• This 1995 version of Darth Vader was the first attempt at a Darth Vader action figure by Kenner after the vintage line had ended in 1985
• There was an accessory variation - the first release came with a long lightsaber - the second and corrected version came with a much shorter and in-scale lightsaber
• Pictured here is the error - first Darth Vader with the longer lightsaber (you can find the second release here: POTF2 Darth Vader
• The "He-Man look" was typical for the first few years after the modern line started in 1995

• The figure's plastic cape attaches nicely to the neck and covers the body quite well
• Vader stands nicely without help from a stand
• None of the armor pieces - or the helmet are removable

Once known as Anakin Skywalker, expert pilot and hero, Vader studied the ways of the Force under young Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi. His impatience with the Jedi training made him susceptible to the dark side, which corrupted him as he gave in to his anger and aggression. Vader was almost killed in a confrontation with Kenobi, and was forced to adopt his current life support systems and fearsome body armor.
