Black Series Vader Neck Issue Fixed

tbsvaderneckl

Despite opinions to the contrary, the Black Series Darth Vader (#26) suffered from a horrible neck design that essentially rendered the figure to “look, don’t touch” status. We are very happy to share that Hasbro has indeed addressed the known issue (by their admission) and the Black Series #03 Vader now features an updated sculpt with longer neck peg.

Thanks to Dan from StarWarsCollector.com for bringing this to our attention.
