Jack Reacher is a funny name. It always sounds like a porn star... or something.
His full name is Jack Reacher Round.

Kind of off topic:
Could somebody tell me how to get the Hot Toys Vader helmet on the SS Vader again haha

Without skimming through the whole thread: is this the same helmet sculpt as the ANH Vader?
Don't have either yet and am currently leaning toward the Rogue One version because of the gloves, yet I am a fan of ANH Vader's sinister "expression". Also, did they remove the brushed gunmetal grey from the cheeks?

Looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer for this. Just got an email saying my payments are being pushed back

Indeed, the colors on the mask in the picture aren't exactly accurate in that pic. Those illustrations were done a long time ago and not exactly up to date. Both whiskers - the area between the cheeks and mouth walls - should be gunmetal on both sides. That's a flaw.
Still not convinced the right tube should be grey. Sure, it is not exactly black, as it has gunmetal highlighting, but so does many other surfaces on the ANH face mask that are agreed upon to be "black", such as the right cheek, mouth and left mouth side wall. All these are also drybrushed with gunmetal lightly. The only black section that doesn't have the drybrushing is the area between the left cheek and eye. That's pretty much the only visible area that is black only. The ANH face mask and armor aren't two-tone like ESB/RotJ. It's black with gunmetal highlighting of varying amounts.
You can even see in these frontal pictures, taken with flash, that the right tube (left in the picture) is darker than the left tube (right in picture), which is a clear indication that the gunmetal application is much lighter on that tube, similar to those other mentioned black areas that has highlights as well. And both pictures are of the helmet PRIOR to the repaint it received before the footprint ceremony and Chronicles photoshoot and how it looks today.

Seriously......I thought I was a nerd. But this takes it to a whole new level. Good luck getting the 100000% screen accurate figure.

At first glance that looks pretty good. Until you realize it's Don Post lookalike stormtroopers and Cod Vader daytime manager from that movie that no one has even seen yet, Leto Joker from that crap movie, Iron Menzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..

There will be a release every couple weeks from now until the last figure in the pic. Probably a few months until all figures are released in HK.

Wow that was quick. Guess they want this out in time for Rogue One. I doubt Sideshow will have him before February.
It is kind of insane how obsessed some guys are with the helmets. Personally I think if you are looking for that level of detail in something, you should be collecting 1:1 custom prop replicas, not mass produced 1/6 figures.

The ratio of human headsculpts to masked/helmeted ones reflects how HT realise they can make money by avoiding sculpting real people.
It's always funny to read this. Nerds calling out other nerds for their degree/type of nerdiness.
I mean if increasing screen accuracy doesn't separate a figure release today from one done several years ago, what does?
Even beyond getting proportions or details more correct, the progression of 1/6 is ALL about increasing realism/accuracy - better bodies for more naturalistic posing, improved paint apps and sculpting techniques to make the faces or masks more realistic, 1/6 cut/sew that hangs more like the 1:1 costume.
It's people like TooMuchGarlic and jkno that actually know the resources - the things you need to know to make each version of a character more accurate and improved over the last - better than Lucasfilm or Disney does.
