Is that a new ANH Vader pic from 1977 on page 62? It looks like the classic Kenner action figure photo but from a slightly different angle...

I have to admit, page 51 is the best I've seen of RO Vader yet!

IF you guys could change Vader's suit for a more contemporary look, what would you change? Growing up I always thought he was awesome, but then as an adult I always wondered about some design choices. Like having the switches, and voicebox right out there in the open. This has probably been talked about before, but Im not going to sift through a ton of pages to look for it.
But then again who knows. Maybe its designed in such a way because Vader knows that nobody would get close enough, or be able to hit him to mess with his suit. Just a thought.

It looks like a Rubies Supreme.

Yeah no way that's one of the screen used suits.
Sorry if this was already mentioned and I may be off but did anyone else notice the very matte finish to the underside (neck area)
of the mask during R1 as opposed to what I have previously seen as a semi gloss?
It almost looked like matte black car-warp vinyl which would be fine and durable but just something that stood out to me

I just wanna chuck my two cents in and agree with this, evidence being all the stills from Battlefront. I'm not sure how you all feel about the photogrammetry done on the vader stuff and how it compares, but I feel like the way the helmets lit, especially under the dome makes it appear "off". I don't have the image on hand, but the reflections on vader's right side of the mask under the dome, and it being lit too bright, makes me feel like it's wrong.

I think an important question which will probably never be answered is, was the Gunmetal on the ANH intentionally brushed on for a specific look, or for quickness or other filming necessity? If it was the latter, I can live with the RO changes as I really don't think modern audiences would get the ANH look most of us love. Especially with everything shot in Super Shiny HD.
Also, like others have mentioned, the original mask changed drastically from ANH-ROTJ, so as far as the RO mask goes, I think it's not too bad of a job. I also think the filmmakers thought by going as far as adding details such as the C-scar, they were going the whole Mile in terms of accuracy and pleasing fans to replicate the ANH mask.
Just my thoughts though

I suspect the brushed gunmetal was for quickness and they didn't think anyone would notice. As far as I understand the alternating black/gunmetal is to help the appearance on film. It isn't necessarily meant to indicate how the in universe helmet is actually colored.I think an important question which will probably never be answered is, was the Gunmetal on the ANH intentionally brushed on for a specific look, or for quickness or other filming necessity?

I should have been more clear, my fault. I was more referring to the Brushed on effect, as opposed to the later sprayed on effect. I understand that the two tones were for lighting/filming effect, but what reason would they have to brush it on? The RO was never going to be brushed on in my opinion, but what was their reason for this in '76?
