Hasbro's biggest FAILED experiment? Checking out Black Series Hyper-real Darth Vader

[@AvengerLars]

I own the Vader one to. It's a pretty great figure, but the rubber suit has sort of started to fall appart at the joint areas.

[@TheTosic_]

Yup same with my copy. It was just sitting around on a shelf for a year and the joint area starts to come apart. But still looks great if you don't look close.

[@AvengerLars]

@TheTosic_ luckily on my copy it broke on the back side, so it's not visible on the front.

[@NerdsIAB]

WITH AUTHENTIC BATTLE DAMAGE!!!

[@TheSonOfRyan]

Oh that's so strange. Almost terrified to think about the Luke they made

[@the_blue_dragon_bd]

Honestly they could've pulled it off with a full fabric suit as long as they didn't use pleather because nothing is worse than that 😂

[@The_Mojave_Mailman]

Back in the day, I don't think Hasbro was able to pull this off right, but now a days with all the advancements, I'm sure they could nail something like this with a stretchy nylon suit, the same way hot toys has started to do. I'd be interested in seeing this come back depending on who they chose to do

[@lucasahumada6913]

I think some of those “pointing” hands are his force choke pose

[@jumpcutreviews1545]

I would love a Mezco one12 Star Wars line. I’d buy all of them.

[@Jcc2224]

Surprised they haven't done any yet!

[@sergeantfubar2750]

5:57 Silicone IS a type of rubber, I believe

[@jamesoblivion]

Silicone (sometimes called silicone rubber) is technically a synthetic elastomer. It is rubber-like in its qualities, but not true rubber.

[@Kip_Star]

The Force effect reminds me of when Vader shattered the glass in Outlaws during the Officer’s office scene

[@Havok91]

I have the TBLeague Death Dealer and can confirm that you want to keep these kinds of figures in a case, minimize exposure, and use relaxed poses for long-term display. I'm not sure if TBL used a more durable material, but I still wouldn't risk it.

[@therealfrananon]

I have the Hyperreal Luke. It's a nice detailed art scale figure, but decided to find a semi-relaxed pose and keeping it like that on display so it doesn't tear. No issues so far. I agree the original release price for those figures was absurd. Got mine on amazon for about 35 USD.

[@alexcharles8541]

The biggest travesty of this line is paying $25 for a used one when they still flood Ollie’s shelves for less than $10

[@austinbeardshaw9344]

"he's more machine now than man"

[@Unowdvalco]

It looks nice but god it looks so easy to rip apart or break in some way

[@jacobhorn95]

I had both of them for a long time, NEITHER one was easy to swap the hands on honestly, but I do wish hasbro had tried to do more of these, at the very least a boba fett

[@raulzavala9061]

What other figures were planned for this line?

[@richardmiller1345]

Just a side issue. Why don’t force users just force push the off switch on the enemy sabre

[@dukeroyal1218]

The Toy Department usually has some good prices, 25 isn’t bad.

[@snitchbug]

i think it’s when he blocks the gunshot in esb

[@tobywareing6435]

My Vaders is messed up, Boot peg snapped, arm rubber cracked showing his skeleton.

[@corporalcomet6328]

To be fair it would be a robot arm underneath, now you have battle damaged Vader

[@Prime501]

I'm getting the same vibes as those weird bendy Wonder Woman action figures that I see at Half Price books.

[@vaderswatch5974]

Had it the suit had cracked and his boots are all sticky and as if his leaking black liquid so I tossed it sadly

[@Mike6-Gaming]

13:34 After a quick google search, Batman is around 6'2 while Vader is about 6'8.

[@Mike6-Gaming]

Vader still looks a bit too tall here though

[@rabidhammer31]

Set it and forget it lol, Nice score and vid for 25 bucks!

[@Nikolai1939]

This video has so many potential dirty jokes

[@chasemiles2166]

Sucks this line was pretty much dead on arrival. I would’ve been happy to spend a little more for a Hot Toys-esque figure from Hasbro.

[@jeebus2313]

It was an interesting idea, but yeah for all the issues and the price it was going for back then I can see why this line didn't last very long (i.e. all of, two figures lol)

[@anthonyperillo7065]

I completely forgot about these

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Very fartworthy 1/10 weirdo scaled rubber Darth Vader action figure dolly 😂❤

[@chickenninja5512]

Great idea for a vid

[@劉金泉-s3g]

that's good ☺️

[@BarakatheCollector]

6:26 there’s no way that was unintentional

[@karloffwinkler7118]

Don’t buy it. Save your money. For a product with lack of quality. “The lack of quality is disturbing”

[@SantiagoGardea-pl9se]

First

[@moonlightlove27]

Mpst iconic villian of all time? Nope. The Joker is.

[@Jcc2224]

That... is a very very valid argument. lol
