• This Black Series Darth Vader (Duel's End) figure was released exclusively through Target in October 2023
• The figure captures Darth Vader's look after fighting Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi tv series
• Hasbro included a lightsaber hilt, a red blade and a removable soft-goods robe with Darth Vader
• You can attach the saber hilt to a hook on the belt, but the experience is somewhat lacking due to the hook's small size and the tendency of the robe's soft fabric to obstruct and dislodge the hilt from the hook
• The red blade attaches nicely to the lightsaber hilt
• Darth Vader can hold the lightsaber well in both hands
• Even though there is a fully sculpted Anakin Skywalker head sculpt underneath the helmet, the helmet can't be taken off
• The damaged and sliced through chest box looks cool
• Small details such as the smaller chin vent (smaller than the Empire Strikes Back helmet) and the pointy widow peak on the helmet were captured in the sculpt
• The head sculpt with the battle damaged helmet looks very nice
• The inner soft-goods robe has a slit in the back
• The outer soft-goods robe has a hole in the back and various tears along the bottom edge
• Where this figure unfortunately lacks however is with the paint application, this figure looks like it came fresh off the assembly line with all clean clothing when it should capture how beat up and dirty Darth Vader was after fighting with Obi-Wan
• This version of Darth Vader, like many other Black Series figures recently, had very loose ankle joints which made it difficult to pose properly without having the figure fall over

As the momentous battle between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi nears its end, Kenobi peers past the armored visage of his former apprentice to see what Anakin Skywalker has become.
