SDCC 2019 Retro Collection Amazing Technicolor Vader

Um... did anyone ask for this?  Like, ever, in the history of fan polls or requests? 

[Rob]

WTF is that?

[Mister Skeezler]

It's a cheap shot at nostalgia prone fans. And it's cost to produce is super low.

Where’s the puking emoji?

[Jedi Idej]

For the acid heads in the audience?

[CorranHorn]

It looks worse in person. There is different versions too, all equally ugly.

I remember when Mattel did something similar in 2003 in the MOTU line. It failed miserably.

[Matt_Fury]

whelp, don't have to worry about getting this year's SDCC exclusive.

[Phrubruh]

My twelve year old said, "Why?"

[Darth_Anton]

All I can see is many, many variants. Enough to drive the hard core collectors insane.

And for a weird looking figure, we have a weird distribution plan - sold at EE's booth at SDCC and then on Target.com after the show. (To go along with the rest of the line being Target exclusive, I guess?)

Here's the press release info -

STAR WARS SPECIAL EDITION RETRO PROTOTYPE 3.75-INCH DARTH VADER Figure
(HASBRO/Ages 4 & up/Approx. Retail Price: $12.99/ Available at the Entertainment Earth Booth #2343 at Comic-Con International in San Diego)
Available at the Entertainment Earth Booth #2343 at San Diego Comic-Con and exclusively on Target.com in limited quantities following the convention.

I already was on the fence about the whole retro line, this just does not appeal to me.

If I can get one to have as a "sample", I'll keep it carded, keep it with the other eight which I only plan on getting one of each to keep carded and that will be it, but if I miss it, I will not be disappointed.

If they make it available online as a red card exclusive, like they did the Lego Bust, which was super easy to get, and I'll get 5% off when I buy one, sure.

Since they are selling them at the EE booth, I'm kinda surprised that they aren't letting EE sell some of them online as well.

[McMetal]

I initially thought this was a 6” figure. It actually has more appeal to me as part of the retro 3.75” line. I will probably pick one up.

[JediJman]

I really want this...

...to go away.

This reminds me of some awful Uzay bootleg from Turkey.   Its so awful I might have to get one just to show people how stupid it is.
