favorites. Can't disagree that this HT sculpt is on a whole new level though...Amazing!

And it's 1/6 poseable. How cool is that !!!
How, exactly, does he drink through that mask without a straw?Or he could just stand and drink his coffee.
Just pour it through the grate and hope for the best I guess.

Duh....
Be funny if the artist drew another panel with Vader taking a drink and the coffee running down the mask and his clothes while he continues on with the scene like nothing's happening I'm not sure if the artist was trying to be funny, or was trying to make a statement about how bad-ass Vader is--he can casually drink a coffee AND choke a ***** at the SAME TIME!
