Darth Vader (Bespin Encounter)

Well, not surprisingly, Hasbro did include yet another version of Darth Vader in the first wave of 3.75 inch figures from the Star Wars Black Series Collection.

Darth Vader (Light-Up Lightsaber)

Today I’m reviewing something that is, evidently, a novelty figure. However, even within the constraints imposed to this type of toys, I have to admit Hasbro did a really good job with this Darth Vader (MH20), released as part of the 2012 Movie Heroes line.

Darth Vader (X-Ray Head)

Darth Vader (X-Ray Head)

I’m one of those folks who gave up on buying Darth Vader figures years ago. Yet, the new “X-Ray” head version was just too tempting. Appearance: This figure is like a lot of other Vader and Luke figure and tied to one particular scene from the films. Specifically, he’s from the scene when he is […]

TAC#16 Darth Vader

TAC#16 Darth Vader

I understand that all the kids think that Darth Vader is cool. He’s the bad ass of the galaxy, fights with a lightsaber, and chokes people from across the room. However,how many of figures of him do we need? The vintage line had one. And for the most part, that’s all we needed. His costume […]

Master Replicas Scaled E3 Darth Vader Lightsaber

Master Replicas Scaled E3 Darth Vader Lightsaber

I have to say I’m one of those people who normally doesn’t win things. However, I was lucky enough to win a this saber through a trivia contest at Sir Steve’s guide. I really want to thank the Master Replica’s folks for those contests. It’s a fun to have a trivia contest and see everyone scramble to come up with […]
