It is definitely more pronounced on the Hot Toy, I agree. So I have to take back the 'very' part of my first post. And also, yeah, you can see it better when the light hits it just right. Which, in the episodes that costume appears in, isn't often at all.

After The Believer came out, I immediately went to town studying that costume and converted most of my suit to that version. I couldn't bring myself to do the texture, nor repaint my helmet, so my suit ended up being more of an amalgam since I still have the ESB helmet and ROTJ gauntlets. But before that, I poured over so many screencaps and have that episode and the beginning of The Rescue memorized now.

Sidenote, that's my costume in my profile picture.
