Found this pic... it's a metallized version like the Toy Fair Vader. RS says it's "rumored" to be a TRU exclusive - boy, I won't have any trouble finding THIS figure, if that's the case.
Seems like Hasbro would use this fig as something a bit more special than just a store exclusive though...you know, like something to be given out at a convention, or something like that.

It is probably a fake. Some of those customizers are pretty slick.
Yo momma. That's right, I said "yo momma".

Good call, perhaps it is a fake. Given the way that RS tends to haphazardly post rumors as "news", that could be the case. Still, I wonder....Originally posted by Rogue II

Nah, there doesn't appear to be any Photoshoppery going on in the image. If it's fake, it's just a painted R2 on a custom card. I'd buy one of these if it were real and the price were right, though.Originally posted by Twodot Tatooine

We got the picture from the same source and it's a very good source so I don't think it is fake.

I think the picture is real. I am in college for video and graphic editing/design. There is the possibility of it being a custom figure yes, but I think and hope its the real deal, but I'd rather not have to pay as much as I did for the Vader.
