The Evolution of Darth Vader Action Figures 1978-2015

[@rms13r]

6:38 The one on the right was my very first Vader too!!

[@weatherforecast4072]

same XD

[@NarutoUzumaki-uq7er]

All of them have they're own unique awesomeness, the Rebels one looks badass, love that design like his first concept art

[@LuisGonzalez-dq4bg]

Dude! Thank you! This not just any video, this IS the video for Darth Vader 3.75” guidance 🙏🏼

[@johnnylopez5702]

the coolest rarest Darth Vader action figures were the unmasked Darth Vader figures

[@NelsonVlog66]

The Darth Vader in meditation chamber is pretty cool, too. I have that and a complete 1978 Darth Vader figure. I also have the cinema scene Vader with Jedi Luke and Palpatine.

[@The_Nerra]

My favorite is ROTS Vader, but my first was tvc ESB Darth Vader. I want to get the Ralph McQuarrie, ANH, white variant, and Battle Damaged Darth Vaders

[@christopherboo6797]

My favorite is Revenge of the Sith, is iconic!

[@rodo2121]

Your first Darth Vader was as well my first one too, I remember that it came in the blue box from the Clone Wars because it was when they had this kind of game with the dice and the representative card.

[@GonkDroid0923]

2:02 I have that one with the removable helmet. Although anakins eyebrows worn off over time.

[@DarthDeuces]

Great video, loved this as Darth Vader is my favorite character. There has been good vader figures and bad vader figures lol. My favorite has to be the 3.75" black series Darth Vader from ROTS. The Sculpt on the helmet was awesome and the articulation was premium. Still need a bunch of these, I'd really like to get the Battle damaged vader and a few others that are out there.

[@Jcc2224]

+Darth CEJ Reviews The battle damaged is a must have man, it's simply amazing. Thanks for watching!

[@jayskoo1132]

I have the force unleashed battle damaged Darth Vader

[@maniax7517]

2005 ROTS Vader was my first Vader figure I bought I believe.

[@bosnaa7352]

i have the return of the jedi vader with removeble helmet but when i was a kid i sticked helmet to his head and i wanet to see how it looks detaild thank god i founded this video : )

[@twil2978]

The Vader at 3:42 was in a comic pack for the 30th anniversary collection

[@NelsonVlog66]

I like the red eyes on that figure.

[@mrgilamonyet]

I love potf2. The buffness is awsome. Lando has made the most gainz hahaha. The Empire lifts back yo 💪

[@joeyryder1748]

Subscribed to your channel. Awesome videos

[@Jcc2224]

Thanks, hope you enjoy!

[@CrazyPlatinum92]

That Vader figure with the red eyes came with a comic with a rebel captain

[@UnhingingLoki36]

your first Darth Vader was also my first Darth Vader! mine has a broken leg and arm (were glued back on), so it’s a sad looking figure now.

[@andrewsedmera7905]

The Black Series Empire Darth Vader is definitely the best Vader figure, but if you're looking for the best A New Hope Vader, the 30th Anniversary A New Hope Vader is the one to get. I was hoping to see him on the list, but I know it's literally impossible to get every Darth Vader ever. Great video!

[@JRockSamurai]

Nice collection! I recommend getting the McQuarrie Concept Series Darth Vader Figure, it's pretty badass!

[@Jcc2224]

I already have it, it sure is badass! Didn't include it in this considering this is the general evolution of Vader. Thinking about it now, probably should have shown it first!

[@donaldmsims8419]

JROCKSAMURAI 11Shane

[@lyleslaton7427]

Huger is only a word when talking about bad-ass Darth Vader figures. Cool video.

[@infinitetrooper979]

On the removable head vader wasnt the head white?

[@iggymanzanero1530]

hey, @Jcc2224, I have the original 1978 darth vader with cape although the light-saber is broken but it is a very cool figure and I love your videos.

