He looks fantastic. Totally agree we need Daine Jir to complete that scene on Tantive IV, on a Star Wars card. He was on my March Madness list, but did have to bump him out of the top 25 for other figures. Also need Commander Praji, General Tagge, Yularen, hell just give me all of them on single card.
I’m glad they fixed the helmet paint but it’s a huge letdown for my that they painted the the tabards like they’re part of the armor. It might ruin it for me, but it’s still a great figure overall
Good review and comparison vid! Loveba good Vader fig. In fact, I just opened (which is pretty rare) that new "A NewHope" Vader from the BlackSeries and I was just blown away. I realize it's like his 3rd release or something to that effect, but daaaang that fig's incredible. If this one's half as good, it'll instantly be my new favorite. Thnx again!
Yesssss!!!! Only got this figure because of your recommendation buddy. So do you think it is now the definitive Vader? That last pose looks so cool. So iconic.
I was definitely grabbing this one purely for the cardback...but I may get another just for the differences with the Dark Times Vader to A New Hope...thanks for this review Tim!
Thanks for the review as always, Tim. The cardback isn’t one-to-one from the Kenner days/VOTC/VC08/VC93. I did point out before in a previous comment that they flipped the chestbox to prevent the mirror effect to be noticed although the gray of the mask remains unchanged.. A reminder that the OG image was flipped as were many shots in the editing of the original film. I still prefer the RotJ Vader as a full package, but the novelty of having the closest to definitive OG Vader is great. Both carded and loose figures are next to my 3D Sculpture Puzzle of Vader, and I now need the definitive Empire version so I can then complete the circle.
Four details make him ANH, not sure if there might be more? Robes on outside. Red eyes. Colours of chest plate switches. Lines in gloves run perpendicular to his forearms. TESB and ROTJ they run parallel to forearms.
He actually has an entirely new head mold because the ANH and Kenobi helmets and masks are different. I didn't expect Hasbro to go the extra mile that way and that's the kind of effort we should reward.
Question ofrece next week (I know wrong video butnit may work) do you think they will use this new sculpt to update the 2007 Comic Pack figure? I know those are kind of hard to sell but it would look great pointing his fingers at ESB Boba
The only time where I prefer having the newer figure on card as opposed to the older release. Well unless we get a new Bastila Shan in the Vintage Collection.
I have the latest "Return of the Jedi" Vader, and I will also get this one. I think I may get two so I can open one. I really like the design for New Hope over Jedi.
This figure is amazing, AND YET, I'm gonna pass. I've already got Dark Times Vader and Split Helmet Vader, and that's good enough for me. I think he looks awesome, though.
I want all of these “Star Wars” card figures in mint condition but so far I’m struggling in obtaining that here in the US… anyone have recommendations? I got some in from GameStop and all had the ring of death
I will be picking this version of Vader to add to my ' New Hope ' collection to bad they didn't include the hand that choked Capt. Antilles and a clear stand to support the weight it would of given the appearance of Vader choking Antilles.
Sadly, still not definitive due to the HUGE error of having glossy tabards covering the chest armor! Your close up shots really show off this mistake. You can see they've painted the tabards matte directly below the bottom edge of the armor, but they should be matte all the way up. Been waiting on Steve to address this. He's definitely aware of it, but has not commented thus far. Hopefully a running change is on the way.
Don't be too proud of this figure you've review, The ability to open a carded figure, or keep it MIP, is insignificant next to the POTF 2,😂 Bossk your making this wat to fun thank you.
That figure again shows how far these 3.75s have come - amazing detail and paint job. Hardly anything that can be topped…. brilliant 🎉
Best Darth Vader figure in my opinion. It even corrected what was wrong with the cape on the Dark Times version.
" you are part of a rebel alliance "
And a traitor,..... Take her away
@@ciscodeer9094 Get's it!
I'll need a Death Star conference room playset so he can force choke General Moti.
The size difference between him and Leia looks wild

"Misplaced the cape" 😂 Love how little Bossk is enjoying the toys how we used to!

excellent, thanks a lot!!🙏
Thank you so much for the comparison shot! Love me some Darth Vader!!!

I find your lack of compassion disturbing 😂great work my friend
What is the difference of this and the black series ?
Great review Tim, hope you’re well buddy!
Owen! Seems a while since you have left a comment. Hope you are well!

Yeah, I mean some would want soft goods to go over the shoulders but I think it looks good.
Brian Muir would be proud of this trio for sure.
I'm very tempted to get a couple of these ❤

Yes I actually remember telling a friend this when it got revealed. (after you orginal comment) Bu forgot by the time the review came around
Tim, I was glad to find him on the peg and mint. The gesturing hands do add movie accurate momments. The red lenses as well. 🤌✌️

Really nice Vader! I want one now!
Glad to see I’m not the only person encouraging people to iron their soft goods 😛 - Tyler

I legit just found this at GameStop not two hours ago… along with Leia! Lost her small pistol in my car already :(
Great Figure! If I didn't already have Dark Times Vader- I would be tempted. Heck, I am still tempted.🤣 Great review! 😎👍
This figure is amazing, AND YET, I'm gonna pass. I've already got Dark Times Vader and Split Helmet Vader, and that's good enough for me. I think he looks awesome, though.
Dark Time Vader is so good. Not a whole lot of difference really
And the Anakain one that came in the 2 pack. I think TDT Vader was the ultimate and all the variations we get are about the same
Be cool if when they do the Empire Vader they do a regeneration tank, probably won't happen like
Excellent looking Darth Vader figure and excellent review video!
Will the new swappable hands work with those other Vaders?
Yes
@@BossksBountyOoh didn’t expect that answer. Thanks
How do you suggest i iron the cape😢
@@finger3eater with an iron, not too hot. And carefully
I want all of these “Star Wars” card figures in mint condition but so far I’m struggling in obtaining that here in the US… anyone have recommendations? I got some in from GameStop and all had the ring of death

I have this Vader, it's a good Vader, the only thing that's wrong with this and that's the cape, there is to much material.
Incredible figure! Brilliant!

It’s not a Hot Toy 😂😂😂

LOL
I think this is my favourite one mate
Already my favorite 3.75 Darth Vader figure
Now we need his ship.
Received an email from BBTS that this is processing soon. Can’t wait to have it in hand. Thanks for the review Tim.
Hope you enjoy it!
It is perfection!
The Force Is Strong With This One
To this day it annoys me that the robes were over his armor in the original Star Wars. To their credit they had his robes the same in rouge one.
I recently got Darth Vader VC241 Obi-Wan Kenobi version.
That’s the definitive TVC Vader for me.
@@codyerickson3550 Yeah, I prefer the robe go under the shoulder armor. It looks kind of goofy in A New Hope.
Wow I had this before you! WOW...lol
Excellent pickups of darth vader fantastic review bossk bounty keep collecting 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Holy crap he is towering over Leia.
Just like in the movie! 👍🏽
💪😎
I gotta say, this isn't enough for me to buy this vader. I'm just burnt out from him at this point.
Is it just me or does my owns cape is too massive
