I was right.

I ended up with two regular Vaders.

I still need a Darth Sidious.  :P

Anyone want to trade?

How many Darth Maul variants are there? I've seen three different Darth Maul bust ups now, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me....

1

2

3

#1 and #3 seem to have the same pose, but the faces/mouths look a little different, no? Or is it just me??

I can confirm on the Stormies that the arms and right hands are swappable which means there are 12 different poses these can be made in (if there are three right arms and two lefts and two guns)

Although, to me, it sure looks like there are 3 rights and 3 lefts meaning 18 different poses

Looking at the pic again, I have the two rather close LEft arms (hand pointed up and hand at the waist) so I'm almost positive its 18

3 Variants Should Be 18 Configurations (Gun #1 and Gun #2)

Right Arm 1
Left Arm 1

Left Arm 2

Looks like three different heads, though the angle on one of those shots might be enough to make the difference.

I like the Royal Guard, but I wished it looked more like Kir Kanos or Carnor Jax. I would have bought it then.

I took a look at the pic on RS and then the pic on EE, I didn't see a lot of difference, but then I've missed stuff before.  Anyone else see a big difference?

The Royal Guard Bust-up seems to be exactly the same, nothing different I could see.

The Holo Emperor/Sidious is kinda nifty and should look good with the AFXpress Holo Sith 2-pack!

Yeah, I'm curious about that Royal Guard as well...  With all the "Ruby Red" description crap, it seems like they're trying to make it sound different than the regular one, though that certainly doesn't appear to be the case.

Definitely getting tired of all the Holo bust-ups though, especially on characters that weren't "holo" in the movies (at least not in those poses).  Wonder how many more they'll keep making like this.  If it continues to go on, I may just ditch the Holo sub-line altogether.

The Holo line is becoming like the chorme line for them.  When you can't come up with a differnet pose lets make it either chrome or holo, great.   ???
