    Great review, Vader looks incredible! I just realized while watching the review that Anakin's general Skywalker costume from the clone wars is shaped like exactly the same as the Vader costume with the robes and the armor it's pretty seamless, really genius on the designers. And I never use the light up effects for the saber they're not strong enough.

    Thanks for the review!
    ESB Darth Vader is my favorite version. As you said, the costume looked better put together and personally I always liked how shinier it was compared to the original film's suit.
    Only downside to the mask, though, seems to be they didn't replicate the very dark amber lenses . They just seem to be pure black, which wasn't really a thing until Revenge of the Sith.
    Also, I get your comment about the blade color but depending on who you ask and which version of the film you watch, Vader's lightsaber blade was never really A full red; it was more of a crimson, OR pinkish red. Just throwing that out there. Maybe Hot Toys was trying to replicate that here?
    I have the recently announced ESB Luke on preorder so I will need to track this one down, LOL.

    Thanks for the review.
    I'm quite pleased that this is a straight reissue as I missed out on the first release. The nostalgic box is just icing on the cake. 👍
    As it turns out I do use the light up arm on Jedi Luke. I wanted to use the non light up lightsaber for Crait Luke. But for the most part, I don't use them, or most light up features in all fairness. I mostly use the Death Star walls lights in photos, once in a while.
    I'd like to see Revenge of the Sith Darth Vader in armour. As for The Return of the Jedi version, I'm still very pleased with Sideshow's Deluxe figure, currently trading blows with Jedi Luke as it were.

    Got it yesterday. Great figure. He’s a lot more sleek looking than I expected, which I rather like. I do worry about creasing; I have the right hand stretched out holding the lightsaber so not worried about that one. The other is for that pose where he’s pleading for Luke to join him. That’s the one I worry about. But I refuse to just pose him with arms hanging down.

    Hey Justin I wanted to comment on ur thoughts about the use of red light instead of white. The reason is, the blade piece being already sort of washed out and slight pinkish color, giving it a white light would make the blade completely pink and wouldn’t look as good or accurate. Anyways great vid😜

    Personally, I love the light-up arm for my luke 1/6th scale figure, and would actually opt out of buying a lightsaber-wielding character who didn't come with a light-up arm.
    I think they should just stick to a bright white LED and let the color come from the color of the blade itself

    It is inevitable that pleather will degrade eventually no matter how well you try to preserve it...It happened even with the old kenner figures even one I kept in box for years and never removed...but it isn't the end of the figure...I removed cleaned off the rotting pleather from my kenner figure and it still looks great without it despite no shine...but at least I don't have to worry about rot anymore.

    You would think they would fix the helmet situation at re-release. I watched reviews before buying & was warned it falls off easily, I was super careful & it still ends up hitting the ground multiple times lol; luckily it's soft carpet. Hope I'll be more satisfied with my 2nd figure of Jango Fett as it's still in the mail & has no electronics.
