Announcing the release of the new Darth Vader Figure guide!
Using a throwback graphic might show you we have become full circle. The beast is done….figure, cape and lightsaber.
In this guide I tried to document all chest colours combined with all 12 COO families combined with all 11 torso sculpts combined with all 17 head sculpts. AN OVERALL OF 71 FIGURES were documented to bring you closer into the depth of a figure that was produced in masses from the early beginnings till the end. The most massive figure guide I ever made!

You’ve not asked – and we never listened anyway. After fighting Jedi on the decks of the sail barge, we reckon Klaatu finally deserves his flowers with a figure guide.
There’s three mould families, helmet mould/paint variations and some cracking accessory alterations to give this figure run some sparkle.
Times are tough, and cheap figures need love too. Dive in and give this bad boy a go.
Thumbs up back atcha buddy!
