These are NOT your Star Wars figures from decades past. See what Final Fantasy publisher Square Enix has done to the classics!
Checkout the what the Japanese company is releasing as ‘Variant Playarts’ models; Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and the generic Imperial Stormtrooper!
All have been give the complete makeover by the company’s designers, and come complete with plastic plumes of fire, force energy, and jetpack propellant.
Take a look at these bad boys, each retails for about $108!
Darth Vader
Boba Fett
Stormtrooper
All the designs seem more lithe and action packed, and yet Vader’s seems the most unchanged. I suppose it has to do with the Asian design elements from the original 1970’s design in the first place.
I know what I’m asking Santa for this December!

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.
LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
