Review: Very happy - Awesome looking and very good quality product
Review: The Best Vader Figure to Date - I pre-ordered this figure in July and it arrived by early September (almost a month before I expected). This is one awesome figure for $20 - it feels exactly like Vader, has incredible attention to detail, and has enough posability to put him in his classic poses. The accuracy here is astounding, so if you love Vader's look in ESB this is the one to have. The joints are perfectly tight without being irritating, and the hand holds the lightsaber really firmly. The colors are deep and dynamic while the helmet even has that classic shine from the film. MINOR negative points: - back of the helmet was slightly warped as if someone had melted a tiny bit of the plastic (barely noticeable) - the cape can be tough to get in just the right position since there's no wiring in it - the packaging was mildly damaged and scuffed up from shipping which would be unacceptable if I was a collector (luckily I don't mind) If you want the best six inch Vader figure don't hesitate to pick this one up! Even at $30 it's worth it.
