Great review. I almost bought both versions, but ended up with just the DX28 (when the ROTJ version comes out, I'll have four). It would have been really nice if they'd add a tiny red light inside the helmet of the battle-damaged head. There is still one version of Vader they haven't given us - the episode III Vader, when we see his face/head just before the mask and helmet is added.
@@daniel_sc1024 thanks so much! The red light inside the damaged helmet would’ve been an awesome addition. I do think we’ll see the Ep III Vader at some point. That would be a cool version for sure. Thank you for checking out the review!
Great review Sneaker! It's so difficult not to get both! I want to display both versions. Awesome to see both lightsabers side by side. The USB version doesn't look that bad. Pleasantly surprised at the brightness of the USB. The CCFL adds another $140 bucks, but it looks Amazing! I only have the DX28 preordered.
Awesome review man, always great to hear your take on figures! Got the battle damaged coming in soon and after watching your video I’m even more hyped to get it in hand 🔥
Awesome review! I got this figure, (DX28) and its so awesome! But the chain that holds the cape together at his collar broke off on one of the sides, do you have any suggestions on how to put that back without it looking too ugly, I was kind of thinking of like, hot glue, but I don't want a blob of glue to be there, again, awesome video!
Dang that’s a bummer! If you just got it you could reach out to where you bought it from and see if they’re able to help you obtain a replacement cape. If not, I really am not sure. Maybe fabric glue or you could try sewing it? I haven’t needed to do that before but I would maybe do some research on Google to see if you can find anything. The other option is finding a parted out figure and buying the cape, or buying a custom cape. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for showing the other DX I was curious how they were gonna do it and pack it. I hate how HT does Vaders hands too but it is what it is lol awesome vid!
Yeah it’s packed basically the same, except there is no spot for the clean helmet or chest piece inside the foam for the DX27. Thanks for watching bro!
Really like how you did this review Sneaker! Got both as well, and plan to use them in the same way: Inquisitors vs. Kenobi. Keep up the great content!
I’ve not got a Vader in my collection yet, so I pre-ordered two. Battle damaged to go with the Inquisitors, and clean version to put with my OT figures. Still debating whether to cancel one, and get the upcoming ROTJ Vader to go with my OT figures… But as this Vader is the best yet, I’m not sure. What do you think, Sneaker?
I personally am getting the ROTJ Vader also. It’s really hard to make that choice! I’d probably go with ROTJ if you want something to go with your OT figures, but this clean version could represent that as well. Good luck with your choice!
I was only able to get the DX27 from my local store since it's the only version they got. I have the ESB Vader in my collection already so I can live with the DX27. I would've like to have that light up base that comes with the DX28 though
Awesome review mate, great detail. Just got a ccfl in for this figure myself and I’m liking it. Never had one before and don’t think I’ll get them for all my star wars figures as it ain’t cheap. But Vader definitely commands it
Got this one for the clean version! It's like an updated rogue one which was my most desired one till this one showed up, glad i held out for this version!
@@EvilSneaker i Dare to say IT IS maybe an cheaper solution Most old vaders suffer from an weak helmet shape while the bodies are fine with the dx28head one solving this issue and come Out with maybe 200 bucks at end Not the setprice for the dx28 Deluxe.
I have the DX28 and love it. IMO this is a future grail. Just an amazing figure, one of Hot Toys best.
It really is! I think it’s my frontrunner currently for Figure of the Year!

Thank you man! SS needs to hurry up! Gotta love the OT figures. Hope we get more.

Thanks Brad! I was surprised by this USB saber vs the brightness for the Grand Inquisitor. Thank you for watching. You’ll be very happy with the DX28!

@@EvilSneakerAlright, thanks man!
@@Sams_Hot_Toys_Journey_Official yeah sorry I don’t have a better answer!
@@EvilSneaker Oh, no, I might look into some of that stuff, so thanks you!
@@Sams_Hot_Toys_Journey_Official no problem!

Use a hair drier or heat gun to soften the gloved hands. Makes attaching easier
Great way to do it! Thanks so much for watching!

Nice! The DX27 is incredible. You could always try finding that base for sale separately. Thanks so much for watching!

100% agree bro. Worth it for this figure. Thanks so much for watching man!
Got this one for the clean version! It's like an updated rogue one which was my most desired one till this one showed up, glad i held out for this version!
Exactly! I waited it out and didn’t get the Rogue One as well. Glad this one filled that void. Thanks for watching man!
Congrats brother for this, I don’t collect SW but really thinking of getting this with a count of storm troopers on his sides.
Thank you bro! “I don’t collect SW but really thinking of getting this” are some dangerous words my friend…tread carefully. 😂😉
@@EvilSneaker 😅😅🏃➡️
Great review brother…I need that Purge Trooper!
Thanks bro! I think he’s a cool figure. A welcome addition with the inquisitors!
🔥 🔥 great review. My copy hit this week.....it's beautiful
Thanks man! It seriously is! 🔥
Great review. I got 2 DX28
Thanks man! That’s awesome! I hope you’re enjoying them.
I dk which one to get OMG I wanna get both lol DX27 is $400 plus and the DX28 is $500 plus should I get both ?
@@-FourthInquisitor it’s up to you! You should be able to find them for prices under those ones. Thanks for watching!
Preciosas piezas! Enhorabuena! Un saludo desde Mallorca 🦉🦉
Gracias. ¡Te agradezco que veas el video!
Both of course
@@halloweenjack95 nice! 🙌🏼
Well i would try to buy the head Clean from the dx28set and fix IT to an other Vader bought cheap second Hand to get IT for an better price.
@@markusadanitsch648 that’s a good idea. Thanks for watching!

@@markusadanitsch648 kitbashing is a good way to save some money at times for sure!
The rich get richer!
Thank you for watching?
I finally got mine
Awesome, congrats! I hope you enjoy the figure. Thank you for watching!
This is so hard to watch. And you know why lol. Figure is 🔥
I’m sorry bro 😭. Hopefully Sideshow comes thru soon! The figure definitely is 🔥
Battle Damaged > Clean
Can’t wait to get this. I have ROTJ coming too so I don’t think I will double down on this version
I’m excited for ROTJ as well! You really can’t go wrong with Vader.
