Only One...question...💁🏻...what TVC Darth Vader do you think would be the best to display alongside Vader's Apprentice having a meeting with Doctor Aphra...❓️❓️❓️
The guy who played Dengar was a beast and he actually did some work in the suit in ANH for Prowse
😮😮😮 never knew that!
This is one of the best TVC figures released in 2022 with the head sculpt the articulation and the accessory are just on point! Great video O.O.K keep them coming.
Thanks man! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 I need to think about figure of the year... 🤔 but this would be up there! 😉👌🏼
It's probably my favorite figure of the year . I wasn't sure I would want a new Darth Vader all that much. But it is so well done.
Yes finally made it to the big guns, really enjoyed your viewpoint. I got two of these, his cloak just envelopes all his awesomeness. The black series one was not to be sniffed at, but this is next level. The head and neck is just awesome that smooth poseability
This could be figure of the year imo, the Sébastien Shaw one will be based on this, dude deserves a Vader that does him justice
Best Star Wars 3.75" figure Hasbro has ever made for this year! I would like to try replacing the VC241 cape for the retro vader cape just to see how it'll look.
A fantastic Vader, it took them a few attempts, a bit like Boba Fett, to get it right. I think we’ll no doubt get the damaged Vader with part of the helmet/mask missing.
Cool review, O1B. You mention the quality of the fabric. I was reading in the Blue Milk TVC book that soft goods are something of a lottery and is difficult to control. When it works, it's stunning eg Wooof, Yak Face, Bib. When it doesn't work, it can seriously harm the aesthetics. Keep up the great vids, ma man! 👍
Cheers for sharing that info GA! 👍🏼 and thanks man! Glad if you liked vid! 😉👌🏼
I got this version of Vader purely for my executer scene in my diorama collection, it's awesome that they included alternative hands, more TVC figures need this feature. Obviously I used the pointing finger and fist (on the hip) hands for my particular use.
Magnificent figure and card combo👌 If Carlsberg made Vaders … 😁 My fave tvc purchase of 2022. Look forward to see what they do with ROTJ Vader next year👍
I think this may be the best 3.75" Vader figure ever made. About a month after I got it I saw the Death Star II figure, which is essentially the same figure with removable helmet and removable right hand. I had to have that one too.
Great review O.O.K. 👍🏻 This is the figure of the year for me.
Got this again recently to replace my last one. A great great figure. Love the accessories,the articulation,just the whole look of this Vader is great. Definitely one of the best figures that I've had in my last collection,and now my freshly started collection. This is the 4th time I've watched this video lol.
Nice one Darren, indeed... so sorry for your losses. Any updates on that?
@@OnlyOneKenobi No nothing at all. I've checked everywhere,no sign of anything anywhere!!
It's a very gosimar thin Cape.. when flayed out..best when bunched up a bit..hope they release a damaged helmet of him in 6" or TVC..otherwise I go custom..cheers Nick🍺🍺🍻
Hey Nick! Love this Vader.. and he looks great on the shelf😉👌🏽
Great figure this, just recently got an opener myself.👍
Brilliant figure! My 2022 figure of the year!
Funnily enough,you mention Dave Prowse. He was born in Bristol,in a place called South mead. Well I was born at Southmead hospital myself, and I grew up just around the corner from where I was born. It's great knowing that Darth Vader was born and lived in the same place as I did.... many years later I must add for myself lol. I've said before on this video, and I'll say it again. This version of Vader I will say so far for me,is the best figure I have brought so far this year. I can't wait until the new Vader (death Star 2) is released. The articulation of this one, together with the removable helmet. And that facial sculpt for the new one looks damn amazing!! Best Vader I've had so far, and only £7.99 from "Game"...... still can't get over that price. In my local Game, this and also Obi Wan(wandering Jedi) have become a bit of a peg warmer lol. There's loads of them. Great video......again,as always 👍
Nice man! 😉 although, I know people who will disagree with you about that new facial sculpt! 😯🤫😉
I see what you did there, "Body Builder" That's hilarious! Because they actually had to re-build Vader's body. Cheers from Missouri, & Happy Holidays!
😆😂🤣 very true my man! Haha 🎅👌🏼
Figure of the year for me!
It wasn't TVC as far as I know but Luke Skywalker #21 in the 3.75 Black Series Orange Stripe card, (Dagobah Training) was the first time I saw multiple hands included. ( 2 grasping hands & 2 fingers splayed out hands, for hand stands but could also be sorta kinda used for arm stretched out "using the force" pose) Anyway I too agree extra hands should be the norm...would love a "pointing finger" hand for Han Solo! Love your videos from South Florida, US!
Absolutely right man! And yeah... that Luke was an accessory fest! Haha 😄
so far .. and i dont really collect those... but so far the best vader ///
Yeah that is definitely a great Vader figure, without doubt the best one they have made to date. Lets get that one on an original New Hope card...that would be cool.
