Hasbro - Star Wars The Black Series 40th Anniversary Darth Vader - Multi

Happy to say Best Buy came through and offered this wonderful figure. It's been 3D printed to make for accuracy but unlike it's predecessor that allowed for removable helmet this one was made to be as movie accurate as possible. Great find!! May the Force be with you!

The product packaging was in excellent condition. Looks really nice and love the fact that it is just like the 1977 one !!!!!!! but in 6 inch size, a must buy !!!

I planned on displaying this in the packaging. The box is heavily damaged, and there is a large sticker right on the front. I should have known better to buy collectible toys from a big box electronics store. Lesson learned. If you don't care about a damaged box, then go ahead. Otherwise get it somewhere else.

The main reason to buy this is for the excellent Darth Vader figure. The interlocking bases and background are a nice homage to the original "12-back" figures of the 1970s, and displaying all the Black Series 6" figures on the bases, and with the background, would make for a nice display (I haven't done that yet with mine).

This was a great deal, and it's nice to have the 40th Anniversary version of Darth Vader!

I am a huge fan of Star Wars and was very excited to see this item available at Best Buy. I have been looking for this for awhile and it was a great pick up. It recreates the nostalgia of the early bird pack from 1977 and any Star Wars fan would want this. However, I was less excited when I picked it up from the local store and there was a pick up sticker affixed to the box. It would not have been hard to place it on the plastic window so as to avoid potentially damaging the box.

I was skeptic at first about the quality of this figure but after opening the box i was pleasntly surprised by the quality of not just the figure but the whole package. The stand, which i thought was going to just be made of cardboard, was the deciding factor on whether or not to return it or keep it for me. The pegs on the base of it were a nice touch and definitely make the collector in you want to just go out and buy the rest of the set. I have yet to open the gorgeous cardbacked Darth Vader figure for fear of destroying it. The throwback design and the placement of the Kenner logo make this a must have for anyone, even for those who weren't around when Kenner was around. The figure itself, I found out after some research, was designed from an entirely new sculpt and does not borrow any pieces or paint from the other Black Series Vader figures. If you're reluctant because of the price, don't be. I myself will eventually get another to open and display next to my unopened one. This will possibly be the best of the Black Series figures and it is the only one I personally own due to its quality.

A lot of older collectors scoff at the 6" line of Star Wars figures. And though I agree with them on some parts (and still prefer the classic-sized figure), the 40th Anniversary collection of reproductions of the old Kenner card-backs are astonishingly cool! From someone who had the originals as a kid, this is a perfect collectors' item that reproduces the Early Bird pack from Christmas, 1977. It comes with an incredible Darth Vader figure (wow), and a display stand for the 12 original figures. They all fit the display, btw. The stand is a bit flimsy, and I found the price to be a tad high overall, but it's the nostalgic member-berries working their magic, releasing my childhood from its adult prison. This was indeed a fun spring/summer project collecting these figures, harking back to a time when my imagination still worked.
