Darth Vader Die Cast

[Hachiman]

With how small micro LEDs have gotten and the LED mods I have seen on miniatures I wouldn't be surprised if a fan made a light saber.

[Imagery]

Buzz Lightyear would be excellent in diecast form

With the new movie, that could definitely be a possibility

Never even thought about this one but it would lend itself extremely well to a diecast. The shine would make him look so eye-catching.

A removable helmet would be next level

[Imagery]

Now this would be fantastic. Something I’ll definately buy. Love the incredibles. She would be a great start!

Would love to see how they'd treat Disney die cast

Me too, I think a lighting McQueen would just make perfect sense in diecast. Be a 1st horizontal one. Lol.

Oh, that would be a lot of fun!

[Imagery]

Kinda glad we are still waiting for Die Cast Vader because Star Wars Celebration emptied my wallet a bit!

It emptied many wallets, I’m sure.

I went for the sodas alone to help myself not go so crazy... this die cast is so cool and they are all supposed to have chases now right?

Me too! Yes, they're all expected to have chases going forward, which is definitely pushing me to be more selective

[JCFun]

You know, they dabbled in light-up pops, but I do wonder if they would dip their toe into the sound version of a pop or two.

If they started adding special versions with sounds, that'd be innnsaaanely cool! Especially for Vader and a red saber

I think the key is they should stick to sounds and not vocals, if you will. There's some potential to make the pop more "regal" or "ominous" much like certain glow pops do to a character.

I agree. You can get away with poor sound quality if it's just a sound effect, but a voice is something you're expecting to understand . It would add a deeper element to it for sure!

Yeah, I'd rather them be more limited than have chases. The chases just don't have the "wow" factor that one would hope for.

I rather too but I'm sure it's gonna be tough to get

I agree. I'm a huge Boba Fett fan and was perfectly happy with the regular die cast version that I received. The all silver chases are not unique enough for me to go after.

Totally agree. Plus now it seems like everything has a chase. Sort of lost it's appeal

[Niteowl_1]

Waiting on this one. I think this is the first time I hope to not get a chase

[squidward]

Yep, I agree with this sentiment for this item.

[racheva]

Waiting on this one. I think this is the first time I hope to not get a chase

I honestly did not care when I ordered Boba Fett, but I ended up getting the chase and I do like how it looks. I decided not to display it with my other pops and instead put it on the shelf with my lightsabers from Galaxy’s Edge. Of course, now I am going to want the matching chase if I am able to order Darth Vader. Collecting is a hobby that never, ever ends!

With no one wanting it, maybe it will be easier to get if you strike out.

That would be awesome!

[0mie]

These look cool in person, still haven’t got one…but maybe if I’m lucky I’ll score one!

[wolfy233]

Same. I think I'd turn around and trade it for something else that I'm missing.

[shadow and flame]

Need both regular and chase to match Boba and to keep the die cast set complete

Such a true statement about the hobby that never ends, anytime I’m out I always check the pops and sports cards

From your lips the the pop gods' ears!

Now answer me- do I get the non-chase versions of both, in addition to the chases? I've been thinking about this as I update my spreadsheet!

Sometimes I question the sanity of my decision back in 2013 to buy a few Star Wars funko pops at SDCC. Fast forward a few years, and suddenly I'm collecting the whole line. Now I need a google spreadsheet to keep track of them!

[Hopesdenial]

Definitely need to get these when they come out. Vader is one of my all time favorites.

[hailmary25]

Vader is a need, hope it comes soon. I mean it was announced before Brook wasn't it?

I feel like it's gotta be any day now

I think I just want very unique chases, repaints and such I just cant justify.... otherwise I would be overrun!

Agree - I love metallic too but even the metallic are getting a little stale, IMO

[conventiongeek]

Maybe they will make him a SDCC exclusive?

[LakerSpartan117]

For some reason I thought this was already released. I'm still hoping for a different type of chase for die-cast pops moving forward instead of just being an unpainted variant of the mold.

[Jalcmkzv87]

As a Star Wars fan and Vader fan, I’m very excited for this one. I got lucky with Boba chase and common. Hoping for the same here.

Agreed! I really enjoyed the initial releases that seemed limited, even without the chases. Die cast is just a cool variant on its own

They feel fancier somehow maybe its the weight or the price or a combination of both.

Nice on the Boba Fett gets!

Yup, also excited to add this Vader to my collection, which I hope is soon!

I've always liked die cast model cars too. I think part of it is the extra heft

The case is what sells it for me, the engraved acrylic looks nice on a shelf. They are made for display. I wish the base had LED in them.

I completely agree! I have seen some custom LEDs that look sooooooo EPIC....

I have the first few, now I am being more selective. I will look into DIY LEDs. It's tempting to try and wire what I have together so there are less switches and batteries.

As long as you dont plan on rearranging them anytime soon

I would probably put them on their own shelf. It would also make wiring a bit easier.

OHHHHH that's a great idea!!! You might even be able to put extra lights on the shelf, now I am getting ideas hahahahahah

Oh, good point about the acrylic cases. It definitely makes for a nicer display piece. Lights would really take it to the next level
