Darth Vader Rides the Lightning with New Star Wars TVC Release 

Hasbro attended MCM London this past weekend and unveiled a new assortment of collectibles including new Star Wars: The Vintage Collection 

Hasbro has unveiled a new selection of Star Wars: The Vintage Collection figures from around the galaxy. One of them takes your collection back to the events of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983) and showcases Darth Vader's redemption. After bringing Luke Skywalker before Emperor Palpatine on the Death Star, Vader watches as the Emperor lures Luke towards the dark side. However, when Luke refuses, Vader attacks him in anger, leading to an intense lightsaber battle between father and son. 

In the end, the good within Vader reawakens, and he chooses to save his son, embracing the Emperor's Wrath and tossing him to his supposed demise. Hasbro now captures this Force Lightning-filled moment with a new Darth Vader that crafts up a translucent helmet and gives him lighting accessories. He will also come with a swappable sliced-off hand, and his signature red lightsaber and just its hilt. The Emperor's Wrath TVC Darth Vader is set to arrive for pre-order today on Hasbro Pulse at 1 PM EST for $19.99 and a Q1 2026 release.
