New Darth Vader helmet and Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber replicas are absurdly handsome
A new replica Darth Vader helmet and Obi-Wan Kenobi🔜 lightsaber from Hasbro are on the way, and we're filled with a mighty need

A new, life-size Darth Vader helmet and revised Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber replica have appeared on the not-so-distant horizon. Both recreate the props as seen in Obi-Wan's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus show starring Ewan McGregor, and they're ridiculously goﷺod-looking.
Unveiled during the Hasbro Pulse livestream for May 4, the reworked electronic Darth Vader helmet ( and ) has been given improved deco alongside removable elements that reveal a fully painted, screen-accurate interior. This is a ma𒁃jor upgrade from the previous version, which was able to come apart but la𒁃cked detail on the inside.
Because it's based on the version seen during the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Obi-Wan Kenobi series, Rogue One, and A New Hope, this piece of Star Wars merch also ⛎features the OG red lenses from 1977.
This upgraded Darth Vader helmet launches in early 2023, and although Zavvi notes its release date as February 28, the official states that it will be "available to ship🌳 on approx January 1st".
As for the Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber (which 𒅌you can pre-order now for in the US or ), it's a Force FX Elite replica tha🍌t can be displayed as a hilt or fitted with a light-up blade. The latter uses a slightly thicker emitter piece at the top that replaces the presumably-fragile screen-accurate version, while the blade itself features the usual sound effects alongside a new 'duel' clash mode where users press a button to activate sustained contact for when two sabers are held together in a bind.
This is the first Obi-Wan Kenobi Force FX lightsaber we've seen in quite some 💞time (the original is long since out of stock), and the new version should hit shelves sometime in early 2023. Zavvi estimates its release date to be January 23, while Hasbro is sticking to a January 1 launch via its .
There were plenty of other announcements for Hasbro's May 4 celebration, and these all involved 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars action figures. Notable additions include Black Series members from A New Hope's cantina band and Ewok Village Leia (). The Vintage Series has been boosted as well with a box of Phase 1 Clone Troopers (), Anakin from Attack of the Clones (), and enemies inspired by Jedi: Fallen Order and The Force Unleas♏hed video games.
