Yes and yes
There is lots of confusion throughout Facebook groups as the Darth Vader that is displayed in this image looks to be the same as the Rogue One version. Will it be the same Darth Vader that is in the Tarkin 2pack?
That is the RO version by the pleats, but they are doing the ANH version with Tarkin. Then they'll do the ROTJ or ESB version & then both. But I don't think they'll make another Rogue One version.
I wonder why the Vader ANH version can't be pre-ordered separately but Tarkin can.
Because they already did a single ANH Vader. He is an incentive figure. They've done this multiple times before with things like the Batsignal/Armory/Pepper Potts 2 pack/etc. If you want the improved ANH Vader, you gotta buy Tarkin too. They'll eventually make another single packed Vader but he'll likely be from RotS/ESB/RotJ. Sure the difference are minor between the outfits, but HT has never left the chance to remake a character over and over again on the table. He's not the first Vader from HT nor will he be the last.

I think I saw a friend (that owns a toy store) that Hot Toys has a Vader that is in que but not ready to be ordered yet. I also saw the emperor. I was happy about a single Vader because I pre-ordered Tarkin right away and then saw a few hours later they did a two pack.
Interesting news. Might be holding off on the 2 pack after all.. Were there any prices on the listings?
I'll see what I can find out later today
The thing with Vader is that he’s already been made twice and there is another version coming for those who either missed the others or want another. There will for sure be more versions made but I bet he’s not a huge priority at the moment. He’s a character they can make whenever and he’ll sell.
