Other than getting this Hot Toys figure because I am a Vader collector, I do have to point out that this is by far the most accurate Vader in 1/6 scale to date.
I would presume, based on Hot Toys track record regarding non human inorganic sculpts like iron man, we can realistically expect the to improve upon the existing Vader if not keep on par. So any empire version would be at least as good, if not better and so on with the subsequent releases.
Unless another toy company comes along to trump Hot Toys, or if Hot Toys has another renaissance and their quality makes another leaps-and-bounds jump since the release of their Godfather Don Corleone, this Vader figure will be the cream of the crop for a while....
The Helmet is almost a carbon copy of the prop except the dome in profile, but it's damn good.
The chest armour is still very sideshow anh looking ... And the glove implementation sucks, but it's overall a most impressive figure. The price is a little steep, but they've added more value to the set since it was announced and even improved upon the prototype down to the last minute, which is somewhat of a feat for anyone who is familiar with how a company manufactures and schedules deadlines....
I for one am very impressed. I've always appreciated a company that put so much care and effort into a mass produced product even knowing that it would sell almost no matter what or how little effort went into it...it shows that this company approaches Star Wars as a passion project...

when I saw them I just knew I had to make sure they were shared here.
