Electrocuted light up blue helmet is a nice idea and different, but who will really set theirs up like that ?

Same with Uncle Fester HS.

But definitely something many have been waiting for, so I'm happy for those that have been waiting.

I wonder what will be next for the 40th Anniversary line....Jabba ? Gamorrean Guard ? Probably another Emperor considering the light feature of this Vader.

Me for one, with severed hand as well. I don't need ANH, ESB and ROTJ all looking the same. This guy is going with DS2 Luke.

It's never seemed right displaying a Vader un-helmeted, because it implies he's going to die soon unless he's in his life support meditation chamber.

That's why if I got this vader, I will display him holding his helmet, because I imagine he can put his helmet back before dying of suffocation

Now, for the long wait to begin…

Dramatic effect.

Anakin will go through any lengths to look dramatic. Like turning off his life support to scare the fleet troopers on the Profundity or riding on top of his TIE X1 which is definitely not OSHA approved.

It looks like HT are reusing the horrible 'droopy tusks' face mask from TESB version. Was hoping that they might have scaled down the 1/4 version

Still though(missing eyebrows aside), that Shaw sculpt looks glorious, and will be how i'll be displaying this version of Vader.

No fix on downward tusks and oversized shoulder pads.

I will, because I owned the hasbro electrocuted Vader as a child.

Any thought on which is the superior Vader? This or the DX28 from Obi Wan

This is the Vader we were waiting for.
Looks amazing. Now have to decide if I really need DX, considering the space I have.

Kenobi one. This is a lazy attempt from Hot Toys. They didn't bother with rectifying issuis in ESB one. But, this is an important but, ROTJ is more important than Kenobi. So, it's your choice.

Well guess I am getting 2 more Vaders for the collection. One unmasked and one to light up.

Not sure about this one. The cod piece is the same one used on the ESB. Thats was always the thing I did not like about the figure. The gloves look reused also. This release feels like an ESB reissue with a few extra accessories. Im going with BD Vader.

I guess this will be my first Vader Hot Toy. I skipped the Kenobi one because of the tattered cape, and the price. I'm not interested in a maskless Vader, so from a price point of view it's smarter to get the normal RotJ Vader over the deluxe Kenobi one.

No surprise here, as we all pretty much speculated that this one was coming. Day one preorder for me. I have both ANH & ESB Vaders, and for those who wonder who would display this figure with the Shaw sculpt minus the helmet, I’m that guy. Will look great next to my Palpatine. Love the additional force lightning helmet. The bases are nice but won’t have the room for them. So glad I passed on the Kenobi Vader.

I don't know why I need so many Darth Vaders but I am down for the deluxe set.

Looks beautiful. I'm feeling pretty disillusioned with star wars after this hilariously bad mando season, but I can't ignore a gorgeous Vader figure. It will be pretty cool to put him side by side with ANH and ESB.

Disappointing it's a reuse of the ESB Vader. Had that figure but never liked the proportions.

I’m definitely going with Uncle Fester hs. By far the main reason I want this figure. The base is also top notch. Don’t need the lightning head though. Not sure if it’s possible to get two without the other? Very confused as to what hat actually comes with the standard as the pictures show the stairs.

Another one? Isn’t there like 10 of these? they all look the same. Why buy a Vader figure now when there will be a million more down the road
I’ll stick with my rogue one Vader. I can’t tell the difference anymore anyway.

I’m with you and all the others who expressed disappointment with ESB Vader. Always looked like a bulky tween in a deluxe Halloween costume to me.

This is a stacked release and I’m happy for those who want it, but I’ll pass.
