Hasbro fittingly launches their new Evolutions assortment with Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader. Three all new sculpts mark the rise and fall of the chosen one himself. Loaded with articulation, features, and accessories, we christen this the ultimate 3 3/4 Darth Vader set. While we wouldn't call it perfect, you will never find (as of now) a more beautiful troika of plastic assembled in one boxed set.

Both Anakins include interchangeable right hands and Darth Vader features a removable helmet with a nicely sculpted white visage of the fallen Dark Lord (and with corrected "burnt off" eyebrows to boot!). For 20 bucks, it's a no brainer. Look for this set to hit stores later this month. And seeing how anything Vader has a short shelf life in local stores, you may want to pre-order yours online.
