I love everything about that version of the character. All about Bond Villain-style Vader

Darth Vader is better than any Bond villain that has appeared in 24 Bond films.

Heres a pic of mine (posted before in another thread).

No mods were done at all, just a little futzing and adjusting of his belt & codpeice. Hope this helps! Its a beautiful figure straight out of the box imo

Looks great, thank you.

I notice everyone takes photos below eye level. Is that to help with the helmet misplacement? The futzing makes all the difference. I think I'm going to pull the trigger this week.

I think with Vader it's more what we're used to seeing in the movies, but with this helmet in particular I think above is it's worst angle. Face mask starts to have a bit of the look of the prototype that had everyone running for the hills.

Ah, yeah....I guess I'm going to have to pose him at eye level or slightly above. Of course I'm dreading the paint mods...

I looked at your picture here before I read your post, and I was thinking, "wow, that shot resembles the original prototype", and my feet subtlety started pointing towards the hills...
