Return of the Jedi’s 40th anniversary is here, and with it, we’re seeing a massive resurgence in merchandise focused on the final episode of the Original Trilogy. The latest collectibles include a Deluxe Version of RotJ’s Darth Vader and C-3PO from Hot Toys!

The premium 1:6 scale figures come with features and accessories specific to their appearances in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. These extras include Salacious Crumb and a damaged eye socket for C-3PO.

Darth Vader, meanwhile, gets two alternate head sculpts. One of these is Sebastian Shaw’s Anakin Skywalker. Sadly, it’s based on the revised version of the movie, which removes his eyebrows. The other is translucent and is lit by a new LED feature, capturing Vader’s sacrifice at the end of Return of the Jedi.

The release dates for the two are different. Sideshow is listing April thru September 2024 for Golden Rod, while the Dark Lord of the Sith won’t arrive until sometime between July and December 2024.
