An iconic classic and must-have for every vintage toy collector: 1978 first-release Darth Vader.  Imposing, menacing, and forever collectible.  Our 12 Back-A example doesn’t disappoint.  This one exhibits a nice, clean unpunched card.  The bubble, showcasing a beautiful figure, is clear and free of dents, fracturing, and lifting.  Vader is one on everyone’s wish list, and to acquire his early carded release would be quite the addition to one’s display case.
