Lol, I saw your insta pictures of this Vader and I was like, I want that Vader, it looks sick! I get a few seconds into the video and then, boom, line is cancelled. Great review Dan. Keep 'em coming
Rogue One finally explains why the robes are over the armor. Vader bacta bath is disrupted by Krenic's unannounced visit and has to get dressed fast and did not noticed the robes but it was too late to do anything about it. It also explains why he's so pissed at the beginning of A New Hope.
I've been 50/50 on this Vader, but now I know that this line will be canned soon I feel the need to pick this up. It looks brilliant and would work well as a 40th anniversary centrepiece!
Toy Galaxy ... $35 value!? How does it compare to 1996 12" or electronic 1998 12" (if not the Prequel ROS one in 2005)!? I know we are not comparing it to the $9.99 12" ones (both TFA and RO packaging) but 12" is not a desired collector set unless we go back to when Hasbro made SW full-size (post 1999 cheaper quality)!?
Have this Vader and like it. I also have the Mark from Battle of the Planets in the background. Have you ever reviewed that line? If not could you? I'm a huge BOTP fanatic and I have most of the action figured they released around 2002 and the 12" dolls. Would love to see a review from you guys on anything and everything BOTP.
We'll definitely work in some BOTP stuff at some point. I' love those Medicom RAH figures. The only bad part about them is that they didn't make the whole team.
for whatever reason these figures are just not selling. my local disney store still has theses all in abundance,they were $20 last time i checked,but that was several weeks ago,saving one for the next collector shouldn't be a problem.
Great review, love your channel and as always trust your opinions above the other toy-centric channels out there. The amount of generally high-quality Star Wars merch out there these days in incredible. There are multiple choices in any given scale- Figuarts, Mafex, Black series, etc. Even the kits offer significant quality over price. For that reason I'm a big fan of your "vs" videos. I would love to see some comparing and contrasting 3 or 4 different versions. Just to get your thoughts.
Thanks for watching and commenting. We'll always run vs. episodes when appropriate. We can't do them for eveyr figure that gets released of course. But we try to hit key pieces.
What the hell is up with the scaling? Krennic is towering a Deathtrooper, Jyn is two heads shorter than Vader, Krennic can look Vader in the eyes. What the actual fuck?
Been looking for a Vader (just have the 31" oddly enough with a distractingly small head as well) and might have to grab this one. Unfortunately none of the 4 Disney stores in my area have it in stock :( but 29 bucks on Amazon isn't too bad. Can it do the classic Vader "hands on belt buckle" pose?
Oh wait, the figures I seen at Walmart were more like "He-Man" size. It took me a minute to make the "Disney Store exclusive" remark to sink in. But they were new SW classic figures that I never seen yet. ✌️
I own the claw machine, and my daughter wanted to see if it would pick up her Wonder Woman and Supergirl. I just decided to toss in her 12 inch Vader as well. Thanks for making awesome videos. Love your channel.✌️
I have this Vader and I love it!!! Agreed that the head is perhaps a tad underscale, but its still a decent likeness. And for £15 its a steal! The cape can and chain can be easily modified to make it look more accurate. It's a must have figure!
I picked this figure up yesterday at the Disney store for 11 bucks it was the last, Vader they had in store, and the others were marked between 10 And 15 bucks, so if suggest hitting up your local Disney store
Over the shoulder, it makes me look bigger, and can you tell the exact location of the crater that used to be Manhattan? I wanna bury my collection for future generations 😂
