I'm actually kinda surprised you got this Vader around the same time I did. It's so impressive, most impressive in person. He really could use a Meditation Chamber environment. Also, after having him displayed for a couple months, he went back in the box this morning, until I get a proper clear cover for him!
Dude! The way you posed Vader kneeling down with the trooper base is GENIOUS! Great review and I’m convinced in picking this Vader up as soon as I can. I’ve been holding off for whenever they get around to make a ROTJ version but I know that I’ll probably display that version with the unmasked sculpt so I do need this Empire version since he’ll have the helmet on. And that base is dope too so it’s a all around win! Great review as always bro 😎
seriously one of your best reviews and posing sessions ...well i'm a big biased vader fan too 🤩😍 i have the regular version of this (edit...two of them) and it's got serious presence 👍🏻
I got it a few days ago and was shocked by how enormous it is! And honestly the only thing that I disliked about the figure is the fact that it doesn’t come with any neutral hands. I’d like the option to pose him just standing but I can’t
I just secured him with a flexpay layaway, super excited. I adore your channel, you deserve much more attention. Finding high quality channels dedicated to my same hobby is always such a treat, genuinely thank you!
I have the non-40th Anniversary version, love the thing, it is amazing in person and I have it prominently displayed with the cool Empire base in my Detolf.
Hi guys, could do with some help... not bought a hot toys figure before, but interested in getting one this year. Firstly I’m not sure whether to get Vader now, or wait for Rex to come into stock April/June? Also, if I was to go with Rex, is there a guarantee I’ll get the figure when it comes into stock? Or is there chance it could get pushed back due to me preordering late. Thanks in advance :)
What’s your take on the possibility of the pleather flaking? Some say to coat it with silicon spray to preserve it. These are expensive figures amd I always worry about the pleather dissolving. My hasbros and Medicom 1/6 have already deteriorated.
Hot Toys needs to come out with two more figures to complete the Anakin/Vader timeline: 1) a child Anakin, from Phantom Menace, and 2) Return of the Jedi Vader with a maskless headsculpt. Vader in the Bacta tank would the whipped cream and cherry on top.
It’s interesting that hot toys use like an almost chrome silver to checkerboard the face (vs a flatter silver) because those surfaces tend to disappear in shadow.... Also excellent review....! I have ESB Vader already but now I’m tempted to get the 40th anniversary
Great video Jedha, I have Empire version and I love it, even tho I had problems with entire helmet getting un·glued out of the box, gotta love that hot toys glue hehe. Wish you did more poses at the end of your videos. Hope you give us some info on that custom cape cause that can be sick and I would love to pick one up as well.
Hello guys i have a question. I live in Germany and here its pretty hard to get a good Hot Toys Figure for a good price. My question is, can i ship a figure from the US to Germany and how much money i have to pay for the shipping? Beforehand thanks for the answer.
What custom cape did you get? I’d like one too but they guys I know make them do not currently have any plans for a Vader cape. Also, is it safe to remove the head? It says in the instructions to not do it or it might get damaged.
Awesome review. You got Qui Gon coming in? I remember a few months back in a news update you were excited for it releasing in Hong Kong but didn’t hear you mention him at the end as a future review.
Hey hi Ryan, My Darth Vader figure just arrived yesterday this being my first Vader figure! I also bought two Storm Troopers for effect to pose with him...I agree with you, this is an absolutely an awesome figure!... Love the excellent quality of your reviews!! Thank you, Sir, much appreciated...Cheers Mate!
@@JedhaPatrol Thanks. The hood on mine will not come that far forward, so its not movie accurate. Drives me crazy. The material is bunched up in the back and sewn in place - thinking of cutting it loose.
The difference will be that for the ROTJ he will be fully unmasked as opposed to this one which only showed the back of his in the film. But there aren’t any suit differences
The only thing that looks odd to me is that the belt is riding to high on the waist. It looks a bit odd. I would say slide the belt down a bit. Not sure if it rode high in the movie though.
Wes Gibbins personally I’m ok with missing that one, as great as it looks. I would have totally regretted missing out on the OG Mando. It’s going to be more iconic.
Bro I got both within the same week, and I recommend doing everything in your power to get both NOW! The original Mandalorian is such a fantastic figure, as well as the Solo Maul, it has great articulation even though it looks like it won’t from the cloth 😀
I was hoping he would put it on so we could see what it looked like (even though he doesnt like using them ) it is a review right ? should show everything ;)
The batteries are a nightmare to get into the arm. It looks good lit up but I decided to stick with the no light up saber, to save messing when changing poses
Need damn another emperor 40 years anniversary. Because price for previous one is to damn expensive. I missed it :P But i got 1/4 Vader, now need HT 1/4 emperor.
@@carlosalcazar1192 I'm not sure about ROTS, but in the original trilogy there were subtle differences in his costume in each film. Compared to A New Hope, the ESB figure has a shiny helmet and silver highlights on his mask, and his robes are under his shoulder armor, as well as some subtle differences in the shoulder armor and chest panel. Probably, for most collector these differences aren't enough to warrant more than one figure, but there are fans who will want every iteration of the character.
An absolute beaut of a fig luv the ESB Vader best one yet, hopefully hot toys make a return of the Jedi version where you can remove the whole helmet! Only pain is the on this esb Vader is the helmet falls off to easy
Hi i dont have any darth vader of hot toys so i want to buy one can you tell me which one is the best version dath vader in hot toys so i can buy it pls pls i need a help 😭
I have had 3 1/6 Hot Toys Darth Vader's. My favourite is this one. I think that the proportions are great, I like that you can remove the helmet and see his scarred head and the base is brilliant. The other Vader's suffer from either having too padded a body or the the mask/helmet being slightly too big which can give the figure a bobble headed look.
If you would like a true 1/6 scale bespin diorama, Jazzinc makes an amazing piece that completely replicates the bespin platform in which we get a smaller version of here! jazzincdioramas.com/product/1-6-ultimate-bespin-gantry-diorama-i-am-your-father-diorama-wall-mountable/
Man, that Palpatine/Vader shot is the money shot right there.
What a good looking Vader and the stand/base for him is perfect, can’t wait for mine it ships this week
Its worth it this vader was my first hot toys
such an amazing looking figure. his shelf presence is menacing
I'm actually kinda surprised you got this Vader around the same time I did. It's so impressive, most impressive in person. He really could use a Meditation Chamber environment. Also, after having him displayed for a couple months, he went back in the box this morning, until I get a proper clear cover for him!
The only reason I passed on this one is because I went for the 1/4 Scale. Very pricey but worth it for me!

