I've said it before but I will say it again; Nathan your figure posing skills are outstanding. Not everyone can pose figures in a realistic manner but you always pull off very dynamic and believable poses. Just wanted you to know I appreciate that. Great review as always, thanks man 👍🐵
Got this in hand the other day, it’s truly fantastic! One of the best Black Series figures IMO, and I’m especially happy they gave Vader butterfly joints this time around! Mine’s torso armor is glued slightly off center, but it’s not a huge deal. I’m glad you edited in a clip of his back slashes, that was what I was telling you to pin a comment for on stream lol. Oh, and I’m sure your biggest problem with PFP gone is now you have to put the figure back into the box for the review! 😜
Seriously so good! With all the heat I've picked up recently...the Black Series is alive and well! Thanks for checking out the review, Zoo Boy. -Justin
I love this figure. Absolutely love. His details are top notch. He is the best piece of plastic I have touched in months. He is probably my favorite Vader I own. Thanks for the video Nate.
I just got mine yesterday, and I’m in love with it. Got him posed next to Wandering Jedi Obi-Wan. I have ESB Vader too, but out of my 40 or so figures, this one is my new favorite.
This one is so close to perfection and accuracy. The chest box shouldn’t be “held” by the straps (sculpted here) so this is an altered version of the sculpt of the Empire/RotJ Vader. My only wish now is that we’ll see a modified shoulder plate to better keep the tunic under it as well as new legs. The vertical hinges bring lightsaber posing to new heights of authenticity which is absolutely fine. With the ANH version announced as a pipeline despite being in Archive, a full resculpt is now needed. We’ll see how far they’ll go.
Yeah I’m really curious to see what they are gonna do with that upcoming Vader. I hope it’s a complete retool and not just this figure but with a new helmet sculpt. -Nate
The head sculpt is a work of art. Finally he has wrist hinges appropriate for weapon wielding. In some of your shots Anakin's head seems to sit low in the mask. He looks as if his eyes are level with the bottom of the mask lenses. I wonder if you can adjust Ani's head within the helmet?
I dont think you can adjust it without damaging the helmet and head underneath. They glued the helmet to the side of the head as apposed to the top like normal so I’m not sure if it’ll come off easily
Got mine today! But no appos anywhere in store or pick up ! My Hayden face looks like his bacta tank doubles as a tanning bed but that aside, it’s amazing and looks great on my shelf!
Excellent review Nate. I never thought I needed this figure, but this Vader definitely looks so worth it. I too will miss certain aspects of PFP, like the figure loadout render on the side.
Great review Nate! I just received mine in the mail yesterday and haven’t opened him yet. Hey, which specific classic Stormtrooper is that standing next to Vader in the video for comparison? Does he have green eyes?
This Vader was a little tricky to find in Australia and yeah I'm not paying DX ($65AU) for a Jablim Obi Wan..best head details this year?..cheers Nate🍺🍺🍻 SI FI
I really want to get this figure but unfortunatly I'm a little late to the party and apparently its out of stock on all sites with people reselling the figure twice the original price... I hope I'm not too late and they don't discontinue it 😭
God can't wait to get him detail is so amazing! Love the broken life support chest plate! Of course the main piece! That beautiful helmet showing that lovely detail from that leaping Lightsaber slash from obi-wan! The cape wow! Just can't wait! I just locked down mine on targets website. I asked you guys about when it's coming out at Target because I kept getting all the mixed answers plus you guys do reviews all the time. I do know when a lot of figures come out. I just like reaching out to people that find out the fastest because I am lazy lol. So I appreciate the help on Vader. -Stephen
If you think this one is awesome, just wait till the SHF drops next month. I actually bought a custom painted helmet with the slash for this and it looks soooo much better.
Absolutely isnaneo how expensive this one is going for now. So sad i missed out on it. Probably going to get the SH one which is the same price with tons more stuff
I had this Vader and Appo in my target cart didn’t have the money to get it and by the time I did they were both outta stock however Vader was still in my cart for some reason so i bought it idk what’s gonna happen 💀
It's actually not a 100% complete head sculpt underneath there. There's a peg that connects/glues into the helmet. Thanks for checking out the review! -Justin
Lol. I don’t know if you remember the concept art for Kenobi, back in 2021? They showed Obi Wan with gray hair and beard. Basically it looked a lot like Ewan McGregor’s portrayal mixed halfway between Alec Guinness. Then when we saw the actual first trailer I was stunned that they didn’t really age Obi Wan from Revenge of the Sith. It just look like he had a shorter beard with long hair 😂. Not sure why they didn’t age him.

