I am glad to hear other people had issues with the gloved hands, man! I hated changing those hands out! Amazing figure and so glad you decided to review this one! Now we wait for that 40th ROTJ Vader!!!
I only managed to get the left glove on. Right is just sorta hanging, not going to mess with it more. Looks a little off but I'm not risking ripping the pleather.
I had mine for a bit now and I love it. Opted for the clean version because it’s my one and only Vader. It’s like an improved rogue one version which I always wanted. Love the review, thanks for sharing!
Blew up? 🤣 I didn’t expect to read that lol. That does suck though. Sorry you haven’t gotten yours yet. These 3-4 month waits after release is getting old
Funny, I had a figure (Mk85BD I believe) on the same derailed train. A crazy shipping delay. SS shipped out my (1st ever) Darth today. Got the DX SE unit.
Awesome video! Got my Kenobi Vader next to me here still in the box waiting for CCFL sabers from Chris :D On that note... I must ask how often u light up the CCFL sabers? Like is it only for video purposes or do u keep em on for a longer time?
Thanks for watching! Great question regarding the sabers. I don’t always turn them on with my display lights, but here and there I like to enjoy them. I usually won’t leave them on more than 2 hours at a time.
I know those USB power light sabers were a starter up for hot toys to do and I do appreciate it I'm sure everyone can agree it's a lot better than pulling off the arm and hope that it doesn't break when you're touching the light up lightsaber but when you look at the custom lightsabers and how bright they are you have to ask yourself why didn't hot toys go that route hopefully that is something that they can improve on when it comes to a brighter light in those lightsabers with USB
It’s def a good step forward getting rid of the battery arm, but I feel hot toys has a long way to go yet regarding making the lightsabers more functional and looking more realistic.
Great review G! Still waiting for mine from my local shop. Seeing your Tarkin-Vader in your display, I'm glad I ordered parted-out extra bases. I ordered extra hands/pegs too in case I have to mod them to solve the problem you're having.
Bro I recently subscribed to your channel and oh my god best discovery so far! I luckily bought the last piece of Loki TVA sixth scale after watching your video so that was a lucky buy just now haha! I’m on the waitlist for this one.. has it started shipping and do you think I have a chance? Can’t wait for more of your videos ❤
@@archieiit hey thanks for subbing to my channel! It’s much appreciated! Vader has been shipping but now that the new battle damaged has been announced this one has been going on sale a lot in the BST groups and eBay so keep looking! Cheers!🤘🏻🐺
Great video, Graeme. The nice thing about that base is it doesn't have one of those damn nameplates, so, as you noted, it can be used with other figures. It's probably not screen accurate, but the damaged chest panel looks good lit up. I got my figure last week, but have been too tired from work to do anything but look at it in the box. I almost got two of them, so I could display him in both versions.
As much as I like Star Wars that had 0 and ever owning a Darth Vader I have seen different ones from Sideshow and had no interest but when they brought out this one I had to end up changing my mind I am so glad I met the 4th my weightless converted for this deluxe version can't wait to have him in my collection and combine him with the shadow Troopers Emperor Palpatine
Congrats on the pick up, it looks amazing. Thanks for posting this cool review. I can’t wait to get mine even though I just got my delay notification yesterday. At least I’ll know what to expect when I get it.
@@thejediknightswatchI finally got my shipment notification. It should be here this Friday. I am excited for this and can’t wait for Vader to come home.
Best yet, but the cape isn't great. Think once you add jaxons one (drape or wired - your preference) it makes it a 10 easily. Looking forward to return of the jedi vader. Nice review.
The next video I believe that they should create and they have never done it yet is the introduction of Darth Vader when he is being created when he's on the table strapped down being built being created
And where I appreciate when some of these pieces light up what is the harm adding a USB cable I mean come on it's a very cheap thing to have not everybody can immediately have multiple at hand
For the longest time I thought about getting the 1/4 Vader because of that amazing Anakin headsculpt. But at the same time I kept wondering “that’s not the iconic visual for Vader” (a “problem” we have with Batman, Iron Man, Spider man… but with Vader it’s more drastic). So, when I saw this release, I realized it was the answer: helmet and Anakin head at the same time! 😃 I also have the Vader from the 2-pack Tarkin, and probably gonna use the light up base, just like you did, but I think I’m gonna use the new clean headsculpt on it 😁 Btw: the wired cape is phenomenal. I got one with Jaxon for my Bale Batman. Thinking about picking one for my Vader too. Great review as always, man! Cheers!
Thanks for watching and for sharing! I totally get what you are saying about the Vader helmet and the head sculpt. This really is the best of both worlds!

