Guess this hasn't been spotted in a long while huh?
The 1/4 market as a whole had a phase where it started to catch on, peaked, and then lately has seemed to drop off a bit. It's never been as popular as 1/6 of course, not even close.
Don't really know what to make of this Vader because being 1/4 in 2018 may be a tougher sell, but it's freaking Darth Vader. 1/4 is the only scale I collect, and even though my love for Star Wars has all but disappeared as of late I still really enjoy the original trilogy and couldn't possibly pass on Vader.
