There have been countless action figures of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, but never one that puts the two together in that iconic scene where Luke goes, “No. No. That’s not true. That’s impossible!” when Lord Vader reveals that he is his father. Well, at least not in the general action figure space—until now. Folks, meet the Star Wars The Black Series Darth Vader & Luke Skywalker.
This isn’t just another pair of 6-inch action figures thrown into a box. This is a full-on cinematic moment distilled into plastic perfection. Hasbro wants you to relive the emotional trauma of a galaxy far, far away, where family therapy involves lightsabers and a dramatic fall through Cloud City’s HVAC system.
The set features premium photo-real deco, which means you’ll get Luke’s “devastated but trying to stay cool” face and Darth Vader’s ever-judgmental helmet in full glory. Both come armed with their signature Lightsabers, plus a “clash effect” accessory—because what’s a father-son bonding moment without a little blade-on-blade action? There’s even a blaster for… reasons.
The pièce de résistance here has to be the display stand modeled after the Cloud City platform, complete with a railing for Luke to cling to after having his worldview shattered. Bonus: no risk of falling to your doom.
Articulation-wise, you’re covered. Heads, arms, legs—pose ‘em however you like. Recreate the moment. Recreate the aftermath. Recreate awkward post-reunion brunch. The packaging is sleek, closed-box style with collectible character art that practically screams, “I spent too much money on this, and I regret nothing.”
The Star Wars The Black Series Darth Vader & Luke Skywalker is available to pre-order now from hasbropulse.com for US$69.99, with shipping slated to begin November 1, 2025.
