Read the line in my head in Vader's voice.
Vader's hand gestures really sell his excitement

For those of you that got the two pack, are you having any trouble getting the pegs in/out of the glove on the Vader hands? I'm been trying to get the wrist pegs in a glove for 45 minutes and I'm pretty sure I have no nerve cells left in any of my finger tips at this point. I'm so frustrated I almost regret buying this. Does anyone have any tips?

For the RO Vader i used needle nose pliers to remove/insert the pegs.

Yeah, I'm trying that now. My fingers couldn't take anymore haha. I was afraid of snapping the peg on the joint with the pliers but they seem pretty sturdy.

just opened my 2pack and 3 vaders popped out! j/k... tarkin consensus is the same, very rad. new vader is okay out of the box, might tweak it a little.
Oh man, please post a pic of Tarkin between your ANH new and ANH old...
Looks like Tarkin the hobbit in that pic.
Save yourself the trouble and buy a bunch of spare pegs. No reason to regret the purchase. ToyAnxiety should have some spare ones from some other HT figure for cheap.

original ANH Vader left, new Tarkin ANH Vader right.
Thanks!
Is the original Vader shorter than the new Vader? Or is it the stand?
I was actually curious who was better scaled to Tarkin.

Even though I stated before that I can't really say one is better than the other stock because both contain better parts than the other, at the same time, my eye still goes to the original one whenever I see them both side by side. I think it's mostly because of the sculpt, shoulder armor (still inaccurate, but it still looks a bit more accurate stock) and the chest box.
Is that little round metallic silver disc on the belt just to the left (from Vader's perspective) of the buckle accurate?

Its the helmet, right?

Yes, one of the main reasons.
Now that I've seen those side-by-side pics, I totally notice how girthy original Vader is. Little donut-belly.
