This review is from: The Empire Strikes Back Darth Vader Bespin Duel (Toy)

I was impressed w/ the way they re-sculpted the helmet... looks more symmetrical and solid than the original. The eyes have a red tint as well... very nice. However, the first thing that came to mind when I removed Vader from the packaging was "How did the evil Galactic Overlord become so skinny?" Darth Vader has been one of my all-time favorite characters from the original Star Wars trilogy, and I was a little bit disappointed with this figure in particular. In comparison w/ the orginal figure produced in the 90's, this new one appeared a bit slim. I mean, the original looked a bit more buff and intimidating. But perhaps I may be too picky w/ detail... to someone else, play-value may be more important than detail. Yeah, and his lightsaber action is cool... strong enough to knock Jango Fett off the shelf. Anyway, let me sum it all up.

Pros:
-resculpted helmet
-costume is a bit more detailed than original from the 90's
-magnet in left hand supports lightsaber handle, to give a more dramatic pose
-"lightsaber-slash" action, wider arc than the Bespin Luke

Cons:
-doesn't appear as buff as 90's original
-waist and arms are in awkward position, but this is probably to make the lightsaber motion easier
-cape comes off too easily when swinging lightsaber

5.0 out of 5 stars I AM YOUR FATHER..., May 10, 2002

The most impressive Vader sculpt to date. Cape is sculpted to simulate "wind-blown" effect on Cloud City as Vader extends his gauntlet to plead with battered Bespin Duel Luke (sold seperately) to join him. Press the button on his back and Vader delivers a slicing attack with his saber that cuts the included vertical support beam accessory in half or to deliver the fatal blow that severs Bespin Duel Luke's detacheable hand! Saber features a metallic hilt with detachable blade that can be "summoned" into his magnetic hand by the Force. To sum it all up, this figure is "Impressive... Most impressive..." Bespin Duel Darth Vader is figure # 30 in Collection 2.

this figure is sweet!! he comes with a lightsaber and a walkway piece with pipes you can slice off. i havent opened my vader because i have the very rare kind with his fingers curled instead of them sticking out. if you see a vader with his fingers curled get it. even if you see a darth vader bespin duel get it anyway because he is very rare. it took me two months to find it.
