STAR WARS The Black Series Darth Vader 6-Inch Scale The Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary Collectible Figure, Ages 4 and Up

This was a Christmas gift. The boy was thrilled with it. He now has a whole collection.

I pre-ordered this figure in July and it arrived by early September (almost a month before I expected). This is one awesome figure for $20 - it feels exactly like Vader, has incredible attention to detail, and has enough posability to put him in his classic poses. The accuracy here is astounding, so if you love Vader's look in ESB this is the one to have. The joints are perfectly tight without being irritating, and the hand holds the lightsaber really firmly. The colors are deep and dynamic while the helmet even has that classic shine from the film.MINOR negative points:- back of the helmet was slightly warped as if someone had melted a tiny bit of the plastic (barely noticeable)- the cape can be tough to get in just the right position since there's no wiring in it- the packaging was mildly damaged and scuffed up from shipping which would be unacceptable if I was a collector (luckily I don't mind)If you want the best six inch Vader figure don't hesitate to pick this one up! Even at $30 it's worth it.

I've really enjoyed the 40th Anniversary Empire Strikes Back line of the black series. So far I'm impressed by the quality of the figure. I won't deny that I got lucky with one that doesn't have some issues on the back of the helmet. The articulation is great. This time thankfully UPS and Amazon did not damaged the cardback, but since i'm not a collector it really doesn't matter to me. Big thumbs up. Hopefully my next order for the rest of the line is as good as this one.

This is by far one of the best figures of the Series. It is very accurate and extremely high quality. 10/10 would recommend.

In my top 3 Vader figures.

Nice ESB 40th Vader on vintage card back. Again I’m not opening it. I am going to keep it in card. Nice to add this to the collection.

It's basically a figure I already have multiples of but in 40th anniversary packaging. I collect all things Darth Vader and do not re-sell them. Was very disappointed to receive it stuffed in a box that was too small which caused significant wrinkling at the top of the card. Oh well, like I said I do not re-sell this stuff. It will never be worth anything in the future anyway. The figure is cool but it seems kind of lazy to take the same figure from a few years ago and put it on a new card and sell it over again. Seems to be a big thing. Bought a "new" Darth Vader Hot Toys figure from Sideshow and found out I already have it. It comes in a different box and costs $40 more for the same figure.

Without this fantastic figure, my collection would be worse less. With this Darth Vader the sun is shining now!