"I am not your failure Obi-Wan" top tier vader moment to go with a top tier figure
100% best part of the series! -Nate
"You are your failure, Obi-Wan". Force Unleashed did Battle Damaged Vader better.
Agreed. Such a great moment and line.
That red lens looks great ! You can see the other Sith eye through it . Can't wait to have it in hand. Thanks Nate for the timely review.
Thanks for watching Volts! -Nate

It's amazing and weird that the best Hayden likeness is on this Vader
I mean...TRUE! -Justin
I love this figure. Absolutely love. His details are top notch. He is the best piece of plastic I have touched in months. He is probably my favorite Vader I own. Thanks for the video Nate.
He’s a fantastic figure. I’m glad you like him so much too! Thanks for watching James! -Nate

I can't find this Darth Vader online. I've looked on Target, Amazon, EE...
It was a Target exclusive that released last year. It'll be hard to find in my opinion. -Justin
I guess I'll have to purchase it from eBay. Ha.
@OutOfTheBasement - I just purchased one from eBay. Free shipping and buy now. It should be here by the 29th of February.
Nice review! Pretty cool poses there, you got the cape lookin’ great. I think I’m one of the few who kinda liked the plastic free packaging.
Thanks Dennis! I liked aspects of it for sure but I think window is just better for all collectors. -Nate

My first Vader figure
Great one to start with! -Nate
Got mine today! But no appos anywhere in store or pick up ! My Hayden face looks like his bacta tank doubles as a tanning bed but that aside, it’s amazing and looks great on my shelf!
Yeah he is a little tan, it’s probably from that mustafar sun lol. Thanks for watching!
Just received mine today and wow, it’s even better in person! Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching Josh! -Nate
This can even qualify as a Force Unleashed Vader with that recently released Starkiller just because of that battle damage.
Force Unleashed Vader was way more damaged
I think we need a little bit more damage to make it Force Unleased but hey I’d take that version too! -Nate
That head sculpt is so 🔥! Awesome review Nate!
Thanks for watching my brother! I’m loving this dude! -Nate
This Vader is absolutely 🔥. Can not wait to get in hand. Great review.
Thanks for watching! -Nate
I have this figure and can't wait for the SHF version to come as well
The SHF does look great! -Nate
Cool review guys, I will be getting that Darth Vader figure soon, just pick up the standard 'Stormtrooper: ROTJ' Kenner last weekend.
Nice I just got that one myself! Thanks for watching! -Nate
Great figure. Got one coming from Target this week.
Nice! You are gonna dig it! -Nate
I have over 100 Vader figures including a rare Canadian Trilogy Collection one. But this one is just simply beautify done and a must have.😍😍😊🤗
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching! -Nate
They should use this helmet sculpt undamaged for future vader figures. Like it better than the past ones that always looked off
I agree! Thanks for watching. -Justin
Wow! This figure is pretty wizard! May have to pick this one up. Along with the Return of the Jedi version. 😊
Dew it! They both look awesome. -Justin
Hes definitely going alongside my Starkiller in my display!!!
Awesome! -Justin
Excellent review Nate. I never thought I needed this figure, but this Vader definitely looks so worth it. I too will miss certain aspects of PFP, like the figure loadout render on the side.
Thanks for watching, Dill! -Justin
got the last one at my Target, its so sick
Niiiice! 👍🏻 -Justin
Love this figure and one of the rare doubles I bought as I normally just want to have one version of each .
It's so good! -Justin
Awesome fig. Picked up on shelf today!
That’s awesome Shawn! I’m glad you got em! -Nate
Definitely a must have for my collection.
I agree! Thanks for watching!
I finally got one of these!
Niiiiiice! -Justin
Also glad the window packaging is back I didn’t like the no window packaging
It is nice to see it again! -Nate
Nice review. I’m excited to receive mine in the mail anytime now. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Gerald! -Nate
I own this figure and in box it looks pretty good. Need to get it open.
Let me breath Kobe! -Nate
@@OutOfTheBasement don't worry it'll get opened as soon as I get some shelves installed
Really good Vader...looks great next to my figuarts Obi wan.
I bet! Thanks for watching! -Nate
Great review Nate! I just received mine in the mail yesterday and haven’t opened him yet. Hey, which specific classic Stormtrooper is that standing next to Vader in the video for comparison? Does he have green eyes?
That’s just the Mando version, the eyes are grey it’s just the video made them look a little green. Weird! -Nate
This Vader was a little tricky to find in Australia and yeah I'm not paying DX ($65AU) for a Jablim Obi Wan..best head details this year?..cheers Nate🍺🍺🍻 SI FI
I think it’s definitely possible! Thanks for watching SI FI! -Nate
I really want to get this figure but unfortunatly I'm a little late to the party and apparently its out of stock on all sites with people reselling the figure twice the original price... I hope I'm not too late and they don't discontinue it 😭
Yeah it was exclusive so it’ll be tough to find! -Justin

