Toyguide Update: Darth Vader (SL09)

3 Comments

vader_sl09_preview

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with the next entry in the Star Wars Rebels/Saga Legends 3-3/4″ line. Next, we take a look at Darth Vader (SL09).

PROS: It’s Vader, it’s on an individual card, it’ll probably sell through this holiday season. Like its first release, deco is minimal and applied well and due to its kid friendly (i.e. 5 POA) design, the figure doesn’t fall apart in your hands and there are no small parts (helmet components, hilts) to loose/misplace.

CONS: It’s Vader again, the same figure was available last year, and it is repacked again in the Saga Legends/Rebels Mission Series (MS03) set.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection… again.

You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
