This shouldn't be compared to ANH...i was making the comparison between the chestbox on the R1 fig to the screen costum...and the buttons/slots look to be too small...

They're actually pretty close. I think in the pic you've quoted the flash is hiding the coin slot bases.

Here's a frame grab from that fantastic true light review of the HT RO Vader on left, the RO costume on the right...

Now that we've got more in hand pics, I'm glad to see my initial impression holds true: best out-of-the-box Vader figure by a good margin. Glad to see others think so too.

Personally, I'm loving the look of the figure. It obviously doesn't match any onscreen version from the OT, but it has a serious OT "vibe" or "look". I think what makes it work so well for me is that it looks like a mashup of ANH and ESB Vaders. And those two are the two "definitive" Vader looks in my book. That combined with the small detail improvements (such as getting the eye sockets painted black, better shaped shoulder bells, shin straps, etc.) really set this guy apart.
 
That's the point I've been trying to make its not supposed to match any on-screen Vader except the R1 so comparing the figure to any other is pointless
 
So.....
Irrut (blind Chinese guy) gets a deluxe version
Jynn Erso gets a deluxe version.
Death trooper gets a deluxe version

I'm seeing a trend here..........

Why wouldn't their cash cow Vader get a deluxe version ???

I'm waiting a bit on this one.

Because its still to come...? :horror

It's like Joker all over again. Sell the "inferior" first before film opens, then offer a "make-up" version after... with saber!

Doesn't this come with the saber? I'm pretty sure it's in the unboxing pics. It's just hush hush right now because reasons.
 
He's clearly introducing himself to some new Imperials...


"Hi, how are you? Darth Vader, Emperor's right hand, black menace, Dark Lord of.... oh, you know that? Right. Well, welcome to the Empire."

You may dispense with the pleasantries. I'm here to put you back on schedule. :lol
