So I guess Vader still has that horrible looking helmet we saw in those sneaky pictures.
That is highly disappointing if that will be the final figure. Keep in mind Old Ben Kenobi still looks unfinished/off/bad in the promo shots as well, so maybe the Ben and Vader will be tweaked before release, cuz they need some work right now
If Vader is not changed, I will have to reconsider his purchase.
Not really interested in a whole discussion, just gonna chip in, for me the new Mafex R1 Vader is great. It's accurate to, obviously, Rogue 1 (yes the crotch included, pause at the right moment in the hall way scene.). That might put off some people, but for me it's enough and after a long look at both that one and the 40th, I chose the Mafex one and just gonna mod his fabric skirt. Also LOVE the red lenses, they look fantastic. You can obviously paint them black and go to town with more paint to make an Empire/RotJ version, mostly. I personally feel it looks better than the 40th +articulation/accessories.
So yeah, as disappointing as Tamashii ****ing up a second time is, if you want a good Vader in import quality, R1 is good enough for me. (And easily the best import Vader so far.)

Crap i missed the Rey preorder at hlj, I can get it at cd Japan but I didn't want to pay in full upfront
Old Ben promo shots? As in not at a convention? I've not seen these!
With how superior Mafex's Phasma is, why would anyone get this version is beyond me. Even the Hasbro BS version is better than this.
So I want the droids. The only way to get them is to order the preorder bundles? Is that right?
From my experience, HLJ preorders sell out much quicker than amiami. And once in stock, hlj stock lingers for longer cause their discounts are ridiculous, like five per cent or zero per cent as is the case with mnay figmas.
