MORE Darth Vader INFO

This Darth Vader figure was released single carded in a 6-pack during the Fall of 2022
All six figures in this multipack are straight repacks of the ones previously released in 2019 single carded, but this time the packaging was made out of thicker cardstock and every carded figure came unpunched
The set was a ShopDisney.com and HasbroPulse.com exclusive and cost $69.99 on both websites
In late 2023 and going into 2024 this particular 6-pack could also be obtained through the fan channel (specialty online shops)
The other figures in this set can be found archived on Galactic Figures here: Stormtrooper, Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia
Hasbro scanned the original 1978 figure and captured all the details (and lack thereof) in this figure, right down to the size of the peg holes in the bottom of the feet
There are some differences however, for example this new version of Darth Vader has different production numbers on the back of the legs and it has the Hasbro copyright printed on it instead of the Kenner name
Other differences can be found in the accessories, the lightsaber has a slightly larger handle than the original and even though the plastic cape has the same height it's about half an inch wider than the original (it wraps further around the figure in the front)
Make no mistake though, the accessories feel like the real deal from back in 1978, the weight of the accessories, the look, the colors, the details right down to the lightsaber tip, it all feels authentic
Darth Vader's plastic robe can be taken off
The lightsaber telescopes in and out of the arm and it can be taken out of the arm entirely
The packaging was weathered on the outside on purpose to differentiate the Star Wars Retro Collection from the original Kenner figures
Although this Darth Vader is a reproduction, it's simply amazing to stare at this pristine represenation of a figure many of us played with some 40+ years ago
This is nostalgia folks, so if you grew up with the originals back in the day, go and treat yourself, pick up some Star Wars Retro Collection figures, they are fun!
