The first Vader here is what I am assuming was just the basic Darth Vader figure. I know we have a bunch of other Vaders with various gimmicks in the collection, but this is the only one I found. Like a lot of the figures from the time he is curiously beefy, and his helmet is oddly proportioned. All the Vader figures from this time had a plastic cape and were missing the lower skirt cape thing. Even though this Vader was in a case he was covered in a lot of dust. This picture was after I got a lot of the dust off.
The other Vader artifact for this entry is the standard Darth Vader figure carrying case. I think these have been around since the days of the vintage line of the '70s and '80s. Not surprisingly, they continued to be released during the '90s but I don't think I've seen any sold for years. Figure cases used to be pretty common in general, I wonder why they have fallen out of favor. I would probably buy a few, they are useful. Anyway, that's all the Vader for now. Until next time!

Cool Mario. I have link this on the entry of Vader invasion over at my blog. Keep it coming!
ReplyDeleteHey Mario is that Vader case the one produced for the Bendy Figures of the 90's? It looks a little different than the old Kenner ones.
ReplyDeleteThey made a case for bendy figures? As far as I know, the case is for regular figures, which is what it's filled with. Maybe they didn't have the original molds when they made them in the '90s.
