I'm still on the fence, I already own both Sideshow versions. Do I have room for another Vader? The gloves is what's really holding me up at this point.

In ANH Vader's chest never lit up, so for accuracy no light up feature. They get that detail right, but not chest box...
Since you have two other Vaders to pose; maybe give the HT version an intimidating museum pose, but with his hands under his cape. Similar to this:

I saw these on Facebook, courtesy of Don Tam:
Comparing SS to HT. Even a height difference shown!
It blows the SS version away! And that mask/dome just look superb! Could be a tad shorter though.

I prefer HT's to SS forsure. The helmet looks awesome. I don't mind the chest box/belt placement. I know it's not screen accurate, but if you look at the SS Vader, He looks like a grandpa Vader. It all looks really crammed in there.

That's a good idea, I could do that. I do think they hit a home run with the helmet and mask.

Those comparison pics are really something. [emoji38] If there is one other thing I really with HT did was the red tinge on the lenses. Funny enough, the ANH SSC figure had it, and it looked great.

Although both are terribly unfutzed, unmodded SSC is wiped away. That dome!!!

Hey guys, remember the famous Marmit Vader that was never produced? Look at how good the Hot Toys version looks next to it.

Yeah...these pics have helped me decide that I NEED this HT Vader!!!!!! Thanks for all the pics!
Keeping my preorder - and the Deluxe SSC Vader was a lot shorter than their ANH Vader, so really glad to see HT Vader is even shorter - should be about right for the scale now

Preordered, looks superb....doubt I'll make any changes other than look at everyone futzing tips.
Ordered mine from Popcultcha, though I got an email yesterday saying it'll be end of Jan before they get these in.

That's the worst thing for me at the moment, don't think there is a chance to get this before Christmas.
But it looks really great!
I thought it was a little bit shorter. Like an 1/8" or 1/4" at most. Never had the ANH version but didn't like the height of the deluxe.
Hmm, that Marmit still looks really f'ing good!Hey guys, remember the famous Marmit Vader that was never produced? Look at how good the Hot Toys version looks next to it.
