You Are A Tooooooy!!!
Yeah, its too soon. I don't need another Vader right now since there are way to many characters we need first... Boba, 3PO, Tarkin, Chewy.
I did. I get an amber color, less "red" more burnt orange almost brown color... but perhaps my flash isn't as sharp as other more up-to-date cameras here. Also it looks like the red really pops when the flash is used in a relatively low-light room. I have to wait untl the sun goes down a bit as my place just gets a lot of light.
Anyway, no biggie, just noticed some variation... as with everything, I'm sure that there will be variation to the "red eyes"; whatever effect causes it certainly it can't be replicated in every figure the very same way. So some may just have more 'red' behind their black eyes than others.
I think it was the below that got me; those eyes are really red:
Less than 24 hours and I'll FINALLY have mine
The wait has been excruciating!
Change the helmet? ok. The scale? Hell no.

[/QUOTE]Two best figures from SS this year...
I've also lowered it to show the side view. Definately going to do this to mine when it arrives ! Thanks again for some cool pics Sean !
Not the best photos, but I think you get the idea...
In hand, the helmet is a minor issue. If you freeze frame ANH for comparison, it's still off -- but simply looks great in person. My biggest disappointment is the cape chain: there's no way to display it above the helmet and I much prefer that look. Seems odd that they'd go to the trouble of a metal chain if you never get to see it.
By the way, the Medicom Vader (ROTJ is above) looks great, but it really loses points for loose hands, a helmet that won't stay put, and difficulty in standing on its own. The height doesn't bother me that much, but it's still odd they went with a 1/7 scale (or whatever) instead of true 12" figures.
