Excellent mod!
Matrix, perfect timing -- you have a new Vader to try now.

so the "new" vader that comes with tarkin.. is that the rogue one version basically??
Looks like ANH basically with RO gloves and a slightly duller dome.
New vader?...oh you mean the old vader or ANH/R1 bash that's just been re-released...na i'm waiting for the ROTJ vader/emperor twopack
..Only the chest armor and cape are from the R1 version as both are more accurate to ANH. Gloves are custom and the body is still ANH which works fine for me..i stiil like listening to JEJ's dulcet tones..

I used the kayido chest plate that Hurricane made for me as for the helmet and mask that he also made for me as well. I did not like the HT ANH vader mask it just did not look right. I guess I have to find the RO cape then

Interesting about the chest armor, I'll have to hold on to mine. The ANH inner robe fits well over it?

Next to Tarkin in the pics, the body on this Tarkin/Vader two-pack Vader does seem a bit shorter than either the HT ANH or HT RO Vaders.
Or Tarkin is taller. His boots look funky. Like his heel is high against the boot. It might be to prop him up a bit for pics.
Yeah could be - maybe Cushing was one of those over-6' guys back then.
Pleather boots are really something to avoid. People like them because they feel more high-end than sculpted plastic but my guess is that all of them - HT included - go septic in 5-10 years depending on climate.
They also rarely look right because of the need to curve the pleather fabric (the foot part is always too high/thick.) The HT Han TFA ones were the best pleather boots I've ever seen, but feel really delicate.
I've got quite a few pleather boots and that stresses me out, because I've seen what happens to even the best DID boots that go crumbly.

He is indeed 6 feet. 6.2 with boots.... 6.0 in slippers.

even in the movie I always thought tarkin looked pretty tall next to vader
Why don't other US retailers have this yet? Sideshow pulling some tricks? Let us get Tarkin pre-orders for a full day before we open it up.
