well HT has lots of time to fix this and do an accurate vader. They have no excuse not to get this right.

Or more likely they've been forced into this stylized version by Disney.

He looks even bigger then 35 cm there. 
Given how accurate the Stormtroopers look, I am seriously wondering if Vader has to be this inaccurate stylized version we see here via some licensor mandate....no other explanation for HT getting Stormtroopers so right, and Vader so wrong

Thanks for the pic, momaw. Ben looks great, there, and love the two of them on display. I'm feeling pretty confident that we'll get some substantial tweaks with Vader by the time he's released, too.

If that's how they expect us to display the droid, I'm not doing it. Because it's in the way of Vader. Smh

With the way its stand fits, though, you could put it on any one of those DS bases. I'll have mine off to the side on a separate one, for sure. Agreed the way it is, it detracts from Vader.

Good idea. Still think they should've included a seperate base for it, though. Especially considering his price hike.

Yeah, not including it's own base is kinda chintzy, for sure. I'd have preferred just a simple, clear T-stand.
New pic from Secret Base.
Is it just me, or have they gone back to using the same stiff cape we got with the old Sideshow ANH Vader? The shape of it and the way it hangs looks awfully familiar...

Looks that way for the moment, but the cape isn't a big worry. Replaceable, may react well to steaming...although naturally no one wants to spend more money and effort on a $300.00 figure. Maybe it just needs steaming.
That Vader is huge to Ben. Ben is Luke height there in comparison. Means Bespin Luke will be Leia height. Means Leia will be... a good height.

Yeah, as it stands, Vader is still way too tall... Wth

...Means HT Yoda will be eye to eye with 80's Kenner Yoda...
Stormtroopers look great and I can't wait to get them but lets not kid ourselves that they are accurate and not stylised.
Han and Chewies both look good to me. But this Ben... I dunno. I'm just not convinced.

Ben looks good with the hood up but with it down he looks off.
