I'm actually kinda surprised you got this Vader around the same time I did. It's so impressive, most impressive in person. He really could use a Meditation Chamber environment. Also, after having him displayed for a couple months, he went back in the box this morning, until I get a proper clear cover for him!

The only reason I passed on this one is because I went for the 1/4 Scale. Very pricey but worth it for me!

Dude! The way you posed Vader kneeling down with the trooper base is GENIOUS! Great review and I’m convinced in picking this Vader up as soon as I can. I’ve been holding off for whenever they get around to make a ROTJ version but I know that I’ll probably display that version with the unmasked sculpt so I do need this Empire version since he’ll have the helmet on. And that base is dope too so it’s a all around win! Great review as always bro 😎

It’s interesting that hot toys use like an almost chrome silver to checkerboard the face (vs a flatter silver) because those surfaces tend to disappear in shadow.... Also excellent review....! I have ESB Vader already but now I’m tempted to get the 40th anniversary

STILL trying to click the arm in 4 hours later

Hi guys, could do with some help... not bought a hot toys figure before, but interested in getting one this year. Firstly I’m not sure whether to get Vader now, or wait for Rex to come into stock April/June? Also, if I was to go with Rex, is there a guarantee I’ll get the figure when it comes into stock? Or is there chance it could get pushed back due to me preordering late. Thanks in advance :)

@@carlosalcazar1192 I'm not sure about ROTS, but in the original trilogy there were subtle differences in his costume in each film. Compared to A New Hope, the ESB figure has a shiny helmet and silver highlights on his mask, and his robes are under his shoulder armor, as well as some subtle differences in the shoulder armor and chest panel. Probably, for most collector these differences aren't enough to warrant more than one figure, but there are fans who will want every iteration of the character.

I have had 3 1/6 Hot Toys Darth Vader's. My favourite is this one. I think that the proportions are great, I like that you can remove the helmet and see his scarred head and the base is brilliant. The other Vader's suffer from either having too padded a body or the the mask/helmet being slightly too big which can give the figure a bobble headed look.
