Toyguide Update: Darth Vader (SL09)
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.
