REVIEW: HASBRO’S HYPERREAL DARTH VADER
With Hasbro PulseCon 2020 happening later this week, we thought we’d revisit some older Hasbro figure.
A year ago, Hasbro released a new line of Star Wars figures called 'HYPERREAL', with the first offering being Darth Vader. There has since been a Bespin Luke Skywalker released to go with it, and recreate the battle from Empire Strikes Back.
The scale is bigger than 1:12th but smaller than 1:6th, it's right in between (so 1:9th?), around 8"/24cm. Price tag was 79$, but he can probably be found for cheaper nowadays.
The particularity of that figure is that there is a metallic skeleton inside, and it's covered with this kind of rubber around it to avoid having visible joints, as you can see on the pics.

The quality is surprisingly good for Hasbro (even if I'm not sure about the long term, the rubber might deteriorate fast, but we'll see. We’ve had this one for a year, and it still looks great) and the figure is extremely posable. And now, some poses!
The classic “Join me and together we will rule the galaxy” pose.
The “Holding an invisible apple” pose.
The “Sith warrior”.
The “Look, guys! My hand just exploded!”.
The “Disco Lord”
The “Throw your hands in the air, and wave them around like you just don’t care”
The “I don’t know what I am doing, please send help”.
And finally, the all-time fan favorite: The “NoooOOoOOOoOOOO”.
Bonus: Another angle of the “NoooOOoOOOoOOOO”.
It is a great figure that will compliment any Star Wars collection, even if the choice of starting another completely different scale was a bit weird. It seems that they are slowly giving up on it, though, with only 2 figures released in a year, but we will see at Hasbro PulseCon later this week (Sept 25th and 26th) what the future holds for that line.
More news at 11:00… NoooOOoOOOoOOOO!
