Went to TRU, only to be dissapionted by VERY limited figure choice, and no Vince display, or new figures. Anyways I picked up Vader as a qualifier. I dont really know who he is, but the masks looked cool so I got him lol. After unboxing him, I noticed that he's a one of a kind figure. He has his own torso mold, special hand molds, wider hip mold, and different legs/boots than any other figure. This figures is underrated IMO, and is probably one of the best Legend figures for its uniqueness. The 2 masks are great, and the cape is a nice addition as well. Highly recommend this figure  Fresh out tha box: (black mask was on him)  Black Mask/Cape:  Tights:  Black Mask:  No Mask:  Red Mask:  |

Love the pick up. You don't know how Vader is? Are you one of the kiddies? Yep. But thats not as bad as what my brother said. I told him I went to the store and bought a Vader fig, and he gets excited, and runs over to look, and he says: "You lied, that looks nothing like Darth Vader. He doesn't even have a lightsaber." |

I've never seen Vader without the mask so I'm not sure how accurate that is.

A great figure that I have in my collection, as well. Also it's a good head scan, looks a lot like old Leon White.
And you should check him out- look for video on YouTube of Ken Shamrock stiffing him (was really new to pro-wrestling at that point) and Vader gets annoyed of it and knocks him out with a punch and then advises him to 'ease up'.
He was a major headliner for WCW and wrestled Sting, British Bulldog and others, and came to WWE for a program with Shawn Michaels. (Summerslam 96?). He's also famous in Japan for being a tough but good worker. He's also noted for being really stiff in the ring, as in when his stuff looks like it hurts, it typically actually does.

Also, if I may say, check out his SuperBrawl III match with Sting. That was great.

Awesome pick up. Look up Vader when you have a chance he was pretty good in the WWE run. I think that is what hurts Mattel's sales. A lot of people aren't picking up figures of people they don't know who they are. Like Jakks kids bought colorful guys like Doink and such b/c they were cool characters and decent priced.

True, once this line is complete I doubt the Jakks run will be able to hold a candle- I just hope a renewed marketing campaign and different 'strategy' as Mattel puts it will be enough to keep it pushing through. This Vader is light years ahead of its Jakks counterpart.

That Vader figure is awesome. I was bummed that they didn't make him in his Vader Time attire, but the figure is really good still.
My favorite matches of his were against Mankind or Undertaker, but I guess he had some great matches before the WWF.
