  • Darth Vader is the main man of Star Wars, so clearly there have been countless action figures of him through the years, but how did we get from the original Kenner figure to the latest Black Series? Well, let's look!

    The Darth Vader in meditation chamber is pretty cool, too. I have that and a complete 1978 Darth Vader figure. I also have the cinema scene Vader with Jedi Luke and Palpatine.

    You should make a voting website so all fans can vote for their favorite Vader 3.75 figure. Then we can show the results to Hasbro to shame them for their failure in recent product.

    Great video, loved this as Darth Vader is my favorite character. There has been good vader figures and bad vader figures lol. My favorite has to be the 3.75" black series Darth Vader from ROTS. The Sculpt on the helmet was awesome and the articulation was premium. Still need a bunch of these, I'd really like to get the Battle damaged vader and a few others that are out there.

  • @andrewsedmera7905
    @andrewsedmera7905 5 років тому

    The Black Series Empire Darth Vader is definitely the best Vader figure, but if you're looking for the best A New Hope Vader, the 30th Anniversary A New Hope Vader is the one to get. I was hoping to see him on the list, but I know it's literally impossible to get every Darth Vader ever. Great video!

  • @therealThundergod132
    @therealThundergod132 7 років тому +1

    My favorite Darth Vader figure of all time is the Disney Premium Elite series Darth Vader. It is by far the best looking Darth Vader figure I have seen throughout the years. It's a really good looking figure, almost like a discount hot toys figure. I suggest you check it out for yourself! :)

    • @Jcc2224
      @Jcc2224  7 років тому +2

      I got it recently, it's alright, certainly not my favorite. I struggle to get it in poses I want and the proportions are a bit off. I prefer the 40th Black Series figure. The premium is still good though.

  • @darthvader.5115

  • @maddwoba
    @maddwoba 8 років тому

    Nice! I had them all at one time or another---even still have the exclusive Vader that came with the escape the death star board game---that battle damaged vader is still a favorite--just wish they could make a figure that good now--haha--good stuff my friend---thanks for sharing

    • @Jcc2224
      @Jcc2224  8 років тому

      +maddwoba Yeah, seems like Hasbro isn't lowering their figure prices even though the price of oil has gone down, damn shame, but the figure market's pricing isn't nearly as flexible as gasoline. But it's shocking to think that we're paying $10 more per 3.75" figure than when they started nowadays.

    @jointchief7560 5 років тому

    Nice line up man! I think I have 4 or 5 of these. Also 2 of the 6in Vaders I have.. Yeah removable helmets on Vader is a catch22. It's hard to get the angles and margins perfect on such a small scale. I still think TVC helmet is better than the 6in helmet. Great vid man!

  • @brianartillery
    @brianartillery 6 років тому

    My favourite Darth Vader figure is one you don't show: it's the 'Ghost Vader' from 'The Empire Strikes Back' - it has a removable head, and the mask comes off, to reveal Luke Skywalker's dead, staring face. It's eerie, and I love it.

  • @theonemasterwarhero
    @theonemasterwarhero 6 років тому

    There's 4 Darth Vader figures I'd recommend to you that I didn't see here which I think you'd agree are very good if you can get them.
    1. Star wars POTF Darth Vader removable helmet/detachable hand and freeze frame slide - this was the best 90s Darth Vader and holds up very well next to the new cause of how excellent the paint job was and how it looks.
    2. Special edition 500th Darth Vader - Darth Vader in his iconic regeneration dome we see in empire strikes back with his armour matching his episode 5 appearance...the figure is also removable from the dome as posable articulated figure and holds the lightsaber quite nicely if you can slide the hilt under his fingers.
    3. 30th anniversary #16 a new hope Darth Vader - which has an appearance in looks between ROTS/TFU and a new hope and has a removable helmet to reveal a young Anakin and comes with a stand that is shaped into obi wan's cloak after he became one with the force.
    4. 30th anniversary #28 concept Darth Vader - based on Ralph McQuarrie's first concept art designs for how the star wars character originally looked this is a very interesting Darth Vader figure and almost brings back some old memories and nostalgia of being a child and knowing the character for the first time and how terrifying he was...this figure has two changeable heads/helmets with different looks and a darkish pale blue lightsaber and a heavy blaster pistol 0_o
    I guess these are my more a less top faves alongside the battle damage/2012 vc115 emperor's wrath/2006 sage collection 013 hoth Vader and finally the ROTS target exclusive lava reflection.

    • @Jcc2224
      @Jcc2224  6 років тому +1

      Funny enough I already had 2 and 4 when I made this video, it's the same as the one I talk about at 6:40 but I kept it in the box. I didn't show the concept one because it's not a traditional Darth Vader.
      And 1 and 3 I ended up getting after I filmed this video!

    • @theonemasterwarhero
      @theonemasterwarhero 6 років тому

      Jcc2224 lol...yes I was aware the 500th figure was the same as the one at 6:40...apart from slightly different paint on some parts...great figures though...what did you think to 1 and 3?
