First Look: Hasbro’s 4.5″ ActionVerse Darth Vader

As a follow up to our previous report, here is your first look at Hasbro’s new 4.5″ ActionVerse Darth Vader figure. This is a new scale assortment that doesn’t conflict with our beloved Vintage Collection or Retro Collection collector-targeted lines. As you can see, this slightly stylized design features 9 POA (neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, & knees) and includes an accessory sprue to store extra accessories including a snap together MSE Droid. Figures are compatible with other 4.5″ ActionVerse figures, playsets, and vehicles. Retail for these basic figures is less than $10.

Newest Black Series Wave Arriving in Canada

Recent shipping info shows that the latest Black Series wave featuring Asajj Ventress, Jango Fett, Boba Fett and Darth Vader is starting to arrive in Canada. It’s likely these figures will available to collectors in the U.S. before the end of the year.

Update 11/25: Asajj and Vader cases are now arriving in the U.S.

Missing the Mark: TVC Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced Missing Sticker

TVC Darth Vader TIE Advanced are arriving to collectors and sadly, they neglected to include a sticker for the targeting computer as shown on the packaging and solicitation images. “I have you now” though as I took some quick measurements and put together one for you to download. Simply print out the attached image on sticker/label paper – the final trim size (gray line) should be 12mm x 7mm.

Whether intentional or accidental, it’s sad that a $139.99 priced vehicle is missing such detail.
