I don't have a Vader in my collection yet so I just ordered this one. I love the characters in Star Wars but I likely wouldn't even notice if there were any outfit inconsistencies unless they were absolutely glaring.
Yeah I've been a die hard Star Wars fan since I was a kid and saw ANH in the theater in 1977 but when I look at my HT SW collection, I just see Vader, Luke, and so on. I've never had an eye, or even patience, to sit down and take note of every inaccuracies that a figure may or may not have. I just see the characters I've love since 1977.
