They may not be close to making one, but I'm sure he crosses everyone's minds when they develop different things, I'm sure some thought was put in when making the Vader body, could we use it somehow.

I hope they talk to HT since they are doing those POTA figures.
 
Are people looking at a specific reference shot when they say the dome is off? As I've pointed out many times, the helmet was different from scene to scene even in ANH. Looking at the Marmit prototype the whole mask and especially the dome is way, way off, yet people were saying that was great before.

As for this body and Chewie - Vader is much too bulky for Chewie - it wouldn't work at all.

Maybe SS could use the body for a Darth Nihlus.
That guy was ginormous (yes thats in the dictionary)

top of the dome is wider and the flares are wider.

In this shot, it looks even smaller. Even Hans noggin looks bigger.

Again, from the side, it looks great. Straight on it is too narrow.
 
I wish the "Diplomatic Mission" Vader (not to mention the PF) was painted as prop accurate (it does have the red lenses), that is a very nice detail on the 1/6 fig.

I hate to agree with this statement, but unfortunately it's 100% true. As great as the rest of this figure looks(and it does look fantastic) that dome is way too small when looking at is straight on. It looks like they gave him a Beetlejuice head.

:lol!!

Just kidding, actually it's just the helmet,
the head looks good IMO...
 
According to the Rebelscum photo archive, DM dio does have the lenses.

I'm not sure if you are referencing me or not, but I said it HAD the lenses but not the asymetrical paint on the mask that I wish it did.