[@stopmotionstarteraj5494]

your first Darth Vader was my first Darth Vader and I also have the light up one and when the battery went out I sorta stopped playing with it

[@DynamiteBarcTrooper]

The senate is the main man of Star Wars

[@thorcorecustoms1209]

I am the senate

[@theknightsofawesomeness2701]

No, you guys are Venom

[@GadZip]

@@thorcorecustoms1209 Not yet

[@seansreviews4437]

mine was the buff vader

[@starwarsroo2448]

I have that perfect black series one and think its miles better than even the new Rogue One version. My fave

[@darthvader.5115]

My top 3 favorite Darth Vader figures are the vintage 40th anniversary Darth Vader, the star the force unleashed Darth Vader, and the 30th anniversary concept art Darth Vader.

[@RaccoonVtuber]

And now there's a new TVC Vader to add to the line-up!

[@Avenging_Archer]

I have another version of the POTF Darth Vader, with removable cape and normal posture. You don't need the Force when you're rocking those GUNS!

[@maddwoba]

Nice! I had them all at one time or another---even still have the exclusive Vader that came with the escape the death star board game---that battle damaged vader is still a favorite--just wish they could make a figure that good now--haha--good stuff my friend---thanks for sharing

[@Jcc2224]

+maddwoba Yeah, seems like Hasbro isn't lowering their figure prices even though the price of oil has gone down, damn shame, but the figure market's pricing isn't nearly as flexible as gasoline. But it's shocking to think that we're paying $10 more per 3.75" figure than when they started nowadays.

[@FBI-bp7me]

2:22 I have that Vader figure, Yet no lightsaber and capes.

[@lalol10]

What do you think about the SH Figuarts one? I personally think it looks pretty awesome and very similar to the movies

[@swordkingjedimaster003]

I bought my vintage 70"s STARWARS Darth Vader action figures statues with the cape & the the chain that moves around it the arms move up & down but the body doesn't move & I bought it yesterday for $15.00 at a Re-do MALL FLEE MARKET IN BILOXI PASS ROAD MISSISSIPPI ?

[@mgvillanmp478]

that potj Vader glows in the dark ..awesome collection man ..you missed a few ...LOL hahahahaaaa!!

[@Jcc2224]

+M.G.Villan Which one? I don't think any of these I showed glow in the dark, pretty sure I would've seen it while I was going to sleep! The glow in the dark figures I have REALLY glow sometimes!

[@mgvillanmp478]

+Jcc2224 the emperor wrath one he supposed to glow in the dark I had that one I was told he has that feature

[@Jcc2224]

Oh, that's not the POTJ one I show in the video, that's a later Saga Collection release. I didn't know there was a glow in the dark one though, I need to track that down!

[@jointchief7560]

Nice line up man! I think I have 4 or 5 of these. Also 2 of the 6in Vaders I have.. Yeah removable helmets on Vader is a catch22. It's hard to get the angles and margins perfect on such a small scale. I still think TVC helmet is better than the 6in helmet. Great vid man!

[@brianartillery]

My favourite Darth Vader figure is one you don't show: it's the 'Ghost Vader' from 'The Empire Strikes Back' - it has a removable head, and the mask comes off, to reveal Luke Skywalker's dead, staring face. It's eerie, and I love it.

[@kickboxproductionsfilms9523]

HI I love your videos man.I have the otc Return Of The Jedi figure. I wish i didn't loose is neck piece that covers up the bottom of his face

[@madarauchiha919]

I have an original 78 vader with original cape and the tip on the saber.

[@ahmadumairrayyan4243]

where did you get that white Darth vader

[@sherlock5720]

I had the hasbro one from the 90s. He sits on my sisters shelf at home but he has no sword or cape.

[@fanboy2015]

My first Vader figure was in 1978. Unfortunately, it is lost to the unknown. Haven’t seen it in almost 40 years.

