Agreed. IMO, this one is the best yet.

I've always preferred HT to Sideshow. I think it's just an inevitability that they will do an ESB and ROTJ Vader at some point. Granted they will cost a heck of a lot more, but...

I'm thinking seriously about picking this one up. Do we have any collectors of articulated 12" Vader figures on the Ark? If you have a favorite version (choosing between Hot Toys and Sideshow), I for one would be curious to know which one and why, and expect that others would likewise appreciate your thoughts.

I had the Hot Toys Vader for a brief moment. Didn't like it and immediately sold it back off. Didn't like the fabric used, felt too thick and just off. Didn't like the way they handled batteries as they are super pain in the ass, especially for the lightsaber. Also didn't like the way they handled the gloves, as the hands were hard plastic, but the rest of the glove was fabric that velcroed to the plastic. It just didn't look right to me.

It's funny reading my previous comment. SSC prices have almost been on par with HT with some stuff lately, but a lot of people complain that it's no where near the quality.

Thanks, guys! Much appreciated. I want the Vader figure that looks best in his classic holding-the-belt-boxes pose, and both versions seem equally capable in that regard.
Thanks to Joe for alerting me about the Velcro bits. Looking at a couple of video reviews, I see the Velcro bits are not complimentary at all. Scratch HT. MegaPrime33's previous comment resonates: Vader is so iconic that there probably will be more versions to come, but I want one sooner rather than later, so will most likely pull the trigger for SSC. The head sculpt seems better, more like the definitive version (IMO) from New Hope. Anyway, thanks again for your thoughts. Rgds |
