The only thing I don't love is that codpiece...

In 1977 it was called the "lived in look" -- a used universe -- and it was all the rage that changed sci-fi.
Now the OCD culture wants everything clean again, no finger prints.

Surprised a separate thread hasn't been started for R1 Vader, since it's now an official collectible figure.
Anyway, it looks pretty good to me. Those gloves look much improved over the ANH figure's gloves. I'm not too crazy about the cod piece though. Looks to be too soft. Then again, perhaps they opted to make it look like that in R1 for whatever reason, haven't seen the film yet obviously. Wonder if they improved the belt also in not making it so flimsy? I'm sure they have to be aware of the ANH Vader belt fiasco.
Nice looking figure, but perfectly happy with my ANH Vader. I only need one representation of him.
Edit: Nevermind, TonTon apparently made a thread for it.

The R1 does look nice but no more 1/6 scale for me anymore too much $$. I'm trying to sell my HT ANH Vader unopened if anyone is interested..................

Heat up the hand in some boiling water or use a hair dryer to soften the plastic. It pops on much easier.
Yeah I've found it very helpful to have one of these embossing heat guns around for stuff like that, that I picked up at a craft store. It heats stuff up a lot faster than a blow dryer and doesn't require dunking everything in hot water all the time. 
And you have to love the codpiece to be happy...?
Funny enough, the R1 cod piece actually covers the crotch....

But looks like a space diaper.
Yeah, it kinda does....hopefully the cape will cover it. Amazing how they can't just recreate the iconic costume. Movie maker types always think they know better.....

Although I love this Vader, I think I may have to put this one up for sale with the new RO version coming soon.
