Product Review

A Kotobukiya Japanese import. The hit line of smaller scale Star Wars ArtFX+ Statues continues with more of your favorite heroes and villains from the original films in the all new Saga Collection. Joining the initial releases of Boba Fett and the Stormtrooper 2-Pack comes none other than the Dark Lord of the Sith himself, Darth Vader. Ruthless and powerful, Darth Vader stands at the ready with the knowledge that his mastery over the Force can overcome any enemy. His classic armored suit has every detail you’ve come to know and love since Empire Strikes Back was first released 30 years ago. Intricate sculpting brings out the different parts of his chest piece and belt module, while his gloves are accurately textured. Of course, the most attention to detail was put into recreating Vader’s helmet. Darth Vader has a standard stance standing tall with his hands at his belt, though he does come with bonus arm parts for alternate poses. And, like the other ArtFX+ Statues, he has magnets in his feet for display on the included base. ArtFX+ Statues are fun-to-assemble pre-painted snap-fit kits that can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill. Darth Vader stands approximately 8" tall (1/10th scale) and is the perfect centerpiece for your Saga Collection.

This statue of Darth Vader is amazing. It was the second statue I bought and it looks very nice. The detail of Darth Vader is absolutely outstanding. Very detailed and very accurate. The paint job is well done. I really recommend this for any fan of Star Wars. I love it 100%. Sometimes I just look at it and admire it.

Well, this is my fourth Darth Vader figure, and i have to say is my fave. It looks marvelous, every detail has been considered - including the fact that the "chain" on his neck - the one that holds the cape - is not visible in the scene which this Darth Vader model is taken from (The very moment when the Dark Lord of the Sith commands the tests on the carbonite system on Bespin).

This figure can be accompanied with the 8' Boba Fett of the same series - the platform of the Cloud City Carbonite Mine is included - or you can show it as a single piece, with a magnetic platform where you can put it.

The sculpt is flawless.

Better than the older Koto's. This one is for Fans of the Old Saga.

I love this statue!! It's a great rendering of the Dark Lord, and it (along with the Boba Fett statue from the same manufacturer) recreates one of the most pivotal scenes in the saga! I just wish there were stormtroopers to go with it. It's neither too large nor too small, and its sculpt is beyond reproach. I have recommended this (and Boba Fett) to several friends, many of whom bought them and are as happy with them as I am! If you have a little extra money laying around, I highly recommend adding these statues to your collection.
