First off, I want to say that I am impressed with Hasbro's Revenge of the Sith line up so far. On April 2nd, I bought about half of the figures avalible, Darth Vader included.

One thing that Hasbro has improved on in the action features. They have improved ten fold from when they were first introduced in 2002 with Attack of the Clones. What is different? Well, they actually work for starters! Now granted, there are a few bad apples in the bunch (like Chewbacca's rediculous looking "wookiee rage") but all in all, they are all improved. This Vader is no exception. His lightsaber attack actually looks like a lightsaber attack, adding to the play value for kids and collectors who still play with their toys (I am one of those man-childs myself).

There is one...slight...problem with this figure though. His inability to stand up and stay up, which makes it hard if you want to pose the Dark Lord of the Sith on a shelf for all to see. It takes a lot of trail and error to get him into a pose where he doesn't fall over and doesn't look stupid. So if you have any action figure stands laying around, use them for Vader, otherwise you well be spending some time trying to keep him up. But other than this one flaw, this figure is fantastic and worthy to be in any collection.

4 out of 5 stars.

Darth Vader. Is there any villian in movie history who is as cool as this guy? (Sauron maybe?). Making his triumphant...uh...debut in Star wars Episode III, Darth vader becomes imortilized in plastic (again).

It's a little strange writting this review. After the excellent line of Lord of the rings figures, it's a little hard reviewing these new Star wars figures. Because for one thing, they're...uh...small. Really small. The dark lord of the sith barely reaches the hieght of Gimli the dwarf! It's kind of sad in a way. After Toybiz set the standard for excellent movie based action figures, Hasbro's star wars seem a little old-fashioned.

Not that there's really anything wrong with that. Even though this mini-vader is tiny (just a little over 4 inches to be exact), he's still pretty impressive. The details on his body are impressive. There are wrinkles in his black pants, there are buttons on his chest plate and belt control panels, and the famous helmet is perfectly captured in all it's grimness.

Darth Vader only comes with his lightsaber, which easily slips in and out of his grasp. He does spot a nifty, yet finely soft cloak (that's not removable). His action feature is simple (he swings his lightsaber down in front of him). I wish his right arms were more posable. Both are permenently placed in a crooked position, though the lightsaber arm can be twisted just below the elbow.

So while this tiny figure may be a little behind the times, it's still a nice piece to have. With it's small size, it's perfect to place in your office, with Vader's stern gaze overseeing whoever dares to come and talk with you. Or perhaps you could take him on a car trip, where the Dark Lord will happily stay on your dashboard to survey the dangers ahead.

There have been many great Vader figures in the past,this Vader is good but it's not much compared to it's predecessors. This guy is overrated due to it's rarity since fans love Darth vader. It's not as good as you might have expected. First of all it lacks articulation all you can move are his arm, legs and head. This vader is basically already preposed, since you can't clench in one of his hands and you have to move one of the legs back for it to stand.Other than these problems this figure has a nice sculpt, an okay feature and a very nice cape. These figures are very popular so grab one when you get the chance, but it's not worth paying more than $10 for it.

I already own quite a few Star Wars action figures, and wanted to add this Darth Vader to my collection. Unfortunately the best thing about it is the look of the plastic package.

Once I unpacked it, it looked cheap and worst of all, it does not stand, nor does it come with any kind of support base or platform.

So you can't display it and it is way overpriced.

This is a great toy for kids because it's durable, as well as for adults, because it's well-made with a lot of details. A great collectible for your Star Wars collection!

the best vader ever i hate the others like lava vader and red carded vader this has a tiny bit of flaws like it cant move its elbow and knees ya and just like that other guy said "its bascicaly already poesed" well you got to addmit he is right.

This is a great figure to put in your collection. It looks as eventually you won't be able to find this one. So go get it!

This figure is one of the best Darth Vader figures.I think this toy is great because the design of the figure is pretty cool. I like the cloth cape alot.There is a small problem with standing the figure up.But still it is a great figure.It also comes with a red lightsaber that fits into the figures hand easily. GREAT FIGURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Star Wars fans will certainly want to add this to their collections but it could have been so much better. It isn't poseable enough and how much trouble would it have been to add Vader's signature hissy breathing? I agree with the critic who said not to pay more than ten bucks for it. Six or seven at most.

THIS IS THE COOLEST FREAKIN TOY EVER.THIS TOY IS AWSOME I BROKE IT WHEN I OPENED IT.BUT I MANAGED TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER,AND IT STILL WORKS PERFECTLY FINE!I SUGGEST YOU BUY THIS TO.BUT I WISH IT CAME WITH A STAND.
