Celebrate the iconic rise of Darth Vader with Hot Toys’ new deluxe 1/6 scale figure capturing his transformation and battle-worn look.
The Epic Transformation of Anakin Skywalker
Star Wars fans vividly remember the tragic fall of Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith. After his brutal showdown with Obi-Wan Kenobi on the fiery planet Mustafar, Anakin was left gravely injured and burned beyond recognition. Just when all hope seemed lost, Emperor Palpatine saved him, rushing Anakin to a surgical center for life-saving procedures. This critical moment marked the birth of Darth Vader, the dark, armored Sith Lord.
Now, collectors can relive that powerful transformation with Hot Toys’ newest Deluxe Darth Vader 1/6 scale figure. This release commemorates the 20th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith and is the second Vader figure Hot Toys has introduced for this milestone.

- Cuffed hands

- Two articulated droids assisting with the operation
Darth Vader himself features an exquisitely tailored suit, a new and sacred head sculpt with rolling eyeballs, and his iconic red lightsaber, perfectly capturing the moment he embraces his dark destiny.
Behind the Mask: The Story of Darth Vader’s Birth
“Once a heroic Jedi Knight, Anakin Skywalker's descent into darkness resulted in a fateful duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar, where he was devastatingly defeated and left gravely injured and severely burned. Rescued by Emperor Palpatine, Anakin was transported to Coruscant, where he underwent a harrowing reconstructive surgery at the Emperor Palpatine Surgical Reconstruction Center, which encased him in the iconic black armor and life-supporting suit, marking his rebirth as Darth Vader.”
This figure beautifully captures that haunting moment of rebirth and loss, reminding fans of the fragile line between hero and villain.
