Pretty much any pose that isn't acrobatic suits him. I think you can do most of the classic poses and some fresh ones. Just not the crossed arms stance from Revenge of the Sith.

Yeah that's one thing that bugged me considering the TT that was used for RO has great butterfly jointed shoulders so the arms can easily cross but the sleeve material kind of restricts the arms.
Also the missing right fist doesn't help either
Since I pre-ordered mine at SS the day it came out for PO I have to wait but is anyone who buys him got the special double sided backdrop?
It says it was only for PO which I'm guessing anyone that ordered it at SS is getting the background but I guess what I'm asking is does it still come with the background that is single sided or just a stand.
I plan on just using the silver cutout side most likely.

I thought he looked kinda silly with the crossed arms myself. Not sure why anyone would really want to duplicate it.

I think he pulls off the look fine. It's more intimidating than having his hands on his belt. Although, not seeing them at all might be even more intimidating, lol.

Did anyone have an issue with one of the shoulder guards coming off ? Looks like the glue dried out anyone experience that with Vader out of the box?

Yep that pose will be happening.

Not that it shouldn't have happened, but isn't that an easy fix? Just dab on some super glue and reconnect the plate. I don't think it's a widespread issue. Sometimes they just poorly apply the glues.

So, are they all sold out? I know this isn't a sideshow exclusive but it seems they are gone everywhere.
Boot and armor comparison..ANH version on the left. The R1 boot armor is a complete new sculpt and not accurate to ANH and it's also ill-fitting on the boot. My preference is towards the ANH version as for me the look and fit are better...View attachment 315203View attachment 315204View attachment 315205
Hilt comparison with ANH version...oddly R1 is more accurate to TESB hilt... View attachment 315207View attachment 315208View attachment 315209

As I mentioned previously, I think they produced a lot of "newer" parts on the RO figure with the ESB figure in mind. The revamped Reeve Superman body, the chest armour, the larger chest box, tailored leather suit and the sabre hilt could all be used again with very little cost.
$450!?!?!? Why so much mine was like $220 at SS with the preorder bonus stand. That stinks I'm sorry it cost you so much.

So that's the background SS said only came with PO on their site. It has the cut outs on the other side?
Hmm, looks like the new shin guards are just a lot narrower than the others. Wonder if it might be possible to warm them up and widen them out so they fit better?
I see it's also a lot narrower at the knee and has an additional band across the bottom. Is that more accurate to ANH or ESB, or just some weird change they made for RO? Because I can't say I've ever paid much attention to the design of the shin guards before. Lol

Having taken the outfit completely apart piece by piece, not sure heating and expanding the shin guards will make a difference. It's pretty much a very sharp piece of fixed plastic . The kind I've seen before in gundam models in which if you try to expand it, it will probably curl up back to its original form when it is dried.
It also could crack, break or split when trying to widen it as well.
You could try elastics and wrapping them around the the bottom part of the shin guard more tightly to the boots .
