Take no offense, your post seemed... vengeful in its criticism, that's all I was referring to. Like we were all saying its the worst as some excuse that you were wrong.

That middle shot has no widows peak...photoshop or witchcraft?
Just to even things up, here's another picture on the left by the very same photographer... nose looks a bit bigger again.
Lens distortion is NOT our friend here in 1/6th land.

what is the truth?

Seems that a slight change in angle and lighting can "hide" some of the flaws or make them less noticeable
Yeah, the more shadows the better. 
There is no truth.

no, stay. I like your posts
I think the criticism and nitpick for this figure comes from the fact that most of us already spent 300$ or more on a previous or several previous Vader figures and really tired of spending for something that's not perfect
I actually bought my Rogue One overpriced on ebay
Agreed. No one does OCD better.
I don't think we'll really know what we got until the actual in hand photos start surfacing and we gain a sense of consistency. Even then, nothing is like having the figure in hand and at scale.
I've kept my order so far. But this figure is no Yondu, Sparrow or Tarkin to me. I should be getting Deluxe Fett and Vader at the same time so I hope that my Fett excitement will spill over onto Vader a bit. Watch -- Vader ends up being the better figure.

Lucky for me i'm happy with my Kotobukiya 1:10 Boba fett figure
Vader is pretty much the only character I want in 1:6 and obsess over the details (also Alien 1979 version but I got one I'm satisfied with)

To be fair I can find pictures of the real helmet where he looks **** when there's too much light on him....like this

Yeah I wouldn't judge anything by that middle picture. Starting to think the nose is perfectly fine now

this one. The X-Plus metal (limited to 1000 pieces) statue. It really looks straight out of the movie. It's the only Alien figure where they got the dome translucency exactly right (not too clear, not too dark) and the paint job (looks airbrushed) is beyond amazing (camera can't do it justice here). .Some say it's just metal version of the Sega Alien but I see a lot of differences especially the dome shape
there's some minor details that might differ from the film but the overall look is just amazing
Nice! I always loved the Sega. I've never seen the X-plus actually.
Is the ESB actually shorter there?
Oh -- I love that its shorter than the RO. They finally corrected the height!

ESB Vader arrived it has a few niggles so i think Rogue One may still be the best.

Yeah I never knew why ppl gave the RO such a bad time.
But this photo really does nothing for the ESB. Looks short, stubby kid wearing his fathers Vader helmet.

ESB chest box is huge. Way too big considering it should be smaller than ANH.
