• This Darth Vader figure was a Star Wars Celebration London exclusive in 2023
• The figure wasn't available at the show but attendees could scan a QR code and place an order online through HasbroPulse.com from where it was mailed out later
• For collectors in the United States HasbroPulse.com mailed the figures out in the middle of June 2023
• Even though the figure is a tribute to Return Of The Jedi's 40th anniversary the commemorative 40th JEDI logo was not used on the packaging
• The figure is a repaint of the Darth Vader figure from 2020
• The red paint application mimics the colors found on the Revenge Of The Jedi poster before the title was changed to Return Of The Jedi
• Darth Vader's lightsaber comes with a removable red blade
• Once the blade is taken off the hilt it can be hung from a hook on Darth Vader's belt
• The figure is able to hold the lightsaber well in both hands
• There is no head underneath the helmet
• It's possible to pop the head off and remove the outer soft-goods robe
• It's unclear if the inner soft-goods robe is removable on this figure, it hardly moved when tucked, and even if it's removable it will be very difficult to put it back onto the figure
• The inner and outer soft-goods robes might look bulky in the images, but it feels and looks good in person
• Hasbro gave Darth Vader the correct height and he stands about one head taller than a regular 6" Star Wars action figure in The Black Series
• The figure stands well on display even in more dynamic poses
• The included small cardboard poster looks nice, unfortunately the same image is featured on both sides, it would have been nice to see one side say REVENGE while the other says RETURN, this way collectors could have displayed it with the figure either way
• There is a cardboard display stand included which you can pull out of the side of the packaging, unfortunately there is no easy way to get to it and you'll have to cut the tape open to access it (a similar stand was included with Obi-Wan which had unobtrusive access to the stand)
• All in all, this figure is a nice tribute despite being just a repaint of a previously available figure and if you appreciate Return of the Jedi and collect the 6" line, then this is for you!

Revenge Of The Jedi, Episode VI's working title, was featured in the film's first trailer and early promotional materials. But just before its release, the name was changed to Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
