Darth Vader
Double-Telescoping Lightsaber · 1SW-12A
The Double-Telescoping Darth Vader represents a genuine early-production mechanical variant rather than a packaging-only change. The figure body remains the original Vader design, but the two-stage saber mechanism is materially different and was discontinued very early. This 1SW-12A page anchors the variant’s first documented U.S. package appearance.
