Well, part of the fun is futzing/customizing.

Where is this on their site?

This is called "DARTH VADER DELUXE SIXTH SCALE FIGURE"

What is the "DELUXE" stand for? Does this only mean paying more $$$ than the average?

 

[pixletwin]

He comes with the Helmet, another 3 piece helmet (not wearable), and a reveal headsculpt. Aside from that, I'm not sure what the delux stands for.

 

[highlander1]

A pretty cool imperial light up stand i think, ton of hands two piece helmet and 2nd hs ,a new shorter body is all i hear......

I think Lord Vader left his dome in the dryer too long....

I usually hate nit-picking... but man... dome doesn't look good again...
How come Hasbro can do a better job than SS in that regards... ...

I really hope they show come pics of it with HT Luke though!

Cool looking Hoth corridor and Snowtrooper in the BG!

I smell a new environment in the pipes! A little snow backdrop for a few Snowtroopers and the cannon would look cool, IMO.

 

[Kuzeh]

Considering the Jabba archway is now on sale and gift card available I doubt it...

 

[Kibagami]

You guys are rogue scholars on Vader; I don't see the imperfections.

 

[galactiboy]

More so than any imperfections... its just a poorly posed and adjusted figure. Same with the ANH figure, looks good out of the box, but adjust the straps, clothing and cape a bit and it looks better.

This is just a terrible photo.

 

[Matt S]

From that pic, dome looks too small....

I'd agree with that...

3 decades of reference material, 2nd attempt, massive delay and they still can't get the most fundamental and iconic part of Vader right?
Sideshow hang your heads in shame and pass the licence to a company who can do iconic characters like this justice.
What a disgrace.

 

[PopCultKid]

Exactly. I am sure the figure will kick ass but to show it just kind of thrown together... especially after the shoddy SDCC presentation... is kind of poopy.

What was the deal at SDCC? I missed the news

To make all of that worse, it's the SAME EXACT major mistake that they made the first time. The helmet is way too narrow. Everything else looks like they're just futzing issues but to f__k up the helmet AGAIN us just
