Other than the cape.....This figure looks pretty cool! Ordered one vie HLJ. Reminds me of a young Episode III Anakin/Vader seen at the end of the film. Looking forward to the Stromtroopers. The promotional images of this figure is a bit deceiving...they actually make the figure look more anime based where the final product shots shy away from that. I hope this happens with the Stormies.

It's the anime poses they love so much.....
The sculpts are based on the old kaiyodo 1/6 model kits they made back in 95-97. The kits were vinyl and at the time were the best sculpts on the market, some folks used the vader to make. Custom 1/6 figures....

The cape just kills it.

Would've loved a cloth cape as a switch out like the herocross batman

Can the plastic cape be taken off? I may just create a custom cloth cape if that is the case.

It is interesting that the helmet looks more like the one from a new hope for you but the rest of the costume is clearly from Empire strikes back.

So I'm assuming that the little wheel dolly between his legs is the only way they could make him roll?

It contains a small pullback motor according to the Japanese text.

Looks like a new hope cuz of the way it hangs over the face, plus the widows peak is present like it was on the kaiyodo 1/6 kit


The sides of the cape can detach but not the middle portion....

I like it; stylized but not as much as I thought. A touch lanky in the legs but really expressive.

This is the most fun I've ever had with a Darth Vader figure-- and I have them all --almost (except for vader vs Luke diorama, any bronze statues, yoshi-toku figure, and samurai taisho era vader)

Great pictures! Really looking forward to getting this guy now!
