The tragic descent of the Chosen One reached the premium tier of The Vintage Collection in 2010 as part of the initial Wave 2 launch. This "Foil" variant of Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) features the definitive Revenge of the Sith sculpt but is distinguished by the limited-edition silver foil packaging. Released as a chase subset to celebrate the return of the Kenner-style branding, this variant is highly prized by carded collectors for its striking reflective border, which frames the Sith apprentice during his dark crusade against the Jedi Order.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Fallen Hero Silhouette: The sculpt features Anakin in his dark, multi-layered Jedi tunics, rendered with a realistic fabric texture that suggests the heat of the Mustafar system. The figure captures his lean, aggressive combat posture, reflecting the raw power of his newly embraced Sith abilities during the massacre at the Jedi Temple.
• Deco & Sith Eyes: The 2010 release is defined by its menacing paint application. The figure features the "Sith Eyes"—a burning yellow and red deco signifying his fall. The paint on his facial features captures an intense, disheveled look, providing a sharp contrast to his earlier "Hero" iterations.
• Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The specialized "rocker" ankles are essential for this figure, allowing for the wide, dynamic lightsaber stances required to recreate the "Battle of the Heroes."
• Display Utility: While the foil carding often dictates a "sealed" display, the figure itself is the mandatory "villain" for any Order 66 diorama. He is best positioned leading a squad of 501st Clone Troopers (VC15).

Accessories & Equipment

Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) comes prepared to end the Jedi Order with his signature weapon. He includes his blue-bladed lightsaber, featuring a detailed hilt sculpt that would eventually become the "Skywalker Saber" passed down to Luke. A standout feature of the 2010 release is the removable mechanical right hand, which can be swapped out to simulate his injury during the duel. Additionally, the figure includes a premium soft-goods Jedi cloak with a deep hood that can be pulled forward to shroud his Sith features as he enters the temple grounds.
