I thibk only the new battle damaged Vader with the mask shaped cape will top this Darth Vader figure, for me the new damaged one is the ultimate Vader, but this one is beautiful too!
@@CollectSideshow One of my favorit SW moment when Vader finally returns to the light and saves his son, so emotional still brings tears to my eyes, even as an adult, this figure is perfect to recreate that scene
I'm glad they fixed the headsculpt. It looked like a recast from the Empire Strikes Back Vader at first. I'm glad I preordered it. He should be arriving soon.
That dial of destiny indiana jones is said to have real leather jacket, shoes, and whip, and at most he’s worth $335. Why in the flying fuck can’t hot toys use real leather for figures?
@@fishersfilms2828 it’s like they’re expecting us to go out and buy products to try and keep them from flaking, that is bullshit, for how much these figures are worth they should not require any maintenance in order to last. All we want is to buy a figure, pose it, leave it in a pose, place it in a cabinet, and not have to worry about anything.
They could have very simply updated the suit to by made of Nylon as they are using with the new Luke and battle damaged Vader. Sorry not sorry but i’m not spending $550 CAD for a figure whose suit has a shelf life of 3-5 years.
@@mutantstrawberry2478no he represents Vader in ROTJ. He has some post duel accessories if you choose to use them but its disingenuous to say he only represents that scene.
I’m so excited for this figure! He’s been a grail for my hot toys collection, and I’ve skipped every previous Vader, including Kenobi, in anticipation of this one!
Awesome figure one of the most iconic in SW history glad I pick it up even though I have the Kenobi version but that one is because it has the best battle damage I ever seen and this one has Sebastian Shaws likeness. Most impressive.
Thank you to the team for making such a great video! Much appreciated to those who shoot and edit this content. Can't wait to get this figure in hand, have an awesome day 😁
I have my younger version of Vader, I’m getting old version on now and can’t wait for that battle damaged version of anakin next year and the circle will be complete 🤣🤣🤣🤣… what else could they come up after these three releases? Another Vader with More accessories 🤔🤔🤔
What type of paints do you use. Is it mostly the commercially available stuff? Or do you use other paints. I see the artists tables filled with all sorts of cups with paint. Always wondered what paints you guys use. And do you prefer water based paints like Vallejo and such, or the more the Tamiya/MrColor like paints?
If everyone stopped buying the figures made from pleather, then Hot toys would have to change material due to lack of sales. But everyone still keeps buying them and complaining about it. Don't but the figures, let hot toys sales drop and they would have to consider a change.
Got this guy on pre-order. I feel like these videos always drop too soon, as Sideshow is usually one to two months out from shipping. Would love to somehow see SIdeshow start releasing Hot Toys sooner. I get that they cone out of Asia, but deals can be struck can't they? Regardless, can't wait for this one!
One more monthly payment to go with the Deluxe/Special Edition. Judging by seeing this Unboxing/Reveal, Sideshow has it in stock or soon in stock and ready for shipping? Usually Hot Toys blogger photos come first from Hong Kong to gauge out when the figure is ready to ship in Hong Kong and follow by in North America at Sideshow.
The pose with Luke is just AMAZING! Great figure overall 🎉

@@markkaszasdon’t forget young Vader.. all three releases are great! After that what else could they come up with?
@@Nelsonr1978 you mean the Kenobi Vader?
Well for me
1; Battle Damaged Vader
2; ROTJ 40th Vader(this one)
3; Kenobi Vader dx
That was a very fun scene to recreate with these figures, glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
@@CollectSideshow One of my favorit SW moment when Vader finally returns to the light and saves his son, so emotional still brings tears to my eyes, even as an adult, this figure is perfect to recreate that scene
Sideshow why aren’t you telling hot toys to stop using pleather and use durable materials for your costumers?
We do NOT like pleather aka faux leather.
Absolutely amazing
Agreed, a must-have for Darth Vader fans! Thanks for watching 😄
Faux leather, not nylon. The next version maybe or the next perhaps next one...
That step diorama is awesome, Hot Toys having been killing it with the dioramas recently.
Agreed, this diorama really helps make for a great display!
I cant wait to receive mine.
Hope you love it when this joins your collection!
Impressive, most impressive. Now, ship soon!
Haha this figure is currently expected to ship August 2024 - December 2024!
That head sculpt 🔥🔥🔥
Yes Hot Toys knocked it out of the park with that head sculpt!
That last pose was absolute 🔥
My favorite pose so far.
I'm glad they fixed the headsculpt. It looked like a recast from the Empire Strikes Back Vader at first. I'm glad I preordered it. He should be arriving soon.
His suit is once again made of goddamn pleather. Anybody who hates hot toys using pleather please reply so we can rant.
Seriously!! If I'm paying several hundred dollars for a figure I want it to last a long while and be posable!!!
It is not only Hot Toys but Sideshow as the official distributor should demand from hot toys better quality materials for Sideshow customers.