[@derfymen6537]

I just bought your first Vader from tbs

[@wemadbroyt6915]

Mine is the last one :)

[@anne123480]

my parents have some vintage Star wars including Darth vader in the loft somewhere and theirs one on top of the roof from the late 90s belonging to my brother i threw him up their and he went in the guttering and is still their far as a know lol poor old Darth vader

[@theonemasterwarhero]

There's 4 Darth Vader figures I'd recommend to you that I didn't see here which I think you'd agree are very good if you can get them. 1. Star wars POTF Darth Vader removable helmet/detachable hand and freeze frame slide - this was the best 90s Darth Vader and holds up very well next to the new cause of how excellent the paint job was and how it looks. 2. Special edition 500th Darth Vader - Darth Vader in his iconic regeneration dome we see in empire strikes back with his armour matching his episode 5 appearance...the figure is also removable from the dome as posable articulated figure and holds the lightsaber quite nicely if you can slide the hilt under his fingers. 3. 30th anniversary #16 a new hope Darth Vader - which has an appearance in looks between ROTS/TFU and a new hope and has a removable helmet to reveal a young Anakin and comes with a stand that is shaped into obi wan's cloak after he became one with the force. 4. 30th anniversary #28 concept Darth Vader - based on Ralph McQuarrie's first concept art designs for how the star wars character originally looked this is a very interesting Darth Vader figure and almost brings back some old memories and nostalgia of being a child and knowing the character for the first time and how terrifying he was...this figure has two changeable heads/helmets with different looks and a darkish pale blue lightsaber and a heavy blaster pistol 0_o I guess these are my more a less top faves alongside the battle damage/2012 vc115 emperor's wrath/2006 sage collection 013 hoth Vader and finally the ROTS target exclusive lava reflection.

[@Jcc2224]

Funny enough I already had 2 and 4 when I made this video, it's the same as the one I talk about at 6:40 but I kept it in the box. I didn't show the concept one because it's not a traditional Darth Vader. And 1 and 3 I ended up getting after I filmed this video!

[@theonemasterwarhero]

Jcc2224 lol...yes I was aware the 500th figure was the same as the one at 6:40...apart from slightly different paint on some parts...great figures though...what did you think to 1 and 3?

[@rtji0]

OTVC ROTJ Vader was my first, I lost the helmet very quickly.

[@MychalMinerGaming]

My first Darth Vader was the Ep 6 vintage collection Vader and my second was a new hope vc

[@therealThundergod132]

My favorite Darth Vader figure of all time is the Disney Premium Elite series Darth Vader. It is by far the best looking Darth Vader figure I have seen throughout the years. It's a really good looking figure, almost like a discount hot toys figure. I suggest you check it out for yourself! :)

[@Jcc2224]

I got it recently, it's alright, certainly not my favorite. I struggle to get it in poses I want and the proportions are a bit off. I prefer the 40th Black Series figure. The premium is still good though.

[@bronykingamethystrain5676]

I hope we get a Force Unleashed Battle-Damaged Vader for 1/12th Black Series soon. OG Expanded Universe will always be better.

[@NOPITINFAERA]

Cool

[@thecosmicpallbearer]

I have enough General Grievous figures to do my own evolution video,god why

[@spunkhead]

fuck yeah...dope collection....

[@connortessier9841]

2:41 how I mean his mussle where burned his arms are medal

[@rtji0]

Well, the figure was made before that was a thing.

[@diriangeno]

Darth vader is the best 👌

[@AlejandroGonzalez-fs5ez]

i had the buff vader, the "skull" vader too, you could take his hand off

[@warmecanic]

12:43 Ah, well, Hasbro don´t know people this days. Sure someone replaced the goddam batteries. God bless those heroes who did not get scare of it

[@mgvillanmp478]

I dig the VC "new hope" one thats

[@Jcc2224]

+M.G.Villan Yeah, that's a really good one! I forgot to mention in the video he has ball-hinged hips too, so that's another bonus!

