Accessory Details: 1 Red Lightsaber, 1 Removable Soft-Goods Cape
MORE INFORMATION
This Darth Vader figure was released single carded in The Vintage Collection in December 2020
This version of Darth Vader is based on his appearance in Rogue One and A New Hope
Hasbro correctly added the inner robe over the shoulder armor and gave Vader's helmet red lenses
The figure comes with a removable soft-goods cape and Vader's signature red lightsaber
The saber fits well into both hands
The lightsaber blade is not detachable from the hilt and there was no single non-ignited lightsaber included
There is no hook on the belt where a non-ignited lightsaber could be hung from
The soft-goods cape doesn't work well on this figure, it has a life of its own and just wants to stay off on the sides (it makes Vader look more Batman than Vader)
The sculpt feels dated when compared to other figures released in the same wave, there is no ball-jointed waist, no swivel thighs or ball-jointed/rocker-jointed wrists
The black on the cape looks glossy and reflective which is not how we remember Darth Vader
Unfortunately there wasn't a second set of hands included with Darth Vader so that the fantastic pose from the card art, where he raises his fist, could be replicated
Darth stands well on display
All in all this is just an OK version of Darth Vader, but the figure does looks outstanding in the Kenner-inspired Rogue One packaging
