Yea most of these figures should have just been patched to perform better, especially the 3.0 figures who were just released. It would have upped customer confidence and set a great mold for the industry. I still would have bought some of these only so I could have had the new move-sets, but it's a shame I probably would have had to pay a premium (I highly doubt they would have been a full 12" and a full $45 though).
I'll admit though that Vader is a bit underwhelming in the game as-is. His attacks are too slow, his special is extremely weak (Darth Maul's special, in comparison, is very similar and much more dangerous as it's instantaneous while Vader's you have to charge-up) and honestly I'm not a fan of his stomping as he swings, just doesn't seem right to me for some reason. His new mold pictured here is also extremely cool, much more "Vader." Even though I feel he should have been done "right" the first timer around, he's one figure I gladly would have payed a premium to have a special edition of, I mean it's Vader.
Also, Elsa would have been more merited than the others as it's an entirely different costume, and an awesome one at that. I think the mold looks great.
