From "Episode VI: Return of the Jedi," the Dark Lord Darth Vader appears as a high-quality 1/4 scale figure with an impressive height of approximately 50 cm! Darth Vader is Emperor Palpatine's Sith apprentice and the commander of the Imperial Army, whose name alone makes everyone in the galaxy tremble. In the Old Republic era, he was a Jedi Knight named Anakin Skywalker, but he fell to the dark side. Defeated in battle against his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and unable to breathe naturally, he is forced to wear life support. Clad in a jet-black mask and armor that emits an eerie breathing sound, he becomes a terrifying symbol of fear throughout the galaxy, possessing a bizarre appearance. Darth Vader from "Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi" is brought to life as a high-end 1/4 scale figure, standing approximately 50 cm tall with over 30 points of articulation. The jet-black armor, which also serves as life support, is meticulously crafted with attention to detail and materials, from the uniquely shaped mask and helmet to the chain-attached cape and black inner suit. The gloss and texture of the armor, achieved through industry-leading painting techniques, are a must-see. The control panel on the chest and the system function display on the belt are equipped with LED light-up functions. The base body is newly developed to express his large physique. The mask and helmet are removable, allowing you to reveal the face of actor Sebastian Shaw, whose likeness rights have been cleared. Each detail, including the realistic wounds, wrinkles, and skin texture, is meticulously hand-painted. A lightsaber is included as a weapon. It features an LED light-up function, allowing the lightsaber to light up on its own! A replacement light blade part is also included to depict the lightsaber in motion. Furthermore, by using a variety of interchangeable hand parts, including the right arm injured by Luke, you can recreate many of Darth Vader's most memorable scenes. The base is a diorama-style design inspired by the interior of the Death Star. It's a luxurious specification with LED light-up functions on the top surface and the Imperial symbol! Hot Toys has taken further evolution, utilizing the technology and experience cultivated in 1/6 scale to finally create this item in 1/4 scale, which allows for even greater detail. This "ultimate" Return of the Jedi version of Darth Vader, destined to become a symbol for all Star Wars and Darth Vader fans, will forever be etched in the history of collectible figures! *This product is also available with bonus accessories.
