Hey willthebeast, I'd wait for the kenobi version. It should come updated and/ or added accessories. It may also come with a cracked vader helmet sculpt as a deluxe version addition. So definitely hold out for the kenobi version

This must’ve cost quite a penny! I remember when I bought mine after Sideshow sold out and it took an arm and a leg to get it! Hope you got extra wrist pegs cause they’re a pain to dig out!

@@JustinsCollection I just saw a photo of HT Vader from the Kenobi series. Not gonna lie he looks very similar to the Rogue One version. Hopefully he’ll be much different.

[@thestarwarsman573]

I have got to be completely honest about the review: this might be the greatest Darth Vader figure I have ever seen, and quite possibly the best Star Wars figure I have ever seen. It has the best detailing and cleanest finish more than anything else I have found online or in a KZbin review, and the expressiveness you get when you equip some of the hands on him makes him look super imposing. One thing that has also bugged me about previous figures and film appearances of Vader based on his A New Hope and Rogue One variants is how the cloth next to his chest piece goes over his shoulder guard, which is still how he appears in the movie this figure is based on, and I am so glad they put the cloth under his chest piece on this figure because I always thought that design choice can be stupid. There is one nitpick I have with this figure which is that you can't remove his helmet to show his face, but seeing as how that idea was executed on previous figures, it's best that he doesn't do it here since it leaves figures with either a rubber helmet with weird proportions, or it makes the helmet too big to compensate for a removable helmet feature. I don't need a removable helmet, but if this figure had it, I would practically call it my holy grail of Star Wars figures. Other than that, this Vader figure deserves an absolute 10/10.

[@JustinsCollection]

I agree he is grail status for me too. The ultimate Vader and a centrepiece in my display!

[@johnlungo8080]

The ultimate Darth Vader will be the new Obi-Wan one coming out next year!

[@DavidHRolex]

Its a testament to the design of the character Darth Vader...... you don't even have to put him in a pose. Just stand him straight up and down and he still looks absolutely intimidating AF. Figure looks absolutely spot on! Great review!!!

Agreed!

[@alibear73]

I've always preferred the new hope/rogue one Vader. The eye's are better. The empire and Jedi eyes look kinda of doe eyed and sad almost cute. There is less shine on the helmet and I prefer the smaller triangle vent under his chin. In the other versions it became a bigger vent.

[@JustinsCollection]

Fair enough!

The ultimate 1/6 scale Darth Vader figure! This guy is menacing!

[@JustinsCollection]

[@lalat367]

I paused the video to see the back of the box, and i noticed the year 2016... Been 6 years in the box, how can it occured to you that the leather suit still good? I bought the ESRB Vader (not the 40th anniversary), and the leather peels off everytime I posed it, although it was produced in 2018. I keep restraining myself to buy such figures with 70% of pleather usage because of this

[@JustinsCollection]

Lol it was not in the box for 6 years. It was in my display. I put it back in the box for the unboxing segment

[@starwarsfantommy]

The only Vader I have and will ever need, an amazing figure for sure! Those backdrop style displays like the Death Star were also included with DareDevil and Punisher from the Netflix show, those were street designs I believe. Another great one Justin !

As you said, everyone has their personal preference and I know it’s a super nitpick but as for me I kinda like how the tunic overlaps his armor.

Hey justin quick question. I know you dont treat your pleather figures with anything but how many issues have you had with pleather figures flaking. Like you have super old figures, have you had lots of figures flake or just a few. I know some figures are notorious for flaking so could be inferior pleather process ? All info is appreciated. Thank you.

[@JustinsCollection]

Nick Fury from Avengers 1, Catwoman TDKR 1.0, DX07 Boots, DX IIndiana Jones belts, AOU Black Widow and Winter Soldier are unfortunately all flaking.

[@chichiboypumpi]

Something aren’t exactly accurate. The lenses should be red, his robes should be over his chest plate, and the widows peak on his helmet should be more prominent, tho the figure itself is still 10/10, but it looks like he does in Empire strikes back rather than A new Hope/rogue one.

I have two, one in the display cabinet and one out for posing, the one out in the elements has peeled on me and honestly, i just started peeling it off completely, still looks good, modded it to take out the girdle foam in the midsection which resulted in better torso articulation and got the Kotobukiya M.S.G. LED Swords in the lightsaber hilt, looks and works beautifully! I pose him ALL the time! Love your reviews by the way!

[@JustinsCollection]

Ah damn! Good to know you can mod it for more range!

[@darthqui-gon5986]

Cool figure. I definitely perfer the Star Wars one, I still call episode 4 that, better. Only thing I don't like about that Darth Vader is all the gimmicks with the voice box so we can say lines from the movie and the breathing I never used to light up effects so I can live without those. But definitely the voice box limits some of its posability. But I just love the sculpt and overall figure. And I was able to fix the chest box when I called him it was really high but all I did was take off the mantle adjusted the straps and now it hangs right in the middle of his body. I know this is an older review so there is a Darth Vader coming up for the Obi-Wan Kenobi show and it kind of pisses me off so that means they have made every single Darth Vader except the Revenge of the Sith one which is by far my favorite Darth Vader. Every chance I get to throw that out there the hot toys I have. He deserves to be made I think we waited long enough for him in many ways I think he'd be the most difficult. Darth Vader to put together because of the symmetrical helmet the mantle isn't very different from that of Return of the Jedis it's just the Chrome and black are painted in different spots like the shoulder pieces on the Return of the Jedi Darth Vader are while the Revenge of the Sith Darth Vader they're Chrome and they do move up and down and also his chest box is connected to the suit its not held on by straps. But other than those couple things I think the helmet would be the most difficult to get accurate but the rest of the costume is pretty close to that of a new hope just cleaner because he's just been made. Right now he's my Most Wanted figure and I will piss and moan and whine about it put my two cents in about it everywhere that talks about hot toys Darth Vader's LOL and hopefully they'll get the hint

[@JustinsCollection]

Fair enough! Thanks for commenting!

You’re right about the ESB helmet. The eyes are wrong. And the mouth grill is too steep for the feature. The rogue one Vader has a more accurately shaped face mask which should be the same as all OT Vaders minus minor details like the enlarged chin vent and color details.

Justin, your reviews are all excellent and very helpful for a collector to make decisions on which items to get.