Totally! 😉👌🏼
As a fan of both BS and TVC, this figure without a doubt was a "rule of two" figure.! Absolutely amazing, brilliant figure. Also I am a Vader junkie so there's that as well lol
Hahaha 😆😉 cheers Derek! 🍻 😉👌🏼 O.O.K 🎅
I got this figure from star action figures it came in a star case. Without doubt this is my favourite version of Vader Hasbro have made.
Agreed KT! The only way they could improve it would be the quality of Cape as mentioned! 🙃👌🏼
Awesome Dark times is way superior
God I need this Vader so much!! I’ve only got an episode 3 slashing lightsaber Vader,and a special edition silver Vader. This one looks so great though. Can’t wait to see this hanging on a peg!! Great review,it’s made me want to get hold of this pretty sharpish!! 👌
Dew it! 😉👌🏼
Luv this artifact ! Added it 2 my collection - - 🙂 Boss never look'd Smoother ! ❤ ~
😆😉👌🏼
phenomenal figure
Awesome video brotha! Don’t have this figure in 3.3/4 but have it in the 6 inch line. Cheers🍺🍺🍺😎🎸
Man... there's LOADS of Vaders in 6 inch... but I guess you mean the one they released specific to the Kenobi series? 🤔 (p.s I guess they will have, but I don't even know! Haha I don't really follow the 6 inch line! 🤦🏻♂️🤣) #ignorance haha (me)
@@OnlyOneKenobi yeah man. The Kenobi series 6 inch Vader is awesome. Ha!! Too many Vaders🍺🍺🍺😎🎸
I have like 10 vader figures. Only 2 are duplicates.

My figure has amazing printings and I’d no issue with the cod piece or the helmet’s dome. The fabric is fine and I can let go for the saber for now. And the figure I picked up was the only one (no pun intended) on the peg.
Such variation in figure quality is not great. Your opened Vader is far from what we deserve. The other one, I think, looked better indeed.
Regardless, STILL an amazing figure! The articulations, the sculpting… the authenticity here is the first step before we get the best OT Vader.
Haha love the pun. 😆😉👌🏼
So you actually reckon the one I opened was inferior to the other? (Coz as you could probably tell.. I felt this!)
@@OnlyOneKenobiI think the best option would be to heat up the helmet a little. On my TBS Boba Fett, I learned it the hard way. This may solve the issue with your Vader.
Just got this today (Saturday) What an amazing figure. Again,brought from “Game” £7.99!!!! Such good prices for an amazing definitive Vader. I had 2 Vaders,but only a silver special edition figure,and then a Vader where you squeeze his legs together and he slashes his sabre about lol. But this is such a step up for my collection lol. I got Obi Wan Kenobi wandering Jedi last week so at least they can be displayed together. Great figure,great video/review as always. Going to have to get another though soon with the new rotj Vader!! 👍👍
Omg... what a bargain!!!!
Buy them all at that price !!
Would you have a link to your rotating display stand? I really like the slow speed.
I don't sadly... bought YEARS ago, but it was on ebay and it was from China
(som seen in web reads like up 6000,00usd for that 1977 i have here) person that will to can have it .
You didn't kill Anakin... Obi wan....... I did. Now I will destroy you!
That's the one part of Kenobi that I LOVED! 🥰👌🏼💙
This is a great Vader, but two things. One, his robes flow under his shoulder armor like in ESB/ROTJ, but this series leads right into ANH where his robes flow over the shoulder armor. So inconsistent. And two, that crouch flap/padding doesn’t look right to me. It sticks out too much. I’m knit picking for an otherwise very close to perfect Vader. I love the more streamlined robes (not excessively big and flowing like we’ve seen in the past), and the extra hands are a nice touch. To me this is a definitive ESB/ ROTJ figure and not a ANH Vader. As far as it being a Kenobi Vader is meaningless as that series was highly forgettable. So this guy is parked on my TVC shelf right next to my Emperor and his throne. 😬
The cape though is made of an awful material that looks nothing like the silky smooth texture of the original. This is used across the board now and it needs to be replaced asap.
Same as that Vader.... such an epic figure, but could be SO MUCH MORE with a better quality fabric for the Cape. 😔👌🏼
I had that as child and wail some like no else reson i looked off my old toys or better wht left off it i rembeder them as by Matel made ,moment i had a 1977 Falcon as a Tie fighter wher playd with round playmobil space ship... the Tie fighter lost a wing and whent trashed , the falcon where given to my neview(sitser youngest) as he where 6 about he later losd it' . Some puppetsi found in the Playmobil Spaceship(i gues he find that ugly so it stay at grandm, theller ) Darth Vaider as ther Tie fighter pilot or stormtopper have Big divence to the show ;those a origin Merc. to the Fighter ther is a else copamay on it, not Mattel not Hasbro says : C GMFGI.1977 .Just on the origin darth vader the lightsaber disaper in the right arm mean is part off it , Cape a sabor is lost here .