-Stephen
Thanks for checking out the review, Stephen! Appreciate your support. -Justin
I'm pretty sure we are getting a vader with a helmet that pops off in the 6" vintage line
Yes we are. -Justin
A true must have!!🎉
Truth! Thanks for watching Clemme! -Nate
This is such a great figure def top 10 of 2023
I really this so! This year is gonna be interesting! -Nate
I want to get it, would anyone recommend cutting the cape to make it more battle damaged?
I don't really modify my figures like that. I couldn't tell ya! Thanks for checking out the review. -Justin
If you think this one is awesome, just wait till the SHF drops next month. I actually bought a custom painted helmet with the slash for this and it looks soooo much better.
Just like always I hope it would be a better figure as it’s x3 the cost. It does look good but this is perfect for me. Thanks for watching! -Nate
The NEW Darth Vader figgie looks impressive! Most impressive.
Thanks for watching 80s! -Nate
Absolutely isnaneo how expensive this one is going for now. So sad i missed out on it. Probably going to get the SH one which is the same price with tons more stuff
Oh yeah and I feel like the price will only go higher. -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement definitely, such a bummer haha
Great review Nate! I’m really excited to open mine up! -Tommy
Thanks Tommy! You are gonna love him! -Nate
Battle damaged Vader from force unleashed is better will I get this probably not not to mention they’ve made like a billion Vader figures by now
That is a cool look too! I’d love to seem em make that! -Nate
I just imagined what the stormtroopers thought when Vader walked back on to the ship with half his helmet removed
They probably steered clear! -Nate
I had this Vader and Appo in my target cart didn’t have the money to get it and by the time I did they were both outta stock however Vader was still in my cart for some reason so i bought it idk what’s gonna happen 💀
Hopefully you get him! Thanks for watching! -Nate
A few months later, he is MIA. I really wanted this guy, too. I missed my chance, unfortunately. I REALLY wanted him
I saw him all the time a few months ago! Sorry you missed out. -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement it is all right. I really did want him tho
Great review, appears to be another banger
Thanks for watching Darthclueless! -Nate
He's here.
Thanks for watching Spencer! -Nate
"Anakin is gone! I am what remains..."
"Then my friend really is dead."
I really wished the helmet was completely removal. That's my only critique. Otherwise, really cool!!
It's actually not a 100% complete head sculpt underneath there. There's a peg that connects/glues into the helmet. Thanks for checking out the review! -Justin
6:33 Obi wan sure is going to age badly in 9 years time....
True! I mean it has happened before I'm sure, haha. -Justin
Lol. I don’t know if you remember the concept art for Kenobi, back in 2021? They showed Obi Wan with gray hair and beard.

Damn, poor Vader. His helmet is always getting broken! Like Tobey Maguires mask
But we love it everytime it happens lol. Both are iconic! -Nate
Where the h-e-double hockey sticks did you get this?!
It’s a Target exclusive! -Nate
Nice figure…
Thanks for watching Wayne! -Nate
for the algorithm
Bless you sdog! -Nate
It sold out.
Oof! Hopefully it restocks for ya. -Justin
I just hate that it's a target exclusive
That’s the only downfall of this figure! -Nate
