I think having the unmasked head as an option at least will be nice even if I don’t use it all the time.

I could see HT release of a ROTJ Vader then pull an unmasked/removable helmet one as the SDCC exclusive. Sound familiar??

I think if anything the more likely scenario would be a battle damaged Vader with the damaged helmet/mask and maybe the cut off hand. Maybe they’ll just make it a standard and deluxe situation.

Took a couple pics of my Two Lukes today. The ROTJ came in while I was on vacation, and just opened it. The ESB head I swapped a couple of weeks ago, but did the final paint today.
No it's the old SS version...all stock..
It's still a nice figure but could do with a body swap.
Great shots! Exactly the same look and feel from the movie
Looks like I need Boba Fett too. Oh my wallet...
Awesome photos matrix!!
Great stuff!
Nice shots scottjua

Wow, great job! I think the head sculpt looks better with the ESB hair and Bespin costume than it does with the stock ROTJ hair and Jedi costume.
Congrats on how that turned out. I'm actually floored by that last outdoor pic and how great of a likeness the 3/4 angle produces on the Bespin version. You blew my mind with that one! Really impressive and inspiring stuff. Thank you for sharing these pics.

I had to dremel both the hairpiece and the head a bit.

Got an early process notification today, shipping tomorrow, and ill have it saturday. 
Agreed on the strong likeness with that outdoor shot. Really nice paint work too.
This is my problem with it. To look at, it looks perfect to me. However trying to get the arms into more action poses is impossible. I tried to get him into this pose last night. The legs are fine but the arms are impossible to get straightened out into that position, particularly the right arm.
Is this to do with the fat suit? This is the pose I want to use when ESB Vader comes later this year.
A few posts back, someone said the fat suit was pinched up into Luke’s armpits. He took off Luke’s shirt and unbunched the fat suit from the joints and can now pose Luke with his arms higher.

My thought was to cut slits out of the fat suit in the joint areas....

Is his shirt sewed on or does it come off easily? I’d like to do the fat suit mod.
I started to strip him down the other day and it looked like it would be a booger to take off.

It has a rubber band in the lower part, that goes through the legs.
This is the steps to be followed.
1. Remove the head and hands.
2. Take the boots off
3. Take the pants off pulling from the ankle area
4. Bend one leg in the knee and take the rubber band off
5. Remove the shirt
6. Remove the fat suit starting with the shoulders and sliding it down.
All have to be done not forcing it at all.
Hope that helps.
Nice work...i took the same route..but used an orangey brown..