Really? I thought they did. Regardless the only one that i wanted was Vader and they didn't have it at none of the Disney Stores around me. I'm tempted to go to the actual World Of Disney store at the Disney Walk at Disneyland but im pretty they wont have it there either....
I'm assuming about the cancellation. Can't imagine them bringing the line back out at $35 again just to put them back on clearance because no one bought them assuming they were going to get marked down to $15 again.
I don't know if they've been cancelled or not but I was so ready for a RotJ Luke and then the last jedi version of Kylo, maybe they'll be back one day! But I think the price point is incredible this is literally the closest you'll get to a hot toys or sideshow collectible without being broke afterwards 😂
The jyn Erso head sculpt looks generic but the krennic head sculpt perfectly captures the likeness. What is it about female faces that action figure sculptors just came get right
Diamond Gaming I think it's the same with drawing female and male faces. You can almost use as many "lines" as you need to detail a male face and it will look accurate. But every line you add to a female face you'll also add age. In some ways you'll have to do more with less. So for female faces you'll really have to get the structure of the face accurate. And even in this age of 3D modeling and printing there are still some inaccuracies that can occur between design and finished product.
You'd think they'd just laser scan the actor/actress nowadays and 3d print the first off. We have so much better tech for capturing likenesses now, it amazes me that these figures still have blobby heads.
Whacking a Dragon or Hot Toys body in those Battle of the Planets Medicom suits and they fill out beautifully. Always annoyed me with their loose fit til I tried that. imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img924/7962/SW5Xo0.jpg
I bought two for 15 each at the disney store along with another deathtrooper and the rest of the line. So bummed they did those stupid ass diecast figures for like 2 years and then cancelled these so quick!!!!
This line is cancelled? Where'd you hear it? If so that's terrible, I love this line and was looking forward to stormtroopers and new characters. Great review Dan! I got this thing a while ago and it's pretty impressive, though not nearly as fun to pose as Kylo Ren. Kylo's just a super fun figure.
I'll be honest I'm just making an assumption based on their sales. I hope they're coming back with more. And if they do... I'll wait until they get marked down again. Not the best strategy on their end.
Jcc2224 ... Stormtroopers!! I know the 501st $9.99 12" ones I could not find in TFA and RO but the First Order ones were abundant in my area with Darth Vader, FO Tie Fighters, Shocktroopers and Kylo Rens (but Target multi-packs duplicated the shelf warmers)! I would like to get 12" 501st from OT because my 12" from 1996-98 Darth Vader/Emperor dolls are not surrounded by troopers from then (only 1 Tie Fighter, 1 Imperial Guard, no Stormtroopers, 1 AT-ST Driver, etc. that would look better with quality 12" if Disney is making them)! NOTE: Closest Disney store miles away compared to all Targets, Walmarts, etc. for me!
My Disney Store was out of Vader, but I picked up a Deathtrooper because how could I not? Mine also rang up $10.99. So. What a deal!
Deathtrooper is sweet too, tho.
I've spent the last week watching as many of your videos as humanly possible. Please never stop.
Very much appreciated. Tell your friends!
Lol, I saw your insta pictures of this Vader and I was like, I want that Vader, it looks sick! I get a few seconds into the video and then, boom, line is cancelled. Great review Dan. Keep 'em coming
Yea, I'm going to my disney store and buying this. Can't believe it's only fifteen. Hope I find it.
Hey I hope it's not cancelled but I can't imagine they blow these figures out like this if they are planning to continue the line.

