Agreed about Maul. Im not a prequel fan in any sense, but Maul actually looks like the actor that played him in makeup, its that good.

Well, I wouldnt say vastly different, but yeah, the costume used in each film is actually completely remade each time. The biggest differences usually being the helmet and in ANHs case, the cloak being over the shoulders instead of underneath.
Some more detailed pictures

You dont want figuarts Vader then, he is really short. I would go with Mafex or the model kit, though unless you have a black series Vader to use the soft goods the model kit becomes a brick due to the hard plastic cape and skirt piece.Ok, yeah, fair enough, but, just the one Vader will do me. As long as he's tall and can duel with Luke I'll be happy.

Yep, scales perfectly with the shf luke as well.
He does look good, did you repaint the hair!? That would be the only thing I'd do to mine. We've seen that, if done carefully, both Mafex and Figuarts can be disassembled, I wonder, could the upper body from the Figuarts Vader be mated to the lower body of the Mafex?
I'll check on my way home nowI was thinking out loud a bit there and meant that Mafex and Figuarts figures in general come apart. The joints will have been snapped together in order for them to move so freely, so it would follow that they would come apart. I've seen the SHF Maul pops apart at the waist, one would assume that the others would too. The only conversion I've actually seen has been the Bandai model kit head on the Mafex Vader. If that can be done then something else might be possible. Both Vaders look to have similar waist joints. I guess someone with both figures will have to take one for the team and see....
Agreed I'm actually in the process of toying with my vader if this doesn't work I will likely cut the thigh and add some height probably a 1/4 inch would doCool, if a decent hybrid could be done then it'd be win win for both companies as people would buy both figures. With a taller lower body it would be worth putting the Mafex cloak on the SHF upper body.
Thought about that too. I'm even curious if the bandai model kit vader could be swapped. If I extend them myself I'll likely do it like on my Dooku.Sounds like a plan, and the inner cloak would hide some of that. What about putting the Mafex legs onto the SHF?
