Hell yes. That last pic just oozes that scene!

 

[guyver1]

So on the nose guard, if we painted it a little gun metal do you think it will be ruined

Yeah that last shot could pass for a screen print or an image from the irreplaceable TOPPS trading cards

Well done Matrix

Wow with these comparison pics, I can't believe how HT nailed the length, width and illumination of the saber

Holy

I didn't realize how dull the paint on the chest plate was in the film

Are you going to try the belt hike up at least, or maybe in hand it's not as bad as we think

And the sound effects?

Still on the fence pros and cons list...

Pro- I really like the helmet

Con- I really hate the gloves

Pro - I no longer think the LED saber is just a gimmick after getting Kenobi - It would be cool to have a Vader with one.

Con - I already have the SS Deluxe Vader I got over a year ago and I've always been fine with it. I don't like the helmet as much, but I don't hate it. I do hate the oversized light saber so I never pose him with it. I do love the gloves on the SS one.

Pro - It would be cool to have HT Vader to "complete" (for me) the HT ANH collection of Luke, Han, Chewie, Ben, Leia, and Stormtoopers (regular and disguise versions)

Con - Getting Luke, Han, Chewie, Ben, Leia, and Stormtoopers (regular and disguise versions) are already costing me a LOT.

Pro - I'm finding a recent appreciation for ANH style Vader - especially the helmet

Con - The ESB version is still my favorite look over all.

Bonus Con - I hate the gloves (yea, this gets mentioned twice)

And the sound effects?

The sound effects on mine are working fine now,just remember to turn the button on the back of vader to off straight after you've finished listening to JEJ dulcet tones. Don't wait for the 15min reset to kick in!

Seeing all these pictures it really is clear that the chest armor is too big - it extends down far too long and has a really weird shape. Would really love to see the HT with the Sideshow chest armor - not bells.
