9. Darth Vader VC 13
Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader
Coming in at 9th is Anakin Skywalker although the name pill says Darth Vader. This is meant to depict him on his duel on Mustafar with Obi-Wan Kenobi. So why does he rank 9th? Well, they made a lot of improvements over the previous versions.
The biggest change is the addition of ball joint elbows. Previous versions had swivel elbows, which offered a good range of motion, but just looked odd. Hasbro also made the best likeness of actor Hayden Christensen that hasn't been replicated since then. Even the eye scar has incredible detail.
Vader has 14 POA, and can achieve almost any action pose you can think of. The paint apps are clean, although the paint on some samples has smudgy paint on the belt. Other than that, a great figure. He can easily stand on his own and has no balance issues.
He comes with a robe that fits alright, I feel it's a bit oversized but he wears it well. He comes with both a lightsaber and unlit hilt that fits into a notch on the belt.
So why not higher? While he has ball joint hips, he lacks thigh swivels to be placed in more complex action poses. He can fit in his Jedi fighter, a big plus. Also, he is depicted as Vader since his eyes are Sith yellow. But there is hope that Hasbro could take this figure, paint his eyes blue and put out a definitive ROTS Anakin Skywalker using this figure. Heck, even pack a swappable head depicting him as Vader if you want. It's a great figure.
