Another great Vid pal…
A conversation that still divides the community!
Personally I’ve owned all…
I should remain loyal to the ESB as it’s my fave film, however, I found the Vader a little squat and stocky…
My second fave Vader is the R1 version, quite menacing, appears taller but a tad skinny looking…
My number one spot has to go to the Tarkin Double pack version…
Just feel it has the best all round qualities!
May The Force Be With You

The Kenobi Show....sounds like a variety show. Soon playing at a Death Star near you. 😂
Excellent review.

Great looking vader right there I think for my first hot toys figure I’m probably gonna wait till echo from bad batch releases absolutely love that show

[eliasgarza]

This Vader was the first hotToy I bought and I haven’t stop buying since lol

[bobdarcy]

Excellent review as always. This ESB Vader would have been perfect, if it had a magnet to hold the dome in place.

Very nice TK421 lad shame you don't see Sebastians face but cest le vive.Love the light saber but the mating call of a Yorkshire man ( HOW MUCH) .Wise words from posing padawan, Vader ay no Opera singer.

Wow the difference in the Hot Toys lightsaber & the CCFL is massive. Been meaning to order afew there awesome. Hot Toys really need to step there game up. Seems like they have gotten a little slack in recent years! Used ro be cutting edge. They need to update lightsabers also add USB instead of those crappy batteries that run out in no time. As well would like to see them add magnets to the feet to be able to stand them on a base without those crappy groin & waist grabbers!! That's well overdue!! There easy to fix as well. Wouldn't take to much effort & would take their figures to the next level.

When all said and done I don’t think you can go wrong with any Darth Vader, he is such a commanding figure that your eyes are drawn to him, the diorama with this Vader though is a massive plus point for sure, it really enhances him on the shelf, after a wee delay Paul from CCFL Sabers finished my one for Rey and it’s a brilliant gold/yellow light 💥can send you a picture to view if interested, as for episode 5 of Obi Wan💥….. no spoilers but how brutal is this young Darth Vader?, would love if they released a Reva figure in edition to the Darth Vader from the show, can’t wait for finale🤩thanks for another great video, as always looking forward to more great content when you get the chance, stay well 👍

I only have the 40th anniversary. ESB Vader hoping to grab afew more at some point! I do think they've done Vader a diservice by not making him alot taller. Darth Vader towers over everyone else in the movies!! David Prowse was 6 ft 6 which is what George Lucus wanted. A menacing figure, a giant of a man whom exumed power & fear with his mear presence!! Having Hot Toys make him pretty much the same as everyone else fails to deliver that!! Would be cool to see them make the Kenobi Vader taller but I doubt they will. I think Vader should be a full head taller so about almost 2inches that would be the height I would like to see him at!! Hopefully the Kenobi Vader is even better than all the rest by far. It's a hard choice picking which Vader is best.

Great figure, but am holding out for the 1/6 ROTJ version.

Could you share where you get your custom ccfl blades from? I need some for my new ESB Vader and Bespin Luke, when he finally arrives. Planning on building my own fully lit diorama of the Carbon Chamber stairs to recreate the scene when they first cross blades, and I need these to really pull that off! I'm in the US, if that is an issue. Thanks bud!

I am now a proud 🔥Toys owner!

P.S. Some people have been frustrated because Darth Vader wears a mash-up of costume items in Kenobi.

[roadkxll_]

Kenobi Vader has to be the best, more recent usually are better quality/closer to screen. Plus, I know for a fact we have to get an anakin counterpart, for that alone that has to be the best 😂😂

[DioBrando-jmuf]

What order should I buy Hot Toys in? New ones while they’re at a good price, or old ones in case they disappear?

[jimbeanthelegend]

I put a bit of blu tack inside the helmet

Great video mate, I got the 40th anniversary version and it’s my favorite. Would be interested to see the differences with the Kenobi version when it comes out.
