Well, I dodged almost every bullet. No scratches, lights work, cape is perfect, no broken tusks anywhere, nothing missing, paint is fine, etc., etc.; the only thing wrong is I got an a symmetrical helmet like someone recently posted. It's bugging me a little so if SS could give me a better one, why not take them up on it. It's not horrible and not the end of the world though. I'm just happy I got an all-around good one
I gotta say I'm way more impressed than I was expecting to be. Even bylooking at the best of the pics that have been posted so far, I thought it was a really good fig but not a great fig. It's a GREAT fig! Anyone with reservations or doubts... get it before it's gone!
I was sure that I was going to need to upgrade to a custom cape, but it's really not necessary. The cape & tunic are surprisingly good. Everything from head to toe is bad a$$ and even the skinny arms aren't as God awful as they were appearing in pics (still bad but not as bad as I was expecting). It was also a nice surprise to see the production Anakin sculpt come out so well. It's not HT level of paint but IMO it's better than Han, Luke, Snake or anything else SS has coming up.
It’s head and shoulders better than ANH Vader, but I’m keeping both. Something about it still feels SS and not HT though; maybe the hands or that ridiculous lit saber. It’s not pure perfection but actually the lit saber is my only real gripe with this set; that thing is horrible
