Ok so I stole an idea I saw from another member (sorry can't remember who...) but they had a good idea and wanted to show how it turned out...
I picked up an ironman stand and a couple of the VOTC figures off ebay. For the money you can not beat them! $25 and they are a killer accent to vader. May not be as "perfect" as the sideshow / medicom figures... But pretty darn good on the cheap!!
Really makes a good display in the case.

I picked up one of those too after seeing his idea �� but I didn't realize how big it is! Is yours in a Detolf? If so I'm going to need to get me one.
Keeping this or any new figure MISB for long periods isn't a good idea, for the following reason: The plastics (and maybe paints too) used in producing the armor, helmet, etc. are not fully cured, even though they look and feel solid. That is why we have that 'new toy smell'. The chemicals in those materials are still producing vapors, and will continue to do so for months. If the figure (especially Vader's helmet) remains in physical contact with the clamshell packaging, there could easily be a chemical interaction which causes marks on the glossy surface. I strongly urge you to take your figures OUT of the box, perhaps stand them with a zip-lock bag loosely covering them with the bag open at the feet, (that's what I do) for a period of months. Then you can safely return them to their boxes later.I'm keeping this one MISB which is about most of my collection .
I emailed SSC returns department last Wednesday and my replacement helmet arrived today. So it took 6 days from one email to the arrival of the replacement. That's what I call service! Didn't ask for photos of the original damaged one either.
And SSC would need to recoup costs associated with those replacements somehow. Won't be surprised if prices on future figures continue to rise.
And this is Vader (beware lots of 'naughty' language):

Finally.. got my Vader. First thing I did (besides putting the Anakin head on eBay) was to check for defects. Tusks are intact, helmet clean, light up gimmicks working, cape.. arrrrhhhhh.. while not as bad as I've seen in some pictures on here it's definitely not perfect. It doesn't really bother me but I might request a new one just off of principle. These figures cost too much to accept less than the best they can do. This is my first Sideshow figure as well so they need to wow me. I'm extremely happy with the figure overall though.
My setup..
Started from the bottom..
Now we here...
Hasbro Stormies.. works for me! I wasn't going to use the base but #1.. it fit too perfect for me to ignore and #2.. I was not comfortable with Vader standing on his own. The idea of having steps in the back went out the window when I saw just how big and wide Vader is with that cape. Now I just need to find a background and I'm good. Someone suggested that I add red LED lights beneath the Storm Troopers. I may do that eventually.
