2024 Home Depot Darth Vader Animatronic Unboxing and Review / Disney Halloween Christmas Prop

In this video, I unbox and review the 2024 Home Depot / Disney Darth Vader Animatronic! If you can get one of these, GET IT!!

The Best Animatronic I ever had. As a Star Wars fan, this is a must! At the beginning I thought it will look weak, skinny and poor quality looking like other animatronics from Home Depot but it did not. This thing is AWESOME and looks perfect as a prop in a collection/media room.

WOW, I ❤ IT!!! AWESOME!!! I AGREE with you. I'm a HUGE fan of Darth Vader, and I swear after all these decades he is still the hot ticket. Disney was an idiot not to capitalize on that and they still are...we need more of his backstory. If you look at the Empire State Building in New York and you look at all the Fanfare, and even KZbinrs still do all these "what if" scenarios on Anakin and Vader because he is still the most ICONIC and the most MEMORABLE and eternal part of Star Wars and will be FOREVER. As Vader would say... "Impressive, most impressive...!"

[@kinja73]

Very cool! Good review, too. I noticed that his outer helmet is warped on the left side, probably due to how it was packed in the box. To fix that, just take a hair dryer, hold it a few inches from the surface, and go back and forth over the warped area for about a minute to soften the plastic. You should be able to return it to its proper shape after that, and once it cools, it will be good as new.

[@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kz]

Thanks for the tips! I’m not sure how it looked on camera but in person the helmet is fine. I think it’s the lighting and the picture behind Vader is made from glass so there is a reflection that throws it off on camera as well. It’s awesome!

“It’s not accurate” Look yeah, this isn’t an accurate Vader design. But also, I’m not buying a screen accurate suit, I’m buying a $300 prop to decorate my arcade with/Halloween decoration. Would I love if it was more realistic? Absolutely. The truth is that most “pretty good” Vader helmets will run you over $350 alone. The people buying this are people like me who know it’s not correct but have always wanted some semblance of this iconic character in their home or casual fans who see this as just Darth Vader. I love detail, I love being in universe (my Jedi outfit is Rebel Legion approved) but sometimes it’s okay to know these things are strictly for enjoyment and that’s okay. The attitude of some of these comments have the same energy at yelling at an excited 9 year old for having a plastic lightsaber instead of a legit hilt.

I’m not sure about international shipping. You could call Home Depot customer service, and check and see. Do you have any family or friends here in the US that could ship it to you?

[@Marc_vador]

Okay I will try thank you for your answer, no unfortunately I don't

[@richardjohnson9543]

That sounds like James Earl Jones himself. I wonder if they're using the A.I. copy of his voice like in the Obi-Wan show? This is way cooler than those life size Vaders that dont move but cost as much as a small car

[@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kz]

I completely agree! That’s why this is worth the $300 for sure! It’s not perfect but is very worth the price!

[@jeremydrew1227]

Well those more expensive vaders are film accurate costumes with the right material and parts cast off the originals. This animatronic is cheap and it shows but its only $300.

[@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kz]

@@jeremydrew1227 in person, it definitely doesn’t look cheap. I felt the same way until I saw it in person. But I respect your opinion. Not everyone is going to like it but I’m glad I got one!

[@jeremydrew1227]

@@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kz as an experienced and seasoned Vader enthusiast there is a huge difference between that animatronic and what I have standing in my living room. But the price reflects the difference.

[@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kz]

@@jeremydrew1227 I agree! For the price you can’t beat this thing! I definitely would expect more if it were $1,000 or more for sure!

They have that in home depot? Wonder if they have that here in 🇨🇦

[@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kz]

Not sure but it’s going to re-release later this year! Keep a lookout for it! I’ll make an announcement in here if I hear of a date!

[@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kz]

Ok everyone! I got home just now and looked at the helmet, it’s perfectly fine. I created a short showing what it looks like with better lighting. See the short video below. kzbin.infoKboP21vub4o?si=tgn9efjWvG6Yst61

How much

[@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kz]

He was $300 plus tax so around $325 total. That’s retail price.

[@rosenash5284]

So do you think the stores will have them when they put out their Halloween merchandise because they're sold out online you can't even find them on the website

[@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kz]

Yes Vader will re-release later this year but we just have to find out when. HD does drops in July as well. You have to keep checking the website!

Thanks so much for the heads up I will be watching the site like a hawk in July putting it on my calendar now

Question!!! Please, do you have the product number?? Please let me know, ty

[@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kz]

I don’t off hand but I’ll look and see if I can find it. The Halloween forums should be able to tell you.

[@DMH57IND]

I've had the weirdest problem with mine. After having Darth plugged in (on sensor mode) for about 2 weeks he started malfunctioning. His right wrist (his light saber hand) started twisting back and forth at the wrist about 1/4 inch. At first it went back and forth for about 20 seconds before it would stop. Then after about 2 weeks later it just twists non-stop after his performance each time. The only way to make it stop twisting is to turn the power off completely/unplug it. Sent vid to SVI techs and they are sending a new "right arm." Has anyone else had this problem? It's very strange and just got progressively worse over time.

[@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kz]

@@DMH57IND I haven’t seen this happen to anyone’s yet in the forums. Make sure you check all the wires. A few of my others came with wires that looked like they were cut.

This thing is a great idea but to me as a die hard star wars fan and especially a vader lover the company could have done better but hey just means they can make improvements over time with the next model.

[@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kz]

I get it but until you see it in person…..I think it would change your mind. When I bought it I was just taking a chance and I really thought I was going to return it. Once I started to put it together….i knew it was a keeper!

[@jeremydrew1227]

​​@@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kzits cheap and it shows big time. But it's only $300. The price matches the quality.

[@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kz]

@@jeremydrew1227 I respect you opinion but I have to disagree. In person it does not look cheap at all. No it’s not movie accurate but it’s a really good version for the price! A costume of this quality would cost more than $300.

How much was he at a Home Depot on the original release date of May the 4th?

[@ViewsFromTheCrypt-lm2kz]

He was $300 plus tax. He will drop again sometime this year. I am seeing people sell him for up to triple the price so wait on him to drop again. I just don’t know if he will be limited supply or not.
