The figure is great and I believe is identical between the "Deluxe" and regular. The deluxe comes with an LED base, which in theory should make the presentation cooler, but has a fatal flaw. It requires batteries and drains those batteries within 1 week of continuous operation. If it is that power hungry, then they should have instead supplied an additional method of plugging into an electrical outlet. Now it's just a glorified, over-sized stand for the figure to be on. I would recommend that everyone avoid the deluxe version, save some money and buy the regular version. I love the figure itself!