Great Review. I currently have the first release of ESB Vader. He's awesome! A 1/6 Meditation Chamber would be cool as well!
That would be pretty sick
I got it a few days ago and was shocked by how enormous it is! And honestly the only thing that I disliked about the figure is the fact that it doesn’t come with any neutral hands. I’d like the option to pose him just standing but I can’t
Love that kneeling pose with ol Palps. Gonna have to try that one myself.
I just secured him with a flexpay layaway, super excited. I adore your channel, you deserve much more attention. Finding high quality channels dedicated to my same hobby is always such a treat, genuinely thank you!
5:25 impressive. Most impressive.
I've been waiting for this video!! This will be my first 1/6 scale figure. Can't wait to receive mine, and also Beskar Mando later this year!
I have the non-40th Anniversary version, love the thing, it is amazing in person and I have it prominently displayed with the cool Empire base in my Detolf.
Am I the only one that thinks Vader looks like a praying mantis’s with his hands on his belt pose
I believe the Magnetic Cover is designed for Hong Kong Collectors to check the accessories inside the box when they get their ordered toys on site.
without tearing up the circle sticker
Viewers: man UA-cam recommendations are being boring lately

Got mine Dec 22nd before xmas. Freaking LOVE IT . waiting on my Boba. Great review!!!
It’s beautiful! That gloss is awesome! Waiting for mine to get home 😊

Spray gorilla glue
Is this pretty much the same version of the first release? Minus the package?
13:11 This figure teaching you to do front camera capture instead above.
above is easier gives the person more freedom to move unless you use a phone for the front camera
Hot Toys needs to come out with two more figures to complete the Anakin/Vader timeline: 1) a child Anakin, from Phantom Menace, and 2) Return of the Jedi Vader with a maskless headsculpt. Vader in the Bacta tank would the whipped cream and cherry on top.

Also excellent review....! I have ESB Vader already but now I’m tempted to get the 40th anniversary
Friend did you know how to put the arm with then you put the battery for the light saber its bery difficult!!
I need help putting the arm with the lightsaber also... XD

and how much money i have to pay for the shipping? Beforehand thanks for the answer.
I got this guy during its first release. Such a great looking piece.
Awesome video! Who/where did you order the custom cape from? Asking for a friend... ; )
Waiting for this guy too from POP collectibles. A 6scale throne like the 3,75” 500 version would be so cool!
Nice video just subscribed what’s the rotating display stand that your are using at the end of the video that you have Vader and Palpatine on??
thanks! just a simple turntable from amazon
This is probably my favorite Vader from hot toys.
Just got my vader in today loving it so far,only draw back is what you pointed out about finding the hand pegs
What custom cape did you get? I’d like one too but they guys I know make them do not currently have any plans for a Vader cape.
Also, is it safe to remove the head? It says in the instructions to not do it or it might get damaged.
jjjjjjaxon custom. It's a normal ball joint. I dont see why not
Awesome review. You got Qui Gon coming in? I remember a few months back in a news update you were excited for it releasing in Hong Kong but didn’t hear you mention him at the end as a future review.
Awesome review and posing again! I have the ESB Vader and picked up the 40TH anniversary version again. Lol
woah. Nice :)

