8. Darth Vader VC 93 VC Top 10
Coming in at 8th is Darth Vader (VC 93) as depicted from A New Hope. He is an incredibly well made figure, and is the first Vader figure to get ball joint hips. The good news here, is that this Vader figure can still fit in his POTF2 TIE Fighter.
Vader has 14 POA, and comes with a cloth cape and cloth lower robes, and a full lightsaber with no unlit hilt. But what really makes this the best OT era Darth Vader, and the best VC Vader in his suit, is he can actually hold his lightsaber IN HIS RIGHT HAND!! Amazing! It's a problem other Vader figures have had over the years. This version of Vader is different as in A New Hope, Vader has cloth over his shoulder armor while in ESB & ROTJ it is under the shoulder armor. This figure has molded plastic over the armor that forms into cloth below the belt, making posing this figure easy to do.
So why isn't he higher? There are some issues wirh his chest plate and mask that may not be entirely film accurate to ANH. Also, the lack of swivel thighs, a feature not added until 2016 would make this figure an easy top 5 choice as he could achieve more dynamic poses. My biggest regret is not getting another to keep on card because the original Kenner card for Vader is one of my favorites.
