Thanks to Jimmy Yu who has posted a set of in-hand images of the TakaraTomy Star Wars Powered By Transformers Darth Vader TIE Advanced X1 to the HK-TF group along with some notes on the release. The images show the figure in his various modes along with the saber weapon and small rider-figures that come with it. Read on to see the images and Jimmy Yu translated comments on the set below.
The new design is the first of the SW x TF series, and Vader's exclusive Tie Fighter has become a warrior of the Black Knight. This time, the series was led by Takara. For the time being, there were news about the US version. The design has improved significantly compared to the previous series, and in particular, the degree of restoration of the vehicle is very high. The human form is active and the basic joints are complete. This time, another selling point is “Aberdeen,” which is close to the Diaclone personage. The Diaclone can be used as a driver at any time. The use of small creative ideas, ready-to-get-out bases, battle iron balls and other modes is indeed a relaxed sketch and worthy of recommendation. :)
