Nice! I like that they’re finally doing proper belt-holding hands.

Hang on, it says Empire! So does this mean we won’t actually see Anakin’s face? :)
 
Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: ESB - Darth Vader

Yessss. I've been waiting for an ESB/ROTJ Vader to add to my collection. I've never had one!

I feel ashamed to ask - but are any of the differences between ESB/ROTJ Vader very notable? I believe his helmet in ROTJ is more glossy, but I can't recall anything as extreme as the buttons being completely different like ANH.

Will definitely be grabbing either this or an ROTJ one.
 
Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: ESB - Darth Vader

I wonder if they will tease his chamber from "Empire", show it at conventions and never release it[emoji53]

Here I was just thinking, I'd like to finally add a Vader to my collection, which one should I get? Welp.. this will do. Oh yes, this will do.
 
Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: ESB - Darth Vader

It’s my experience going to these Hot Toys events here in Japan that reservations are never what happens with figures. They sell the actual figure, even if it’s months before the actually street date in HK. So, I’ll be there next Thursday and hopefully I’ll be walking away with this bad boy.
 
Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: ESB - Darth Vader

Cool!! ANH Vader I already have from HT. I might get this as well. We'll see
 
Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: ESB - Darth Vader

Wow! This is excellent news! Now I have a nice conundrum... ANH or ESB...

With the exchange rate, it's about $243, so we can expect the usual $250 price point. I need to rewatch ANH and ESB to help me choose a Vader.
 
Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: ESB - Darth Vader

That's the one I've been waiting for
 
Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: ESB - Darth Vader

Since we all know where this thread is headed, I'll get it started....
The shape of the helmet is wrong. :lol
 
Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: ESB - Darth Vader

I've been waiting for this! I have to say though, the cape looks a little cheap.
