That battle damaged head is absolutely amazing.

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed!

[@RedMetalSuit]

This is the best Vader figure Hot Toys has ever made. Wish I preordered

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed!

[@jeffcrow2506]

hell peel like the others 😢

[@michaelmyersplays4992]

Why didn’t you

[@Raysboss302]

Do just like me. Pay 1,5 the price and cry yourself to sleep.

[@RedMetalSuit]

@@michaelmyersplays4992 I canceled mine by mistake

[@_nick_stark]

I'm glad you called out the "motion" blade! The shape makes no sense! I've been saying that since it first released. Thank you for not just ignoring the faulty design like everyone else!

[@JustinsCollection]

I had to!

[@Evadious-2022]

Very good point!

[@Lord_Pistachio_Nut]

Seems like they only ever did it well with the DX17 (I think that's the number) Darth Maul. That swing effect had a thicker edge where the color shifted a bit so you could tell which way the blade is swinging etc. These newer releases, they phoned in the shape and color! I miss Sideshow's old lightsaber style. Their hilts sucked because sideshow can't paint to save their lives lol but the blades were more accurate vibrate colors and had molded effects making them seem more realistic

[@RDDall]

I’ve never seen Vader without his cape, and I’m just now realizing how much his armor looks like his Clone Wars armor. That shoulder armor & the draped fabric. Wow, that’s cool. And the battle damaged head is incredible!

[@komikbookgeek]

That was a detail I screamed about in clone a wars

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah it kinda does

[@poogrip]

He briefly has it off in Empire, in the scene where he chokes out Ozzel

[@RDDall]

“You didn’t kill Anakin… I did” 💯🔥

Very sad line, brilliant and cold. The loss of a boy, a man into a monster.

[@Swe_Slipknot]

With the bane voice 😂

[@6119gretsch]

Justin, this review answered every single question I had regarding this release. Specifically, compatibility of the undamaged head on the ESB Vader. Thank you!

[@JustinsCollection]

Awesome! Glad I could help!

[@Linda-hf7vr]

that junction box reminds me of the back up batteries we photographers used to use for our flashes. This a very handsome Vader. i've always hated those plastic pseudo saddle/crotch cradle stands. My figues always fall off of them.

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh true haha

[@richardgutierrez2812]

literally got mine when i seen your review out! watching as i open mine, its amazing!! good review thanks for uploading!

[@JustinsCollection]

My pleasure!

[@corietherrien8818]

Vader is one of my favorite Star Wars characters, and the battle damaged look is awesome! That battle damaged head sculpt looks so good! Amazing video!

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@thenewapelles6448]

He's definitely the best looking Vader! I love how athletic and imposing he looks.

[@JustinsCollection]

Dope!

[@christopherchan9868]

I had been waiting over 20 years for the one "definitive" Darth Vader 1/6 figure and I'm so glad I pre-ordered this and finally received it last month. It's spectacular.

[@JustinsCollection]

I think this could be it!

[@iRaphahell]

Such an amazing Figure! Got it myself as well!

I am so glad I preordered this! Mine will be arriving in a few days! I am so damn excited. The prequels were more of my Star Wars as a kid..this is special

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@Bhuddlez]

Thank you for doing the head swap!! I didn’t plan on picking this up as I have the ESB Vader, but will definitely be buying that clean sculpt to replace the empire Vader helmet

[@JustinsCollection]

Of course I was curious myself

[@kevinsay2492]

That’s what sold me this piece. Is the battle damage head sculpt. Beautiful!

[@JustinsCollection]

Me too!

[@jaredcantor7856]

As a very, very new collector I went for the upcoming ROTJ Vader because I only needed 1 Vader for my collection, but if that does not blow my socks off then I may go secondary market for this bad boy.

[@JustinsCollection]

Fair!

[@frank_sales]

Looks Ace! Never expected this one!