Yes! The gloves are a pain! Almost wish it was just split at the wrist. Thanks for watching man! On to ROTJ!
I only managed to get the left glove on.
Right is just sorta hanging, not going to mess with it more.
Looks a little off but I'm not risking ripping the pleather.
Awesome fig and review! Where can you pick up that custom cape?
I got mine from Jaxon Xu. You can find him on IG!
Thanks for the amazing review I’m about to order mine today and your video is just getting me excited
@@KingOnVR sweet! Congrats on securing him! He’s awesome
Great review. Just had mine delayed. Looking forward to have in hand. Will be interesting to compare to the ROTJ when that one is released.
Always appreciate you watching, my friend. Sucks that yours is delayed, but at least you have it secured! Hope it comes soon!
Just got this guy at comic con yesterday for $380and couldn’t be happier, didn’t care about the exclusive hologram hahaha
Nice pickup!!
I had mine for a bit now and I love it. Opted for the clean version because it’s my one and only Vader. It’s like an improved rogue one version which I always wanted.
Love the review, thanks for sharing!
I can def see displaying clean version if it is your definitive Vader. Nice to have the option to switch it up! Thanks for watching as always!
Mine was apparently on a train that blew up, so it's delayed. Wtf. I don't know. I'll have to live vicariously through you until it finally arrives 🤌

@DanielHog13 ah, well I'm happy you got it eventually, and congrats on the Vader, too!
Totally sick figure! Got mine about a month ago, very cool video, thanks for sharing! Where can I get one of those wired capes?
Thanks for watching! I got mine from Jaxon Xu but unreal customs makes really good ones too. Both are on Facebook or IG
Awesome video! Got my Kenobi Vader next to me here still in the box waiting for CCFL sabers from Chris :D On that note... I must ask how often u light up the CCFL sabers? Like is it only for video purposes or do u keep em on for a longer time?

Thanks man! If you find a good way to mod then let me know! My lightsaber holding hand isn’t even pegged in lol
Finally received this figure and absolutely love it thanks man
It might be the best Vader figure we have!

It looks amazing, especially with that custom saber
Thanks man! It really adds a realistic effect!
is the inner suit pleather? or is canvas
It is pleather
Great video, Graeme.

Thanks for watching Daniel! Damn, you need to get that bad boy out of the box! Lol I get it, it took me two days to finally open mine.
Is there anything wrong with leaving the LEDs on all the time on these new USB figures?
No nothing wrong with it but like any led light they usually only last so long.
As much as I like Star Wars that had 0 and ever owning a Darth Vader I have seen different ones from Sideshow and had no interest but when they brought out this one I had to end up changing my mind I am so glad I met the 4th my weightless converted for this deluxe version can't wait to have him in my collection and combine him with the shadow Troopers Emperor Palpatine
You made a good choice!!

Good news is you have one secured! This thing is starting to sell a bit over retail! the wait sucks though
@@thejediknightswatchI finally got my shipment notification. It should be here this Friday. I am excited for this and can’t wait for Vader to come home.
Figure of the year contender. If it isn't something is wrong.....nah just messin'. But yeah it's a killer piece. Defiantly the best Vader.
I agree man, this is def a contender! Thanks for watching!
Best yet, but the cape isn't great. Think once you add jaxons one (drape or wired - your preference) it makes it a 10 easily. Looking forward to return of the jedi vader. Nice review.
Thanks for watching and commenting! The cape def adds a new layer to this guy. Excited for ROTJ as well!
Love the pose! Mine just came in today, super excited to get him in the display
You won’t be disappointed. Such a fun and amazing figure!
Congrats brother, you SW sons are eating well this week, I’m jealous 😫
Haha yeah, lucky for me only maul is needed. Could def use some NEW Batman announcements!
Dope ass review bro, I’m still waiting on this from sideshow lol
Thanks man! Appreciate you watching! I’m getting real tired of waiting 3-4 months after release for sideshow to get me the figure…
The next video I believe that they should create and they have never done it yet is the introduction of Darth Vader when he is being created when he's on the table strapped down being built being created
That would be amazing!
i dont collect figures but this right here i hadddd to buy
Hell yeah! That’s when you know it’s great!
because in this deluxe version there is no small hologram of the inquisitor
🤘🏻thanks for watching
Great video mate this bad boy looks sick AF 👏
Thanks Phil! Love this Vader!
Great review! Easy like
Thank you good sir!
Very nice figure and review 🐺
Thanks dude!
I want that one to 🎉
It’s def worth it! You won’t be disappointed
And where I appreciate when some of these pieces light up what is the harm adding a USB cable I mean come on it's a very cheap thing to have not everybody can immediately have multiple at hand
I couldn’t agree more. Why cheap out on us lol
great video buddy
Thank you Reese! You getting this one??
@thejediknightswatch nah brother, I'm not really a hot toys collector. I just shell out for maul and maul adjacent lol
Great figure from an abysmal show. Wish I had that death star base!
🤣don’t be so hard on it lol. It was alright. But yes, the figure is much better!
@thejediknightswatch I'm sorry bro I just can't lol
@@theycallmequesoblanco4165 🤣🤣🤣

Great figure I got mines a few weeks ago awesome 👍👍
You said it! Glad I didn’t miss out on this one
