For me and my collecting, I really just don’t need a ton of
any one character. It really depends; certain characters like Luke, Leia and
Han wore a bunch of interesting costumes, so that’s different. But characters
like Darth Vader who for most of the films looked practically the same, I
really only need one good version of.
Naturally, this isn’t the best Darth Vader that will ever be
made, nor is it the worst. It’s a good toy that fits my needs as far as Darth
Vader goes. His cape is a little on the simple side, and he doesn’t feature an
unlit light-saber, but that kind of stuff can easily be overlooked for other
reasons. The ball-jointed hips he features adds so much more, and on a figure
that needs those dynamic, dueling poses it goes a long way. The sculpt and
details are also really good on this one, and that coupled with the
articulation is really what made this figure worth getting.
Still though, at the end of the day it’s just another Darth
Vader figure among so many. The new Black Series figure looks pretty good from
what I’ve seen of it, but with this figure I definitely don’t need it. They’re
both good in their own ways, so are some of the older Vaders, but again, one
good Darth Vader is all I need. It’s not got anything to do with Darth Vader
himself, it’s just that collecting as a hobby gets very dull once you’re in the
cycle of buying the same thing over and over again.
