May the 4th rolls on with plenty of new Star Wars announcements and reveals, including a pair new pieces from Gentle Giant, for pre-order.
I wish I had that Vader as a kid
Star Wars fans who are old enough to remember playing with the toys from the original trilogy might agree, how badly did you want a Darth Vader with removable helmet? Of course, that didn’t come till years later, and it definitely wasn’t in the form factor of the original figures. But here we are in 2023, and at long last that’s being seen too. Sort of.
It’s not a 3.75 inch figure by any stretch, but Gentle Gian’t new Darth Vader is every bit the retro-flavored toy that would have been a smash back in the 80s. He’s just a tad bigger, clocking in in the 12″ scale.
He’s not alone either, as the collectible company has a second reveal for this Star Wars Day. That other item focuses on one of the saga’s biggest fan faves too, being a bust of Han Solo who’s clad in his Endor gear from Return of the Jedi.
