Description

Star Wars ROTJ Darth Vader 65-Back A AFA 80 (Kenner, 1983). By 1983, Darth Vader's legacy was fully cemented as cinema's most iconic villain, and Kenner's Return of the Jedi 65-Back release brought the Dark Lord to a new generation of collectors and fans. Maintaining the timeless sculpt first introduced in 1978, this version stood as a continuation of the figure that defined the entire Star Wars line - black cape flowing, red lightsaber extended, and every bit as commanding as his on-screen counterpart. The 65-Back card, featuring ROTJ branding, marked a pivotal transition point in Kenner's production, bridging the saga's early roots with its climactic finale. Graded AFA NM 80, with subgrades of C80 B85 F75, this example displays solid overall condition with particularly strong card and figure quality. A cornerstone of any vintage Star Wars collection, this Return of the Jedi Darth Vader remains a symbol of Kenner's enduring legacy and the cinematic power of the character himself - imposing, elegant, and eternally collectible.
