The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with our next entry for the 2013 Vader Collection. Today, we take a look at the Evolution of Darth Vader Gift Set*.
PROS: The pros are few but this set does bring together nearly the best sculpts of each figure Hasbro has to offer and makes for a nice gift pack for $30-40. Surprisingly, the main reason to buy this set is for the Vader. Sure, it’s just the Evolution/TVC08 sculpt but the deco on the underlying head sculpt is a marked improvement over the TVC figure as it corrects that weird white stripe on the chin.
CONS: As if the world needed more opportunities to buy an Anakin or Vader figure. Pick this set up if you are one of the few completists out there that absolutely need every repaint or if you are an incurable Anakin devotee.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this set is worth adding to your collection.

Hasbro’s initial Class II Vehicle Assortment, after a very short-lived shelf life, started showing up at discount stores several months ago. Stores like Marshalls and TJ Maxx, unable to move these items, are now clearancing them down to $7.00 each. So if you have one of these stores in your area, and want to buy smaller versions of what you already have, now’s the time to get them on the super cheap.
Personal Note: One can’t help but remember how excited the Hasbro Star Wars team was when they announced these. It seemed in their minds, the smaller/cheaper scale was the answer to their 2012 problems. The overwhelming consense at the time from collectors across forums here and other sites was that this new scale was not a good idea, and look where we are now. Rather than understand the problem Hasbro created in 2012 by pushing product everyone already had, they appear to have made their mess even deeper… at least in my eyes. I’m not much of a fan of the 5POA style either, and am hoping that Hasbro isn’t planning on this sort of strategy with the Episode VII line.

This may not be Star Wars related, but it’s a damn cool spooky diorama that any customizer can appreciate, especially on Halloween.
