Hehehehe...is that a velvet cape he's got? He must have been hiding really well cause I never saw him...or maybe my glasses just don't work anymore. |

Is that the Kenner 15" figure from 1978? I still have the one my grandparents gave me for Christmas when I was about 10 years old. It's a toy I prized back then and still cherish today. |

Nice catch! The cape looks to be nylon and the limbs look blow molded. I'd bet that's a Mexican version of the Darth Vader that Kenner released. |

FWIW, something happened to the value of vintage Kenner Star Wats stuff in the past 10+ years since the "Special Editions" came out. Back in 1997, figures really sold for a high price. And carded? Through the roof. Right now the prices are so low that even overpriced stores like Saint Marks Comics in NYC have carded 12-back cards selling for less than $200 right in the store. I guess George Lucas's goal of releasing new films to create new merchandise so he could tap into the collector's market again worked well.. For him... |

One of my favorite Vaders. I got my at a flea market for 5 bucks. The only problem is that it's too tall for all my shelves. |
