Nice. Nice. Not thrilling, but nice.
 
It's the best I've seen that figure look so far. I still think that it's the best out-of-box version, based solely on photos.

My 7 year old self's head would explode, seeing that. ;)

I have no intention to get this and I was about to unsubscribe to this thread. But the Disney pics have me curious enough to watch things unfold.

I had the exact same thoughts. Still I'm curious how this will be when finally released.
 
Thanks guys. I have decided and would get the HT version of Vader. Seems that the SSC one is a little too skinny. Maybe it's just me, but I think that the HT Vader is definitely more imposing.

Maybe one day, I'll be able to get both.
 
What the heck is up with his crotch guard? It looks like it's riding WAY too high. The helmet looks nice- From below, but I want better straight on shots. Not convinced that I will get this--yet.

Actually that's the best I have seen him look too...helmet looks pretty decent from that angle...I cant get over the silver nose piece insert though. :slap

...and why does everyone always insist on posing Vader wide legged in a action stance? I don't get it, Vader never looks like that and it ruins his look and vibe.

I think you went to sign! Seems that who makes the display have never seen Star Wars!! Why that poses!? I hope to see some better pics of him when someone of you put him in a movie accurate pose!

I think HT now probably sees that the chest box is waaay too small. So they are trying to compensate by shifting the belt up and that requires the crotch guard to go up too...


JUST FIX THE DAMN CHEST BOX!!!
 
Wow, Vader is starting to look good.

After the Stormies, I'm getting scared every time I look in this thread that Vader is on sale in HK...
 
Well, the belt and cod was riding a little high in ANH, so that's not entirely inaccurate on that figure. The chest armor is still sitting too high, though and more like it looks on the ESB/RotJ. Dave Prowse simply wasn't as pumped in ANH as he was in the later movies, which is why the chest armor is hanging more vertical in ANH than the rest.