Looks great but pleather means it will deteriorate within 5-6 years.
At least the damage will make sense given this figure represents a Vader fresh out of a duel.
@@mutantstrawberry2478no he represents Vader in ROTJ. He has some post duel accessories if you choose to use them but its disingenuous to say he only represents that scene.
Will applying 303 protection extend that life a few extra years ?
@@andrewpayne5093 yes, or paint sealers.
Ok cool. I only have 3 hot toys with leather boots and belts. I apply 303 to them every 6 months and keep them out of the sun and away from dust
I’m so excited for this figure! He’s been a grail for my hot toys collection, and I’ve skipped every previous Vader, including Kenobi, in anticipation of this one!
Great choice with this Hot Toys Darth Vader, hope you love it!!
Definitive Darth Vader
A must-have for Darth Vader fans!
Pose 3 is GLORIOUS!!!
Haha yes the diorama base helps you recreate that iconic scene! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Ani has the high ground!!
Awesome figure one of the most iconic in SW history glad I pick it up even though I have the Kenobi version but that one is because it has the best battle damage I ever seen and this one has Sebastian Shaws likeness.
Most impressive.
Yes definitely an iconic figure, a must-have for Darth Vader fans! Thanks for watching 🙂
Pose 3...Anakin finally has the high ground?!?
Finally. Someone got it.
Awesome work as always Terry. And that last shot with Luke! 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching! ❤
Fantastic! The thumbnail for this video had me thinking “Darth Heisenberg” 😜 I want this!
Can’t wait for this figure amazing likeness in the sculpt! Terry Smith is the 🐐 no one else comes close to doing these unboxing’s.
Glad you enjoy these unboxings, thank you very much!! ❤
Thank you to the team for making such a great video! Much appreciated to those who shoot and edit this content. Can't wait to get this figure in hand, have an awesome day 😁

Awesome! This will be my first Hot Toys Vader and excited to get my copy. 😁
Very exciting this'll be your first Hot Toys Darth Vader! Hope you love it, thanks for watching 😄
Me to! Thought my favourite character from my favourite movie would make a fitting first hot toy!
Awesome! Thanks for first look!
Our pleasure, thanks for watching! 😊
He looks great.
Glad you like it, thanks for watching!
When are the Terminator and Predator going live guys?
Yes he does look great!!
Glad you like it, thanks for watching!
I PO'd the standard verion last year. Should be arriving in Ireland soon.
Very exciting, hope you love it! 😄
Can’t wait to receive mine!!
Hope you love it, thanks for watching!
Just got mine in hand yesterday, still debating whether to display him with helmet on or not
@@belfast4893 with that sculpt I’m thinking I’m gonna have to have him sans helmet like 90% of the time! 😅😂
Now we need palpatine with throne 2.0 please!! I got him but without the throne 😒😒😒
I can't wait to get mine
Hope you love it, thanks for watching!
Thank you. 👍🏻👏🏻
Thanks for watching! 😊
I'd love this

Do the stairs have a slot for a stand to plug in? Cause I wouldn’t feel comfortable posing Vader on top of them unless he was secure.
Yep.
Gooooooood
Nice first look. Unfortunately you never show how you adjust the rolling eyes. I have to wait for the figure reviewers.
I think it’s the same way you access the eyes with that just released 2.0 1989 Batman.
@@duncanmcdanielStill...
@@68great the head is hollow and slides over the neck connector. You can reach in and move the eyes.
@@duncanmcdanielMuch appreciated. But I would like to see it.
Thank you for this feedback, @68great. We will pass this along to the team. 👍
Is it possible to put the railing for the stair diorama on the opposite side of the stairs?
No.
What type of paints do you use. Is it mostly the commercially available stuff? Or do you use other paints. I see the artists tables filled with all sorts of cups with paint. Always wondered what paints you guys use. And do you prefer water based paints like Vallejo and such, or the more the Tamiya/MrColor like paints?

Is it leather or pleather?
It’s fake ass leather aka pleather.
Faux leather 😞
Really?
That’s your takeaway from this?
@@youwebzplease is a garbage material and HT should stop using it. Its going to flake and disintegrate in a few short years.
@@youwebzIt’s a valid takeaway when you’re spending premium money on a figure made of cheap materials that won’t last.
When is it shipping?
This figure is currently expected to ship September 2024 - December 2024!

Indeed.
How many darth vaders will be made every year there’s darth Vader release what’s this tenth Vader?
WHY FAUX LEATHER. WHY??? USE NYLON

Can't wait to get this 6 months from now! I pre ordered awhile ago
Please zoom into the accessories and not just point at them from a wide angle so we can get a better look at the details. Thanks
Is the body based on Sebastian Shaw or David prowes?
Pleather. Yeah easy pass.
Those stair dont lead up to Palpatine's throne.
The lightsaber beam is a huge L
They skipped all the inner details on the helmet!
how could they do this us? damn it hot toys! another disappointment!!
This is not an unboxing! Its an advertisement! Thumbs down.
this is a MUST HAVE for any Vader fan, great review by the one and only Terry! thanks 🫡
You're very welcome, thanks for watching!! 😄
faux leather on a $400 figure,,,,,i skipped this purchase sadly!
For a figure of this price this suit should’ve been real leather or something else that does not require any maintenance. That is unacceptable.