somarriba333 I know that’s a joke, but that’s actually the best explanation I’ve ever heard
I went back to 1:48 so i could catch the subliminal crapton. well. played.
in Louisiana right now they are all $11.99!
+puncture boy Even better!
I've been 50/50 on this Vader, but now I know that this line will be canned soon I feel the need to pick this up. It looks brilliant and would work well as a 40th anniversary centrepiece!
I may be wrong about the cancellation, I'm just assuming. I hope I'm wrong but I can't imagine them doing more and trying to price them at $35 again.

Disney Store is a thing? wow I'm envious
+STEEVEWES They used to be everywhere. Practically every mall.
not in canada

I'm sure there are several reason:
1. Not enough people have Disney Stores near them.
2. Initial Price was too high.
3. Nobody knew they existed.

What the hell is up with the scaling?
Krennic is towering a Deathtrooper, Jyn is two heads shorter than Vader, Krennic can look Vader in the eyes.
What the actual fuck?
So Krenic comes with non canon hands?
Been looking for a Vader (just have the 31" oddly enough with a distractingly small head as well) and might have to grab this one. Unfortunately none of the 4 Disney stores in my area have it in stock :( but 29 bucks on Amazon isn't too bad. Can it do the classic Vader "hands on belt buckle" pose?
Cloth bits over. Oh yeah, have you picked up the Rogue One 3.75 Jedha Revolt 4-pack???
I have not. I have seen it but can't spend the cash on that set.
Your alien voice sounds like Badger from Breaking Bad
The universe is a weird place.
I just won a 12 inch Darth Vader from a claw machine. Posted in my latest vid. Anyways....cool vid. I seen those figures at Walmart a few days ago.✌️
+Varkade Games Uh... what?
Oh wait, the figures I seen at Walmart were more like "He-Man" size. It took me a minute to make the "Disney Store exclusive" remark to sink in. But they were new SW classic figures that I never seen yet. ✌️
In a claw game? Weird.
I own the claw machine, and my daughter wanted to see if it would pick up her Wonder Woman and Supergirl. I just decided to toss in her 12 inch Vader as well. Thanks for making awesome videos. Love your channel.✌️

bikerscout 74 I glued magnets to the inside of the Shoulder armor and another set to the cape so his can be removed and attached with ease.
I picked this figure up yesterday at the Disney store for 11 bucks it was the last, Vader they had in store, and the others were marked between 10 And 15 bucks, so if suggest hitting up your local Disney store
Over the shoulder, it makes me look bigger, and can you tell the exact location of the crater that used to be Manhattan? I wanna bury my collection for future generations 😂
I think there are a few craters of various sizes. Put your collection somewhere that no one will drop any bombs. Kansas? North Dakota?
Just went to my local Disney Store....they had all of them in stock except Vader and Boba Fett..... :(
They didn't make Boba Fett in the 12 inch line.
Really? I thought they did. Regardless the only one that i wanted was Vader and they didn't have it at none of the Disney Stores around me. I'm tempted to go to the actual World Of Disney store at the Disney Walk at Disneyland but im pretty they wont have it there either....
Why is it already cancelled?
All signs point to yes.
Second! Did I hear right - the line has been cancelled? No more than Leia and Vader from O/T? Dangit!
I'm assuming about the cancellation. Can't imagine them bringing the line back out at $35 again just to put them back on clearance because no one bought them assuming they were going to get marked down to $15 again.
Ah... you may be right. I kind of hoped they would do more because they're good value even at full price, but I think your instincts are right.
That alien voice is nails on chalkboard!
Talk to the alien!
Yeah it's wild, the first time i learned of these was when i saw them at 1/2 price at the Disney store and was like whaaaaa?
my main issue with cloth and chains on fingures is that the stitching and chain links seem too huge to keep within the intended scale.
The ANH/R1 chest plate does not light up in the films. That started with ESB.
Anyway, thanks for the video!
Is that a Ben 10 figure in the background?
Yes.
Toy Galaxy looks awesome. Is it Mattel?
Would you by chance have the eBay link? If so it would be much appreciated
+Comic Customs Looks like the prices have come up a few dollars since we shot this.
I don't know if they've been cancelled or not but I was so ready for a RotJ Luke and then the last jedi version of Kylo, maybe they'll be back one day! But I think the price point is incredible this is literally the closest you'll get to a hot toys or sideshow collectible without being broke afterwards 😂
I thought this was advertised as 11 inches?
+General_Atheis Were they advertised?
The jyn Erso head sculpt looks generic but the krennic head sculpt perfectly captures the likeness. What is it about female faces that action figure sculptors just came get right
I do not know what the deal it but I hope they figure it out.
Diamond Gaming
I think it's the same with drawing female and male faces. You can almost use as many "lines" as you need to detail a male face and it will look accurate. But every line you add to a female face you'll also add age. In some ways you'll have to do more with less. So for female faces you'll really have to get the structure of the face accurate.

I got mine for $8 bucks!
This line could have killed it with more classic characters... like say boba fett!
Hey, maybe I'm wrong and it's not dead. You know I'd love a Fett.
Who wouldn't! And all the trooper variations!

Will you adopt me?
Nothing personal but... nah.

But what if Kottonmouth 365 came with a Clapton of Boba Fett figures?
LOL
first
But the last comment always wins!
Fucking brilliant comment Gavin. I'm stealing it...lol
Be careful not to choke on your terrible dialogue what the heck Vader doesn't do puns, General, or Captain. I don't remember and I don't care...
