Jeez, he is tiny! Look at those 3 figures, they're all the same price point! They're all supreme class. What a crock! I was hoping the Death Star would at least be the same size as Primus but they just keep getting smaller & smaller for the same damn price! I was upset when Primus was smaller than Unicron, now try to imagine how I feel. They made a tiny figure & added a ton of dead space in the box so they can still charge $50.00. And they're probably hoping nobody would notice!
Vader has more gimmicks than Primus and Unicron together, hence the price tag.
Can you describe the sounds and lights? Any phrases?
Yea, his lights and sounds are awesome.
In Robot mode, his lightsaber hand has a seperate light and sound to activate the lightsaber. Also you can press his front button to make him say his phrases and light up his chest, there are a couple of vader originals there. In ship mode (or by pressing the back button, his lights and sounds are not mode dependent), he does two phrases (I think, he's not in front of me now) and the Death Sta cannon does like a countdown thing with the lights, then does all lights like it's firing...but after it fires, it does the Darth Vader breathing noise, which I think could have been left out of vehicle mode.
One thing that I noticed is that it is hard to transform back to robot becase once it's in a ball, I could find where to crack the shell, it is that tight! I did figure it out, and got him back. Then I looked at the instructions and see they actually do include seperate "back to robot mode" instructions for that reason. The instructions are the biggest I've seen in a long time. Which is how I found ot that the Tie Fighters have "functionality".
