I love the new Darth Maul with MU style hips and I've been waiting for this Vader to go up against him for awhile now...
I bought the new Darth Vader last weekend. I haven't had a chance to open him up or get a picture of him uploaded on to my photobucket account but my first impression was that the new figure looks really good. I even think he looks better than the last Darth Vader I bought back in 2007 when the 30th anniversary line was available.
From a sentimental standpoint I was glad to see the old school Darth Vader picture being used for the cardback art once again. The background is dark with minimal lighting and portrays the lightsaber blade in motion rather nicely. It took me back to 1977 when my father bought me the original figure for $2.00 and I had a chance to see what he looked like for the first time.
The later artwork from the ROTJ line back in 1983 that portrayed Lord Vader pointing his finger just never looked appealing to me. It was too light in the background and it just didn't have that level of menace that the original cardback picture had.
