im not that into the figure, but i really like the colors on both, especially the ketchup and mustard one. and, of course, anything that is a nod to darth vader is a no brainer aweseome.
congrats on the score ed!

thanks for the kind words guys!
i'm super excited about them both, but the vader just makes my collection complete.
it's such a nice feeling to get the figure you're after, and the time it took to find made getting it that much more rewarding.
the colors are so bright on the ketchup and mustard one too....(that's what i;m calling it now josh)...just brings out the other colors in the collection that much more

Best Vader homage out there.
I like to think of the red & yellow Dako as Hulk Hogan or McDonalds Dako...maybe Communist Russia Dako? NAH Ketchup & Mustard is way better. They look fantastic together.
