The last string of photos looks like a bad over-weight cosplayer.

Yeah, it's amazing how the SSC ANH Vader has gone down in price. It was like HT Joker DX for a while.
I just like the ESB look better, but I'm 100% certain the HT ANH production figure will look way better than any of these pics so far. HT Han is no home run, but he looks better than the earlier pics of that V2 sculpt.
What I really like is the size of the interogiation droid, which look pretty accurate.
I have once read that it is formed by fixing 2x R2 unit domes together.

Supposedly it is, so the HT interrogation droid is about 1:12 scale.

What is the point of ht getting this license and then doing vader not much better than anyone else? I mean if this were IM they would get everything right. 
Its true we havent seen the real deal/final version, but we shouldnt have to worry about it looking bad either. I know i keep bringing it up about the price but i cant help it! Every time i see that crappy proto i cant help but think: Why is this $300? I would pay 300 for an authentic darth vader, i'm not paying 300 for a vader interpretation

It'll be fine in the end, CG. I know I'm not worried and am looking forward to having this in-hand.

Ya'll really do think the SS version is better? I think you guys will be eating your words (not that such a thing ever happens on the internet of course).
I don't have proof of course, not yet anyway but I am so confident that Hot Toys will make a better product that I sold my SS version to fund this one.

I think the SS one is great and a great value. But the HT one should be really good I'm keeping my SS and will get the HT.

Found another one. Best I have seen of the actual figure.

Yep, I sold off my Deluxe, too, and am feeling that same confidence. SSC's was nice but I'm sure HT's will blow it away.
That's a pretty nice angle for the helmet. The suit still has that licorice look that the SS V2 had in some of the early photos. Will probably look fine under normal lighting though.
I'm 100% confident this will be better than the SS one. BUT... none of these pictures being reposted look very good. The one above has a Pez head.

The deluxe was great and you got a lot of bang for your buck. But in terms of materials used and finishing, Hot Toys will alway be that bit better. This has sounds and flippin light up saber.
It's the same old routine around here. It's crap because of this, that or the other until it comes out and is in your hands...then it's amazing. Some folks just don't do history I guess.

Does PEZ do crow flavoured candy now?
Case in point is Chewbacca, what a turn of events that's been.

Picture looks like a PEZ head, not that I think the actual figure will be. A lot of these pictures show a helmet that seems to ride high above the shoulder line. NOT very ANH.
But as I've said above and from the beginning, I am convinced it will be better than the SS one.... so I believe its poor pictures, not a poor figure.

I was thinking in regards to other posts and not yours, but explaining in-post would've ruined my cheap joke.
