Description

Building a character, not a vehicle

Most Star Wars sets put minifigures inside a ship or a location. This one goes the other way: the figure is the whole model. There are no minifigures included, and all 160 pieces go into Vader himself, from the helmet down to the boots. The result is closer to an action figure than a playset, something to pick up, pose and set down again. It will appeal to builders who collect characters rather than vehicles.

Who stands behind the mask

Darth Vader is the fallen Jedi Anakin Skywalker, serving the Emperor as a Sith Lord throughout the original trilogy. His black armour, cape, red lightsaber and mechanical breathing make him instantly recognisable, even to people who have never watched the films. Turning that silhouette into a bigger figure gives the helmet and chest details more room than a minifigure ever could. On a desk or shelf, he makes a clear statement about which side of the saga you enjoy.

Many shapes, few repeats

A total of 63 unique elements across 160 pieces is a high share for a set this size. Figures with joints, armour plates and a sculpted helmet need plenty of specialised parts, so there is less repetition than in a typical vehicle. Black and dark bluish grey dominate, with blue and red as accents. If you are checking a used copy, the parts list on this page shows every element with its colour and count.

Reusing a figure's parts

Parts from buildable figures do not always slot into standard models, but they are handy for robots, mechs or armoured characters of your own. A good supply of black pieces also helps with dark ships and vehicles. Open What can I build? on this page to see which sets your current collection could already cover. It may reveal another project hiding in the bricks you already own, once Vader has had his turn on the shelf.
