Finally received Vader after his misadventure.
(He was sent from Hong Kong to Canada in error, but luckily got redirected to the UK without being returned to Hong Kong).
Looks impressive, and there's quite some weight in that cape.
Don't know whether it's intentional, but his dome unplugs for easy access to his brain. Looks like it was supposed to be glued.

I think it's glued very lightly

It's a good thing as it makes getting his head off a bit easier when putting the robes over his armour.
He's a great looking Vader. The only thing I've done to him, which I'd planned from early on, is to swap codpieces with the Sideshow ROTJ version.
Post a pic. Might pick up that cod if it looks good so I not have to swap anything off of my ANH version.

Too... much... flash. 
A quick pic:
Looks like the vaders are looking into a blast or the sun.

You gotta hook ANH Vader up with a fresh set of mitts.
The HT facemask sculpt is a nice effort that looks really good under normal contrasty lighting, but it would be great to see HT take another shot at the helmet sculpt for their ESB Vader.
I have this, but still see that fox/insect/McQ Vader aspect to the HT facemask sculpt even with the newly glossed and more pronounced silver/black paint apps on the HT RO helmet.

Vader has to be one of the hardest sculpt to recreate. While I don't want to drop hundreds of dollars on mods to do this paint but this model piece that hurricane face.... I'll gladly pay 280.00 ish for a near perfect vader.just my 2 cents.
Will post pictures when I get mine in Sunday I'll post him with my soon to be retired ss dx as space has limited me to one vader and I'd rather save the spot for my ro stormie with ot stormie and ro vader

Flash is the kiss of death with this piece..that's why I avoid it in my pics
It was that...or nothing.
I wasn't taking another one because photography is the the most tedious aspect of collecting.

There's just a circular plug with a square hole in it to slot the dome onto.

The Rogue One Vader is on the left, right? Sorry, I'm very tired.
Got my Rogue One vader in and very happy with him. Just different enough from the ANH version that I am happy to have both. Just gotta do something about his chicken legs...
