From "Star Wars," Darth Vader (Sith Apprentice) [with bonus sleeve] is here! Anakin Skywalker, discovered by Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn while a slave on Tatooine, is one of the most powerful Jedi in history. In just over a decade, he gained immense power at an astonishing speed, and became increasingly devoted to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, whom the Jedi Council grew increasingly distrustful of. After learning that he was the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Anakin finally fell to the dark side and became Sidious's apprentice: Darth Vader. This high-end 1/6 scale figure, standing approximately 31cm tall and featuring over 30 points of articulation, brings to life Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, the Sith apprentice from Star Wars. The head sculpt, newly developed with the likeness rights of actor Hayden Christensen, is realistically rendered using wool material for the dark brown hair. The red-rimmed yellow eyes, signifying his fall to the dark side, feature movable eyeballs, allowing for free adjustment of his gaze and creating a lifelike presence. The scars on his face, the texture of his skin, and wrinkles are all meticulously hand-painted to recreate their details. The costume, including the fabric Jedi robe, leather-like black tunic and boots, and brown inner garment, is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and materials. The removable Jedi robe can be posed using internal wires. Two lightsabers are included as weapons. The first is a red-bladed lightsaber with a red LED light-up function (USB powered). The second is a blue-bladed lightsaber that can be attached to a belt or displayed on its own. By swapping the blade parts, you can recreate the look of the lightsaber being swung. An interchangeable prosthetic right arm is included as an accessory. Furthermore, with a variety of interchangeable hand parts, including one for using the Force, you can recreate memorable scenes from the film. The circular base has a special design that resembles a floor. It also comes with a backboard featuring the Imperial symbol that can be displayed together with the base, which is a nice bonus! In addition, as a Japan-exclusive item, the package comes with a special sleeve with a "Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025" commemorative design! Darth Vader, who was born as a Sith apprentice after Anakin Skywalker fell to the dark side.
