For ****'s sake Jazz that is the best dio I've seen.

No disrespect to the other good ones out there, but this is also versatile - all the characters look great placed in there.
 
My Vader

did some slight weathering on the belt , also repainted the grey buttons dark grey ( from the books i have about the costume I m pretty sure they are a darker grey then the hot toys grey - let me know if I am mistaken ) .
Other then the voice problems i think this is pretty much perfect except i want to chang ethe coour of the shoulder armour chest armour piece , it doesnt seem correct . I m sure Hot Toys could of done it but were worried that people would think it was shoddy paint and not buy it . ( thats my theory ). I think hes great , i wish though i kept my original ANH Sideshow vader, I would so use the gloves from that .

I also repainted the red square on his chest piece because the HT one was too dark

I used tamiya gloss clear on the shins, but used a light spray so it wasnt full gloss. My Costumes book says they are semi gloss to gloss

Tall storm trooper body from the set. Short one is standing in the corner
 
I was okay with waiting but these last few pages are making me jealous. Sideshow needs to ship that next batch already!
