Some of the most iconic characters in theStar Warsuniverse just got some of their best-looking figures yet. Theofficial Funko X (formerly Twitter) accounthas unveiled new Star Wars figures, which include a Darth Vader Funko in his castle on Mustafar onObi-Wan Kenobi, as well as Vader inside his signature TIE Fighter. Vader is also one of the three Dark Side users to receive a bronze Funko Pop! which is anAmazonExclusive. As for the other Dark Side users, Emperor Palpatine has also received several new figures, with one seemingly based on his appearance inthe originalStar Warstrilogyand another with his red Senator robes from the prequel trilogy.
However, the Master and Apprentice of the original trilogy aren’t the only Dark Side users to receive new Funko Pops! Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) is getting several new figures as well, with one being based onThe Rise of Skywalkerwhere he stands beside his grandfather, Darth Vader’s, helmet. Kylo Ren is also one of the three Dark Side users to get a bronze figure, which, unlike the Darth Vader Amazon Exclusive, this figure will be found only at Target. The last two Dark Side users to get new Funko Pops! are Darth Maul, who gets one new standard, one glow-in-the-dark, and another bronze figure, which is a Funko website exclusive. Count Dooku has also received a new figure.
Will These Dark Side Users Ever Appear in Star Wars Again?
Star Warshas been primarily focused on television for the last several years, but the franchise has still found space to deliver fans their favorite Dark Side Force users. Darth Vader most recently appeared inObi-Wan Kenobi, andHayden Christenseneven played a small role inAhsokaas Anakin Skywalker. Emperor Palpatine was featured inThe Bad BatchSeason 3, and Darth Maul played an integral role in the final few seasons ofStar Wars: The Clone Wars. Kylo Ren hasn’t been seen sinceThe Rise of Skywalkerand there is no official word of his return, but withStar Wars' history of returning to characters years after their “demise,” it’s impossible to say we won’t see him again.
The newStar WarsFunko Pops! are now available forpre-order, which can be found here. Check out the new figures above and watch Darth Vader’s most recent project,Obi-Wan Kenobi, now streaming onDisney+.
