I really want that damaged cloth cape to pair with my OWK Damaged Vader. Dont really care for the figure for my collection, its cool but I like how I can keep my OWK Vader clean but switch him up to a damaged look without having 2 figures taking up space. I applaud anyone who can fit and afford multiple versions of the same character in their collection!
That little piece is an optional look you can add to head sculpt look right next to the right side tusk. You can have headsculpt look as if the whole top part is removed or add that little piece to show that it was destroyed off of his face. Pretty cool!
First time in 5 years i'm so excited about new reveal. I was looking at his pictures the whole day when they were posted. Didn't like the Kenobi version, but this one is just gorgeous, already preordered deluxe special, I will display him with half face mask, it's just so Force Unleashed (and keep deluxe headsculpt just in case, there's definitely more effort in this figure than usual, so I want to change options some times) Beautiful, absolutely beautiful
Always loved seeing Vader battle damged, probably prefer this over a clean and classic look. It just shows how badass of a tank he is. This is my first Pre ordered Hot toys since its too good to pass up lol
I don’t know, I think if they used pleather for this Vader, it might’ve worked in the figures favor. On the owk Vader, if the pleather flaked and if you are displaying him in his damaged look, the flaking pleather would’ve blended in with the look. If you displayed him in his non damage appearance, it wouldn’t work. If pleather flaked on a battle damaged Vader would actually work and add to the damaged look. Only in this scenario they may could’ve used pleather, I still hate pleather, but I think this is one of the few times where the flaking pleather would work in favor of the figure.
Why would you want a figure to degrade? Sure it would blend in more than other figures, but if you can avoid a suit literally decomposing idk why you wouldn't want that
@@NOTNAFilms hot toys is too lazy to try any other materials, like they’re using pleather as a way of getting out of sculpting the boots or belt and trying a different material for the body suit. For the price of these figures as they are, hot toys should not be using shitty materials that will deteriorate. It’s like they’re using pleather as a built in guarantee that you’ll buy another figure from them, which is an unethical way of business. We just want to buy these figures, pose them, put them in a cabinet, and not have to worry about anything. In the case of this figure, I think pleather body suit would work in this figures favor, I’m not saying I would want them to keep using pleather, because fuck that shit, they need to stop being lazy, stop using pleather, try different materials, and stop this unethical way of business. I would like to hear the excuse of why they use pleather so much, I want to hear how bad it is.
@@NOTNAFilmsalso I’ve had my count dooku figure since November 2022 and I don’t have him in a dynamic pose, and I haven’t used any leather products on him, and his boots haven’t flaked.
Great figure preview! When I first saw the reveal I thought to myself they're making a statement with this release. There is such a story to this figure it's incredible
Even if it is not a review of a figure and only a preview STILL AWESOME AND LOVE HOW YOUR SO GOOD AT DESCRIBING IT! darth vader looks so good! Who is exited?
I think someone else said it, but the little piece of battle damage is a swap out for the broken helmet on the face sculpt. So instead of the the half face, you'd get the whole face uncovered
I usually like figures that are screen accurate and apeard in live action movies BUT❗️this battle damaged Vader looks INCREDIBLE😱🤤 I was on the fance with the Kenobi Vader, but now I know, this is THE ONE for me! Amazing figure, and quality video as always, thanks Justin! Waiting for Grievous 🙏🏻😬
5:55 Well, you see, *Darth Vader* is, of course, my future husband, so naturally I find the "sad, puppy-dog look" kind of adorable. 🥰 But seriously, this figure is _The Shiz, the biz, the bee’s knees, the dog’s whiskers, the cat’s sack_ etc. etc. I know what _I’m_ gonna be asking *Santa* for, this Christmas! 😍❤️😍
"You don't Know the Power of the Dark Side!" Talk about the Dark Side!? What a Spectacular Looking, New Hot Toys Battle Damaged Darth Vader 1/6 Scale Figure! Thanks Ryan for taking the time Snapping the Video once again and Justin for Previewing! 🌟
That little piece looks like a side part of vaders helmet. Maybe you can add or remove it depending on how much damage you want him to have. Man he looks insane.
Just put a deposit down for the deluxe exclusive version of this figure, only time I’ve opted for the super exclusive one, but how could I resist this figure?
I’m not certain if I’ll use the exclusive head sculpt on the figure, but all of my figures with alternate sculpts have the sculpts displayed alongside them. (With the exception of Jango, whose head sculpt was donated to one of my 501st clone troopers.)
I really like this one but i kinda like the dome damage on the kenobi vader more. Im only getting this because of the material and im sure a new vader will come out with a clean nylon suit possibly 2.0 a new hope ver making the obi wan obsolete
I think it's really weird that the Hayden under the damaged domed sculpt is different than the Hayden under the damaged un-domed sculpt. It looks like 2 entirely different people under the helmets, where the domed sculpt looks much more like Hayden. Just a small nitpick for an otherwise incredible figure.
Thats the point. The head on display is the Kenobi head. The other damaged helmet is for the proper depiction of when this look occurs in The Force Unleashed.
@@Chronically0nline I disagree that was the point... no where was TFU mentioned or advertised. I can see what you're saying, but the figure doesn't even match how he looked at the end of the game either. This is much more reminiscent of the Darth Vader Mythos statues that released a while ago. In either case, whatever the point was, I'd argue for the "better" Hayden likeness on both sculpts.
