DARTH VADER

Darth Vader from Hasbro's Power of the Force line (Prequel Hype Era), released circa 1995–2000.

The over-muscled, neon-carded return of Star Wars to shelves — instantly recognizable for the buff proportions that made Kenner historians cringe and nostalgic collectors love in equal measure.

Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) is arguably the most iconic villain in film history. His black armor, deep breathing, red lightsaber, and James Earl Jones voice have made him universally recognizable. His original 1977 Kenner figure is one of the most collected vintage toys in existence. The character's 12-inch large-size figure from Kenner is particularly sought after.
