    Darth Vader

    Anybody know anything about this figure?

    StarWarsShop.com - 8 Real Action Darth Vader Metal Figure

    It sure looks like an official Star Wars figure in Mego scale...

        True, but it's not a custom. And with EMCE, CTVT, Cast-a-Way and soon Mattel and ZICA I'm not used to paying that much for an 8" figure

            Is this the only figure in the line or are there others, like Luke, Obi-Wan, Han Solo, Stormtroopers, ...?

              The made a Boba Fett version as well.
              8 Boba Fett Metal Figures - Daily Star Wars News, Reviews & Discussions Source

              Both are from Tomy Japan.
              I wanted to get the Boba Fett but as you can see, it's like the Medicom dolls. Not into that. Prefer the Mego style figures.

                Not familiar with Medicom dolls... what is the difference between them and Mego?

                The product description seems to indicate these are metal, but given these particular figures, metal seems to work. Guess what I'm really wondering is if they are Mego-like enough that I could blend these guys in with the rest of my collection...

                  The Medicom figure(s) are Metal. So they are actually real Heavy. You would be surprised by the Weight of these... Everything, and I mean Everything is apart in a Box, and you assemble the figure. These things Have like 30 points of Articulation, and are so Damn Detailed you think they stepped off of the Set of the Movie.

                  I own Both Vader, and Fett. Yes they do fit in Nicely with the 8 inch formate. Vader might be just a Smigged taller, I never built him yet to see.

                  These figures are Awesome.I feel anyone Who bought them would not be dissapointed. These are some fine figures, I had wished they made somemore.

                    The bodies are metal, everything else is fabric and PVC. I wonder if you could dress a Mego with those parts

                      Darth Vader should be a smidge taller anyway, so he would fit in.

                            Thanks for all the info, guys.

                            Sounds like my biggest problem will be the price. Guess I just need to convince Santa that I've been especially good this year.
