Darth Vader Star Wars Retro Collection Action Figure | 1:18 Scale | A New Hope
 
Command the power of the Dark Side with this Darth Vader Star Wars Retro Collection action figure from “A New Hope.” This meticulously crafted 3.75-inch figure captures the Dark Lord of the Sith in his iconic appearance from the original 1977 film that launched the Star Wars saga. Part of the highly sought-after Retro Collection line, this figure pays homage to the legendary Kenner toys that defined a generation of Star Wars collectors, delivering pure nostalgic joy for fans both new and old.
 
The figure features Darth Vader’s distinctive black armor with remarkable attention to detail, from his imposing helmet to his flowing cape and chest panel controls.
 
With the classic five-point articulation system (swivel neck, two swivel shoulders, and two swivel hips), you can pose this legendary villain in various action stances from the film, including his memorable lightsaber duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi or his intimidating presence aboard the Death Star. The detailed sculpt captures Vader’s imposing silhouette and the alternating satin black and gunmetal finish that made him one of cinema’s most recognizable villains.
 
Each figure comes complete with a red lightsaber accessory that fits perfectly in either hand, allowing you to recreate pivotal scenes from “A New Hope.” The removable vinyl cape, approximately 0.5 inches wider than the original Kenner version, drapes naturally over Vader’s shoulders, enhancing both the figure’s appearance and play value. The figure stands exceptionally well on its own, making it ideal for display alongside other figures from the Star Wars Retro Collection as you build out your A New Hope scenes or Sith collection. The stable stance and high-quality paint application have earned this figure an impressive 4.6/5 star rating from 870 collectors.

Character Background
Darth Vader stands as one of the most iconic villains in cinema history. Making his debut in “A New Hope,” this imposing Sith Lord serves as the Empire’s enforcer, hunting down the stolen Death Star plans and crushing the Rebellion. Standing 2.03 meters tall in the Star Wars universe, Vader’s distinctive black armor—comprised of durasteel, plasteel, and plastoid components—houses the broken body of Anakin Skywalker while providing life support and enhancing his already formidable Force abilities.
 
In “A New Hope,” Vader demonstrates his power through several unforgettable scenes, from his entrance aboard the Tantive IV to his Force-choking of Admiral Motti and his climactic lightsaber duel with his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. His ominous breathing, commanding presence, and ruthless determination established him as the ultimate villain, while his distinctive costume design—featuring the angular helmet, chest-mounted control panel, and flowing cape—created an instantly recognizable silhouette that has become synonymous with the Star Wars franchise.
Display this iconic Sith Lord alongside other figures from the Star Wars Retro Collection to build out your own galactic saga. The figure’s stable standing position makes it perfect for shelf display while maintaining the authentic vintage feel that collectors cherish.
