both darth vaders are released about six months apart by medicom toys between july 2005 n jan 2006. i'm fortunate to obtained both vaders as of 2day.
vader 1 is the classic vader from star wars ep4-ep6 while vader 2 is from the final portions of star wars ep3.
the significant differnce between the 2 vaders highlights on the a) headsculpt. classic vader has oldman anakin skywalker headsculpt while ep3 vader still has the fresh wounds from burning at utapau.tho many fans are against 2 vaders, especially anti-medicom so-called toy collectors, but TRUE fans of star wars like me knows and loves detailing. medicom toys has also made changes according to the movies in the overall vader suit .... couple of other differences i discovered are:-
b) central chess panel on the classic vader is held up by strap while the ep3 vader's panel is stuck on his suit.c) classic vader's lightsaber clip on the left of his belt is missing in ep 3 vader as he uses the nokia round clip.
d) belt boxes, belt buckle, cod piece rectangle are different.
d) vader's front panel are held by suspender straps from behind in the classic while the ep3 vader doesnt have this straps
d) classic vader boots looks different from ep3 vader.
e) the right is classic vader's robot face in slightly dull color while ep3 vader has a bighter hue.
f) lightsaber hilts are different.
g) chess/shoulder panel of vader is more exposed then classic vader and the cape chain is longer in the ep3 vader.
folding up hands and 2 pair more of hands are introduced in ep3 vader package and the box is now in gold instead of silver foil for the imperial log and lettering.
did u drop your lightsaber again?
i love both headsculpts so i need to have both of them. but in overall i still like classic vader more.