Awesome review and Empire is my favorite Vader sculpt but man they really should've magnatized that helmet.
Good looking Vader. For some reason i think i should hold out for return of the Jedi. You know it will happen.
Great Review as always. Definitely going to get this guy after I get Mando. Also I don't know why it took so long but I've finally subscribed!
Good choice!
Got mine a couple of weeks ago and it’s fantastic! Still waiting on my 40th anniversary Boba Fett... keep up the good work!
Hope you enjoy it!
The force is strong with this one
Have this one and Boba Fett 40 years, both didn't open yet, don't know if i will open them :P
Please answer me
What camera do you use?
Spider armor mk iv looks really good
Where are you getting that wired cape
Where did you order the cape from?
Jedha, did you cut the sewing on the back of the Emperor's hood so you can pull it further forward? That's the one peeve I have with that figure.
nope, no modifications done.
@@JedhaPatrol Thanks. The hood on mine will not come that far forward, so its not movie accurate. Drives me crazy. The material is bunched up in the back and sewn in place - thinking of cutting it loose.
It was watching Ryan's videos that I started collecting and this was my very 1st hottoy
how much did you get yours for mine i got for $500
@@kelprakk1826hk
Other than the box is there any difference from the regular release?
Nope
Where are you getting the wired cape from?
What’s the differences between Empire and RoTJ Vader suits? I know they’re very subtle just don’t know what they are
The difference will be that for the ROTJ he will be fully unmasked as opposed to this one which only showed the back of his in the film. But there aren’t any suit differences
Should I buy this vader or a hot toys mando.
i bought the mando beskar armor im gonna buy this one next
Thank’s for the heads up on the MARK 5, just pre ordered it 👍
Hope you enjoy it!
Beautiful and very detailed figure !
In my eyes this has got to be the best Vader even so I had to have it
I'll get mine this month, can't wait 🤗
So should I get the Iron Man Mark XLIII or Mark VII for my first Hot Toys Iron Man?
7, hands down. The 43 doesn’t even compare
@@JedhaPatrol awesome! Thanks!
Where did you order the wired cape from?
jaxxon on IG
Man I need that emperor
The only thing that looks odd to me is that the belt is riding to high on the waist. It looks a bit odd. I would say slide the belt down a bit. Not sure if it rode high in the movie though.
Yesssss Sith Lord
Hopefully mine ships this week!
If you had to chose between Solo Darth Maul and OG Mando, which would you chose? I have both Episode One Maul and Beskar Mando on order.
If you end up regretting not getting one, I think it’ll be the OG Mando, not the Maul.
Solo Maul is about to be waitlisted
Wes Gibbins personally I’m ok with missing that one, as great as it looks. I would have totally regretted missing out on the OG Mando. It’s going to be more iconic.
@@hectorb3960 totally fair
Bro I got both within the same week, and I recommend doing everything in your power to get both NOW! The original Mandalorian is such a fantastic figure, as well as the Solo Maul, it has great articulation even though it looks like it won’t from the cloth 😀
Magnets on the box for no apparent reason but no magnet on the helmet where it’s needed lol
Amen
Sweet figure! I have the Hot Toys ROTJ Vader so I won’t be picking this guy up but he looks pretty sweet nonetheless
I like more the pose with Palpatine, the other one also looks great, but this one looks like taken out of a movie!!!
This is my very first star wars figure.Darth Maul solo and mandalorian on the way
the light up sabers didn't look any good?
I was hoping he would put it on so we could see what it looked like (even though he doesnt like using them ) it is a review right ? should show everything ;)
The batteries are a nightmare to get into the arm. It looks good lit up but I decided to stick with the no light up saber, to save messing when changing poses
@@dilwynwilliams3715 nightmare or not it's there and should have been shown and let collectors decide for themselves , thx for your opinion
The hands can be hard to peg in
Came for the figure, stayed for the shirt
Need damn another emperor 40 years anniversary. Because price for previous one is to damn expensive. I missed it :P But i got 1/4 Vader, now need HT 1/4 emperor.
How much is that thing cost
Would have been nice to see the lighted saber in the review
Awesome!!
They definitely made that new box worth the extra $20. Can’t wait for mine to get here 👍🏼
DAMN I NEED TO BUY THIS ASAP.
go for it
I want a Revenge of The Sith Vader so damn bad. They’ve made the prototype in quarter scale but no idea why they never officially announced it 😓
What? That would literally be the same as this wouldn’t it???
