Darth Vader Die Cast

[MisterJ85]

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....

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

In the future I wonder if Funko might make something of their own. They made pops with sounds that fizzled out, but the Cases might be easier to market.

There's a couple other companies that have done it and lots of customs, so I'm sure Funko will want a piece of that pie soon enough

I have seen glow and bloody protectors but nothing with LED. Thankyou for the info, I will need to do some shopping later

[wolfy233]

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.

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.

The weight definitely makes it feel fancier. Heft=value .

[squidward]

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.

I agree. I thought it was already released.
I'll go for the non-Chase when he is available.

Be sure to post — would love to see the result

Right!? I find that with a lot of things. If it's light, it feels cheaper. Give it some heft and it feels more valuable — I guess because heavier materials typically have more inherent value. And metal collectibles are just cool

I think it will gain more value long term

[racheva]

Well Vader is up! Not quick to sell out. I only got one, so we’ll see! I’d love a metal one to match my Boba, but I don’t want to end up with two of the same.

[Mario Wario]

Got my Vader, can’t wait to see it in-person.

[2017fanatic]

ordered one! hoping my luck for a chase! (will be happy with either)

[millone]

I'm still debating. I want to so bad....

[Mawhonic7]

So happy to finally get thia one. Been looking forward to it for quite some time!

[lazcommalisa]

Loved seeing that this Die-Cast Vader dropped today since I know a lot of people have been anticipating for it. Hopefully, people are lucky and get the chase (if they want it). I was thrown off today since Funko Hollywood posted its on the table for purchase since the store has new hours now. Wondering what the next Die-Cast figure will be or if it'll make an SDCC debut.

Do it!!!!!

(If you're able to of course, only semi-pressure )

Plus, you can add another item to reach $65 and get a free gift AND shipping

[WarHmongHer]

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!

I have a feeling that they could do a Buzz Lightning first just because of the movie coming out. And i would be totally ok with that too .

[conventiongeek]

Got mine! Was hoping it would be a SDCC exclusive...Funko shop still good.

[LakerSpartan117]

Felt kind of relieved that it wasn't an SDCC exclusive because I know it'd be a pain to get. Best to luck to anyone hoping for the chase. I think I prefer the common this time around. Vader's suit just feels perfect for die-cast coating

[FunkoEmu]

The Vader is cool. Not sure I care for the unpainted chase. It almost would make more sense for that to be the common and the painted to be the chase (if they aren't just going to pain them differently anyway).

[FerrisGuy3]

Same. I’m happy to have either version. Love them both

I can definitely see them releasing the next for SDCC. Let’s just hope not a LE exclusive

[Jalcmkzv87]

Well, trying my odds. Ordered a few so hopefully I get 1 of each. Good luck to all who ordered.

[StarWarsFunkoGirl]

hoping my luck is better than the Boba (0-4)

[007jayc]

hoping my luck is better than the Boba (0-4)

Same here. I was 0-4 with Boba Fett too. Hoping for better luck as well.

IKR...well fingers crossed for you Jay

[GalaxyBodega]

Is the chase chance still 1 in 6?

[jarroyo2491]

Overall pretty cool pop, but ima just stay away from any die cast.
Don’t really use hard stacks, even for my own collection.

[BestDadEver]

Vader Diecast with chance of chase

Wow this is great I want the chase

These die cast pops have been so on point!!! I would love to collect all of them but definitely have to choose wisely so I don’t go broke haha

[wolfe335]

Helmet less chase could’ve been sweet

[engu001]

Hopefully I get one of each!

[friskykillface]

I passed on it but it was super tempting
Those die casts are cool

[skillawashere]

This Vader looks great! Congrats to those that got one.

I was so sorry when I got the e-mail I clicked the link and was too late. So now I just hit Notify Me when they come back in.

[WeeJavaDude27]

Order one. Don't like the chase look though I have not seen it in person. Assume over time the CHase would be more valuable, but the black looks good and will look great next to cap, ironman, and the bat.

I ordered two I hope I get the chase

[comic book guy]

I can't believe I was a little late but was still able to get one!

[LucyAnn]

I was able to get 2 today maybe i will get lucky !!!

[nightbodega]

Happy to hear a lot of people got this. Die cast is a great variant. I'd love to see a lights and sound of this.

[AnyGivenFunko]

I love these die cast. I bought two. Hope to complete the set in one shot. Good luck everyone!