[@mgvillanmp478]

+Jcc2224 yea that one is my absolute favorite hands down i call him "OG"

[@MrRe-pg7fj]

I like renavenge of the sith but I got the darts Vader which came with cammader bow two pack

[@Alienkiwi730]

I got my first Vader in 1998. Was part of the 97 release line, doesn't look like it's in this video

[@odessaflores6683]

My first Vader was the battle damage one 8:59

[@y2jwb666]

Show all of them!!

[@wwavyy]

[@BigDaddy-wm5vk]

[@josephl1146]

[@eustaa8997]

I had darth Vader one that u can take off the helmet

[@noobneticanimations8800]

This vedio is sooo young 3 years ago

[@LuisGonzalez-dq4bg]

So Black Series it is 👌🏼

[@zeke.2163]

I️ used to have the otc return of the Jedi Vader and I️ lost his helmet pieces and got scared of his head and never played with him again 😂

[@collinschoenfelder677]

They revenge of the Sith one with the gimmick was my first darth Vader I ever owned 😢 sadly it got lost in a move

[@Jcc2224]

Thankfully it's a cheaper figure if you ever wanna rebuy one!

[@josephtan5577]

the vintage darth vader looksl ike the lightsaber comes out of his arm - if you can understand my weird description.

[@agentoregonanimations6687]

P.O.T.F. really real on steroids

[@saintvaporofficial147]

I have the emperor's wrath one

[@coolleonid]

u forgot to included the 12 inch 2013 titan hero series Darth Vader [PLZ REPLAY I WANT TO KNOW IS THAT FIGURE A NICE FIGURE OR A BAD FIGURE. AND IT HAS A CLOTH CAPE AND ALSO A 5 POINTS OF ARTICULATION ]

[@Jcc2224]

This was just the 3.75" Darth Vaders so I didn't show that. It's an alright figure, a nice toy but not really a collectible. It has 7POA, it can move its wrists.

[@coolleonid]

ok and thanks

[@Iron-Man728]

My first vader is the empire strikes back

[@gruger41]

my dog chewed up my dads 1977-1978 darth vader figure in perfect condition worth 2000 usd.

[@platypusguy1665]

I have the vintage Vader and obi wan…. But no light saber

[@Gabelebabele]

I own three darth vader figures and you only listed 1.

[@Tabth3778]

11:57 Rogue One hallway scene be like

[@ahmadumairrayyan4243]

I have a cloth Darth vader

[@anne123480]

in mint condition the first ever Darth Vader would be worth a fortune now like all the Star wars figures but their always been played with like the ones in our loft the first Darth vader is missing his cape also his light saber and his feet have been chewed think i heard someone say he was attacked by a neighbors dog years and years ago

[@triple7gaming]

I love the rots black series one. The galaxy of adventures Vader from last year is pretty good too for 5poa.

[@shiftedautophobiac3718]

I lost my helmet pieces for my return of the jedi vader, I kinda want to make a unmasked force unleashed vader but I don't have the resources :/

[@shiftedautophobiac3718]

I'm not really the best at customs either, I'm learning the basics still but a custom force unleashed vader would be an epic forster project ;3

[@martsbal2099]

macquarrie vader honestly is the best imo. Looks like a samurai which makes it look bad.ass

[@leannahathaway3548]

I have a black a series first order flame and snow trooper

[@flamingo7514]

13:21 we would be * honored if you would join us

[@the.flying.barracuda8781]

[@jackdubz4247]

2:39 Jacked Vader.

[@bodeeeen]

No the main man is that one guy that got his arm cut off by obiwan

[@Jcc2224]

[@kmkmurray9751]

[@lartts7483]

You're so stupid

[@dimledimledim]

[@Jcc2224]

I didn't get a good camera until 2017. Not everyone has the luxury of having decent phone cameras.

[@Jcc2224]

[@darthvader3781]

GOD 1978 Vader look like weird... black Series is better

[@michelcollis9134]

my favorite was the one where you actually took off the helmet because I was reading that did the scene of episode 6 in episode 3 when they put on and take off the mask

[@SoftEndy]

NO WAY!

[@darthvader3781]

Mr. Popo no way?
