It is fun, but it is parts formery. A few things could have improved this one a lot.

1) An ankle tilt
2) A place to store the 3 lightsabers
3) A place to store the 2 guns
4) A handle for the shield so he could hold it in his fist instead of snapping it on his forearm
5) A better forearm snap system. Both the double cannon and the shield divide into 2 parts that snap around the peg on the forearm, so it is very easy to knock them off.
6) The Giant horns could have snapped onto the back to make a faux cape. I might mod mine to do this.

I like the look of both ships, and both bots. The transformation between anakin and vader is simple, but cool, as most of it is automated.

I think the ship modes could use some sort of paint wash to bring out the detail more, so that the ships don't look brand spanking new.

It is cool how many sounds this thing makes.

I'll be messing around with this with my daughter quite a bit.

I tried turning that top part down to make a cape, but it means you have to unfold that cover on the back and it makes the figure even more back-heavy...

Anyways, thinking of getting it and the Republic Attack Cruiser.

Saw this at Square One Wal-Mart this morning. I was kind of underwhelmed, though I would have liked to see the Star Destroyer in all its glory.

@Pascal... Thanks for the pics...
Looks like a big backpack in bot mode... is the bot voyager size?

[racerguy76]

He's at least leader size I would guess.

[Pascal]

10,25'' tall to the top of head and 16,5'' tall to the tip of the wings in Vader mode...

[malteselegacy]

Is this figure just a Wal Mart exclusive? Has it been seen at TRU?

[Pascal]

I don't think it is, it's just that it surfaced first at WM. Other stores will probably follow soon.
