        He’s great! I always loved this Kenner Star Wars line.

          I always thought it was weird how Kenner cheaped out on some figures and went all out on others.

          It just seems the limited joints light hollow non removable anything of Vader, Chewy, 3PO, Stormtrooper and Bobo Fett are a sharp contrast with the human figures --- almost like they belong to two different toy lines.

          Still cool figures

            12" Fett was deluxe IMO. Great line.

              I got this DV for 2 bucks at a garage sale including the cape and light saber. Horrible articulation and he couldnt hold the light saber. Still he was the main villain for the team of Steve Austin and Pulsar.

                Once of the best looking Vader figures IMO.

                I agree, Fett retailed for around five dollars more than the others in Canada at least, so he was definitely deluxe. I absolutely love this line, I wish it continued further.

                  Beautiful photo. The head sculpting on that Vader, while maybe not Hot Toys accurate, was incredibly accurate for its time, and quite complex. It's a great toy.

                    Still have mine too. Now he is in a retro box.
                    If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                      I only had the large-size R2D2. His dome head made a clicking sound when turned, and he had a secret compartment in back that opened up and contained 2 "discs"(?). Not sure if that's the right name but it resembled the old floppy discs, only miniature plastic versions.

                        This is still, to this day, the best sculpted Vader toy.

                        You can say "Hot Toys" but Hot Toys is not really a toy. Toys are meant to be played with. Plus, I said sculpted. Hot Toys is also tailored. Yeah, Kenner Vader has a fabric cape. You get my point.

                          I got this figure in Summer of '79. It was so great.
