Bespin Darth Vader News

**Beast** · 02-09-2002

Greetings,
Over at Rebelscum they have a link to a german star wars website with a picture of the upcoming Darth Vader: Bespin. Looks like they decided to pack in some accessories with the classic figures as well. Hopefully the Luke Skywalker:Bespin will include the part that luke stands on and they will connect. Neat classic figure. Nice to see that like was rumored, AOTC's figures arn't the only thing we'll see after April 23rd.

The news from the German site Translated:

Ingeniously new Darth Vader figure [ AOTC packing ]
After most of you see only AOTC figures, here once a picture of an ingenious new publication of the Classic series. It will give a Darth Vader Bespin figure, which is to be contained also in base figures the assortment to 2002 in April. This figure appeared to GEMEINSAM in the famous ' I AM YOUR FATHER..........' As accessories will be attached to the figure of sections of the railing of the cloud city.

Looks a little bare, but still rather cool looking, not much you can with Vader now I guess.

The railings accessories are pretty cool, I just hope he doesn't have lightsaber chop action.

Welp, I have ET turned on and they showed the Toy Fair clip, The Vader is at Toy Fair. I should've taped the clip.

But from what I could make out it's the Vader figure alright. There was also some weird figure, it looked E2 and it looked like it was deluxe but it was a window box, but a carded version. Maybe it was a vehicle. *shrugs* Interesing SW display they have there to say the least.

I still think it's not fair the little pepsi girl got to go there. She even got to play with the stuff!

The R2 unit there was an intereactive R2 unit, RS is listing it at $100 (not sure if SSG listed it, I don't check the main page) but it looks like the same size of the Mindstorm LEGO R2, which isn't very big...

Vader looks good, if they released a battle-damaged Bespin Luke with the thing he stands on, I'd snap them both up.

I won't buy the Bespin Darth Vader unless I get a new Bespin Luke:happy:

WoW! Another Darth Vader, we just got the 25th anniversary Vader. Enough already, make characters that have never been in plastic before. There is a entire list of characters I would buy, but not another resculpt.

**Lord Tenebrous** · 02-09-2002

All these last Vaders, except the 25th, have been new. This is much better than the blaster-deflect accessory. We know there's a new Bespin Luke sculpt, and the two together, with this mini-scene, will look great.

Any great new figures/sculpts from the cantina or from TESB are definately desired.

Don't worry, they showed the Luke:Bespin (Battle Damage) at the german toy fair as well, but they didnt get any pictures of it. I expect both of them to street at the same time. I think they will be on display at the New York Toy Fair also. So have no fear, Hasbro won't disapoint in this case.