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@DerickTanglao]

I wasn’t this biggest Darth Vader fan until I saw Rogue One and the Kenobi series. I definitely need this one in my collection

[@mcguzman5398]

Same with yoda, saw the older movies and was like meh. Saw the prequels and I actually liked the characters more. I started watching everytjing star wars like 3 years ago so the older movies didn’t have a big impact on me.

[@JustinsCollection]

Fair!

[@bobafeet1234]

Excellent review! Just got mine today. Could not resist the Anakin battle damaged head sculpt. I think it's a fantastic Vader variant to have.

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed!

[@jhustler1992]

That is one amazing looking Vader figure. So hard to choose whether to display him as damaged, or undamaged. He looks amazing no matter which way he is displayed. Great review!!! Can't wait to add this one to my ANH 2.0 Vader, Rogue One Vader, ESB Vader, and Sideshow ROTJ 2.0 Vader.

[@JustinsCollection]

So good! Really happy with him!

[@realchinhing]

Great review! My DX28 shipped and I will get it next week. Cannot wait! I am worried about the pleather too as I live in Florida where humidity is high :(

[@JustinsCollection]

Damn!

[@realchinhing]

@@JustinsCollection Also, I agree that the ESB Vader helmet did not look screen accurate and looked weird. I thought I was the only one who thought that 🤣

[@JorgeRodriguez-rc3rw]

OMG the Sith evil eye. Awesome 😮

Haha yes!

[@luckyjhagra6020]

Looks good but agreed with you about cables not being included. Wire looks bad as it’s tough to hide. Not being bright from base lit saber is a dropped ball.

Looks like Hot Toys has gotten soooo much better with sculpting a leather looking plastic, that cod piece honestly had me.

[@JustinsCollection]

Legit!

[@alibear73]

I totally agree, I've always hated the empire and Return of the jedi vader with the sad puppy dog eyes. I could never understand before what it was I thought it was because they were shiny when I was a kid but then I realised they were slightly different helmets. The Rogue one, New hope and Obi wan show will always be my best Vader helmets. The colder eyes the smaller chin vent and the larger neck just make him look tougher and meaner. I'm glad I ordered this figure. It will be my first and only Vader hot toys figure.

[@JustinsCollection]

I never realised I didn't like them until I got the figure in hand haha

[@alibear73]

@@JustinsCollection it's alot worse in the figure than the movies

best vader ever made, got mine yesterday night absolutely amazing figure 10/10

As far as I know, Hayden Christensen is shorter than Prowse. But then Vader is also played by a body double in the Kenobi series in many scenes. Some have claimed that Hayden is only in the suit when the mask is damaged.

[@JustinsCollection]

Either way you get the distinction I was trying to make. 2 different lads in the suits, there's a difference in height

[@tobywareing6435]

Just got into Hot toys with the Boba Fett twin pack and ARC Jesse coming. I've always wanted a Hot Toys Vader so I'm waiting for the ROTJ version later in the year. Just worried the pleather suit will break down in a few months after but hopefully not.

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice! I hope it doesn't

[@derekreinhardt7655]

Great review man! Can't wait for mine to come. Do you ever use 303 on the pleather suit? I've been told it will make it last longer but haven't used it yet.

Fair enough!

[@arghjayem]

07:13 I’m pretty sure that the Venator class weren’t simply renamed. Star Destroyers are entirely different ships. Certainly Venator class ships were still serving in the Imperial Navy, but in less prominent roles. Venator class ships were used to guard the endor system when the second Death Star was being built. 21:48 Ironically, this was what early lightsabers were like according the the EU- no internal power, but a separate battery box linked via a cable that was an easy target! 😂

[@mehistaimsaar1323]

I could be wrong, but when they filmed ANH they made motorized hilts for when the saber was lit. Back then you had a wire running from the battery box to the hilt.

I wish! If you find one, let me know!

[@andrewpayne5093]

I think hot toys does know what they are doing with the pleather. They want you to keep buying new figures over time so by using pleather that falls apart, by the time a newer version of the figure comes out you'll want to buy it and get rid of the old fallen apart one.

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed
