Jakks Pacific will have a great looking exclusive Darth Vader figure as a San Diego Comic-Con 2017 Exclusive. Jakks took their 20″ tall Darth Vader and repainted it to look like Vader from the iconic 1977 Star Wars poster by the Brothers Hildebrandt. This oversized figure has a vintage style play feature as well. If you squeeze the legs together, Darth Vader will swing his lightsaber and will activate lights and sounds. Along with the stylized paint scheme, the figure will come in vintage style packaging featuring artwork from the poster.
No word on pricing at this time. Images come via Yakface and Jakks Pacific. Check out the photos, and the poster that inspired the figure, after the jump.
SDCC 2017 Exclusive Star Wars Hildebrandt Darth Vader
That's pretty awesome. The Hilderbrandt poster is not only my favorite SW image (fun fact it was actually a do over for the Tom Jung poster-not the other way around) but probably one of the earliest images I remember seeing at all.
I will definitely be picking this up. I have some of the other SW Jakks exclusives so it will fit right in.
This is VERY awesome. I say this as someone who completely, 100% without fail, hates Star Wars.
wow looks great and love that packaging!