@@PixelPeteH Why would Lucasfilm allow advertisement of something thats been smuggly disregarded, and labeled as "legends" since 2012? I want whatever you're on!
It looks like they're using the same mask and face sculpt from the Kenobi series Vader, with a different damaged helmet piece. I wonder if they will be compatible. I've pre-ordered this figure, and I'm trying to decide if I should get the head sculpts from the Kenobi Vader to go with it.
that cape with Vader's helmet silhouette looks awesome, that would be the accessory that would made me decide to buy this new Vader as I recently received my Vader from obi wan series, the figure is awesome just correct me if I am wrong but I think that the robotic arm should be the right arm instead of the left one
Mate i pre ordered the new special edition Deadpool and it said in the description on Sideshow that is was ready to ship for middle of 2025 and then i get an email saying it will be delivered next month!! Buzzing
I also just found out that the piece of battle damage you were wondering about goes on the sculpt without a helmet to make it look like the facemask has broken off
They already announced his Lord Starkiller armor figure so I wouldnt be surprised if Hot Toys gave us a regular version of Starkiller in the future too!
@@thearthurmarston9897hope so but I just saw a vid of Sam witwer reacting to the starkiller figure on stream and he literally didn’t even know it existed. So if he didn’t know about his own fig I doubt they’ll try to work with him for another. Like I said hope so but doubt it.
Looks awesome! Do we know if the piece of Vader’s helmet on the unmasked version that is only available from the “special edition” version is removable so that we can display him with just the Hayden Christensen sculpt?
Amazing looking figure. With Kenobi Vader on hand and the ROTJ Vader on the way, do I need this one? Or, do I not need the ROTJ Vader? One clean Vader, and one with some sort of damage, should be enough for folks (like me) who are not Vader fanatics, no? This one pretty much gives you only damage as an option, and the upcoming ROTJ is (minus lightning effects) the all-clean option. Then there is the Kenobi Vader, a mix with options for clean or somewhat damaged. So if I want one 'clean' and one 'damaged', what do I go for? Decisions, decisions.
Figure looks amazing! I don't get the "genius" and all the comments about the cape though. Does no-one remember the prequel poster with Vader's face in the cape from when the movie came out?! Seems not!
@@JustinsCollection Yeah nah mate, I respectfully disagree. Do you do it for a living?! The point is the brilliance is in the idea more than the execution. And the poster was the idea, this is just transcribing it. And in this case of course it's redundant if the helmet is on. I'm not saying it's not cool. But doing concepts, sculpts illustrations and posters, nah the idea is the impressive thing. And to get a bit Karen for a moment, the word/adjective is brilliant, not genius/noun. I know I know...
Here’s a fun one for all the real fans of Star Wars. What video game is this based off of I’ll give you all a hint it’s neither one of the Jedi games it’s actually from a much much earlier game. The time period is set between episode three and four.
I don’t get it. They are making enough different versions of Vader, not the same figure over and over again. So, why in gods name are they still doing pleather for the most part? It’s not like they are building in the need to replace them when they get damaged. They are different figures.
The cape makes it even more unique, because the cape resembles the mask of darth vader.
Holy shit you’re right I can the shape of his mask from his cape.
Agreed
Exactly what im saying but my friend says im tripping
@@MightyWolf803 it’s definitely intentional 👍🏽
It’s so obvious when someone points it out. Now I can’t help but see it! But personally, I love it…. masterfully done!
I never noticed the silhouette of Vaders face in his cape 😮 That’s Epic!
Yeah it’s dope!
Glad we’re getting a cloth cape as well. Sculpted cape looks cool, too!
Yeah for sure!
I really want that damaged cloth cape to pair with my OWK Damaged Vader. Dont really care for the figure for my collection, its cool but I like how I can keep my OWK Vader clean but switch him up to a damaged look without having 2 figures taking up space. I applaud anyone who can fit and afford multiple versions of the same character in their collection!
Oh cool!
The cape forming the shape of his mask is just next level
So cool!
It's literally a grown up version of this force unleashed Vader figure I had as a kid 😫
Sick!
I'll be using the Hayden sculpt. This is going with Starkiller for a Force Unleashed display.
Cool!
That little piece is an optional look you can add to head sculpt look right next to the right side tusk. You can have headsculpt look as if the whole top part is removed or add that little piece to show that it was destroyed off of his face. Pretty cool!
Glad you said this I was just looking to make sure someone had before I did 😂❤
Oh cool!
Never thought hot toys would have a figure with a solid cape and not cloth, but it looks so good!
Agreed
OMG I JUST NOTICED THE CAPE FORMS HIS HELMET!!! That’s so cool!!!!
Yeah!
The display base is actually poseable! That’s why it’s slightly tipped
It is?
@@JustinsCollection yea if you check on sideshow one of the pics says it’s adjustable and shows a silhouette of it moving.

So good!
While I did P.O the deluxe version , don’t think my shelf for enough height for that sculpted Cape 😂
Fair
I'm tempted to get this. But I'm not bothered about the sculpted cape at all, I'd rather just have the regular version with the fabric cape
Fair enough

What's the difference between this and the one he reviewed 5 months ago?
This has more damage and a sculpted cape
I’d say go watch the review again and you’ll see the clear difference :)
@@curtisboothe1763 much appreciated, really useful comment
Is this battle damage vader from the force unleashed game or from the comics

Yep!
04:07 looks like part of the missing bit of his mask to me. Although why they’d include it I’ve no idea!😂

This is Force Unleashed Vader…battle damaged from his fight with Starkiller.
