Has there ever been a movie accurate one? I’m just curious because it would be awesome if there was.

There’ve been more Darth Vader collectibles than I think almost anyone could keep up with at this point. From small 3.75 inch figures to life size statues and quite literally everything in between. Screen accuracy is a never-ending debate and is ultimately in the eye of the beholder. A major factor that affects accuracy is the fact that the costume itself changed between films (and even within each film the costume can be different scene to scene and sometimes even shot to shot). But there are some very accurate figures and collectibles out there. For action figures, Hot Toys makes some of the best. They have produced at least four different 1/6 (about 12 inch scale) figures and have a 1/4 (about 18 inch scale) up for preorder. For 1/12 (six inch scale) figures, Hasbro made an awesome ANH Vader for the 40th anniversary and Mafex (a Japanese company) made a really nice figure for Rogue One.

Below I’ve included some pictures of some of my favorite Vader items from my personal collection.
