This Darth Vader action figure was released in April 2017 in Hasbro's 6" 40th Anniversary Collection
Hasbro included a plastic display stand with the figure and a reversable cardboard backdrop
One side of the cardboard backdrop features the Kenner Early Bird Kit art work from 1977 (all the figures lined-up), the other side features the "X-Wing in space" art work which was part of Kenner's second mail-away item, the Action Display Stand from 1978
The display stand has pegs on it for figures to be placed on
Even though the display stand looks great, it's a little too small to accommodate twelve 6" scaled Star Wars action figures comfortably
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 and inner soft-goods robes
Darth Vader was sculpted very well, the small triangle vent on the helmet's chin, the widow peak on the front of the helmet, the slightly reddish lenses, the bigger chest box, all those details are represented in the figure
The inner and outer soft-goods robes might look bulky in the images, but it feels and looks just right in person
Hasbro gave Vader the correct height and he stands about one head taller than a regular 6" Star Wars action figure in The Black Series
