Looks amazing, but do you have any closer pics of Luke, and closer pics of Han where the lighting is a bit brighter?

The metallic hair color on Luke is one of my pet peeves with that fig.

I don't mean to derail the Vader thread, but in reply to your question
I only have these:

Those are so great! Like a shot from the movie.:clap

Maybe post in the Luke thread because that's your newest. I've been contemplating repainting Luke's copper-top hair, but blond/brown is really tough to get right. One of the reasons the recent SSC Luke X-Wing head wasn't great was because of the flat, bad hair paint. Really want to see a closer shot of your Luke repaint.

That Han is so night-and-day difference to the stock head. Yours looks so realistic.
 
Is this guy worth getting? It seems like there are many problems with it and it is more expensive than the rest of the figures. Mainly due to electronics that I would never use. I'm tempted to wait until they come out with an ESB version but that probably won't be for a long time.
 
My only issue with the Jazz repaints: they seem covered in dirt. Sorry to be the sole voice of the opposing side....I mean, they look very nice, but that looks like Luke Stormtrooper in Tatooine deco
 
Guys, just helping get the Vader thread back on topic. Here's a pic from Rebelscum:

what's the deal with this guy. How is BBTS in stock but not SS??

They've started to get figures to some of their dealers earlier, and in some cases it seems the figures are coming in multiple shipments so SS fulfills some of their pre-orders initially but not all until that second batch.

The electronics aren't that big of a deal anyway. Almost all of the main issues with the figure are with extra features that don't add that much anyway IMO. Otherwise, it is a very solid figure, with few major issues. It is still worth it if you like this version of Vader's costume. Of course, I bet there will be a reissue with slight changes if Rogue One includes Vader as a character.
