Star Wars 3.75 Vintage Figure Vader


Product Description

Measuring approximately 3 3/4" tall, Vintage 2010 Series 01: Darth Vader is presented in a reproduction of original style packaging, features multiple points of articulation, and is accompanied by character-specific accessories and a nameplate display base. Clad in his grim black regalia with distinctive skull-face helmet, Darth Vader is outfitted with cloth skirt and cape, and is equipped with his red lightsaber. Sustained by a mechanized life support system and prosthetics, the battered and disfigured Sith Lord Darth Vader is both the apprentice and enforcer of Emperor Palpatine, however, his Imperial caseload is compromised by his desire to capture and recruit his offspring Luke Skywalker. Initially caught off-guard by Lukeâ?TMs willing surrender to the Imperials as a gesture intended to prompt the redemption of Anakin Skywalker, Vader duels against his son while the cackling Palpatine eagerly looks on.

Awesome freaking toy
By Neutra-man
For this Darth Vader, I didn't really know what to expect. But once you open it, it is extremely detailed and articulate. It's helmet comes apart in three pieces but they're a little loose so I just super glued all of them on his head. He is such a pimp when you put armed clone troopers behind him on both sides. I love D.V. and even if you're thinking of buying him you should although his price has gone up quite a bit since I bought him even a week ago. Get him!

A Darth Vader for true collectors
By Enjolras
Warning: This is not the Darth Vader you should get for your 5-year old son. Rather, this is the Darth Vader you should get for yourself. This Vader is eerily realistic and incredibly detailed for a 3' 3/4-inch figure. The cloth cape and leg coverings flow very nicely. Moreover, this is the FIRST time the helmet comes off in three pieces. The top part comes off first and separates from the face mask. You can then pull the head off to take the breathing device off (not sure why you'd want to do that, but it's actually cool to try). The head is also a very well done likeness of Sebastian Shaw.

However, as I indicated above, this is not a toy for kids. In fact, it seems Hasbro didn't bother trying to make it durable. First, the helmet doesn't clip on and will fall off if you move him much. More upsetting is that Vader's right hand isn't closed enough to grasp the lightsaber. It's actually pretty easy to have him hold it with both hands (left on the bottom, right on top), but it would have been nice to have had more options for posing. Also, you might want to glue down the silver neck chain because it doesn't stay down.

Overall, this is a great figure - for collectors, not kids.

Darth Vader in miniature
By SnowBreeze
Very posable. I bought it to practice photography lighting.
PROs: Detailed with a cape made out of some polyester fabric.
Cons: The helmet comes off way to easy and it is made out of two pieces.
