It’s the climactic confrontation between the forces of good and evil. Two venerable warriors – a legendary Jedi Knight and his former Padawan, now seduced to the dark side of the Force – are reunited for a final duel that will decide the fate of the galaxy.

Posted by Brian in Original Trilogy Collection on 2010/07/18
Description: More than 25 years after we first saw the Star Destroyer enter the screen at the beginning of A New Hope, Star Wars continues to both inspire and entertain. Much more than just a series of films Star Wars is a total experience. Essential components of that experience are the toys that we grew (and continue to grow) up with and the sense of community that brings us together to discuss, debate, and share all things Star Wars. It is with respect to the heritage of that experience that Hasbro offers this limited action figure to celebrate the dedication and enthusiasm of the fan community. May the Force be with you!
Comments: This is the same as the US figure, but with the added multi-language sticker on the back which, as it happens, is removable.

1995 Korean POTF2 Red Card Darth Vader with Lightsaber and Removable Cape
Posted by Brian in Power of the Force 2 on 2010/01/05
Description: It’s a bit difficult to categorize this one. It’s on a European card, with Korean POS stickers as well as a UK import sticker. But for the simple reason of the strikingly beautiful Korean language title sticker on the front we will call it Korean. These don’t come up often on ebay or other secondary markets, but it’s a great addition to any collection and a great talking piece.
