Not in my house. Oversized, overpriced and looks like a bad. For its price you can get a decent Vader which you can upgrade to a close to perfection one.

I agree the price is pretty bad, but if you are the ultimate Kenner fan then I can see why it would be worth your while.

IMO even as a uber-hardcore Kenner fan one should think twice if getting this or something else. The detailes on these are cool on 3", a bit too stretched on 1:6 Jumbos and on 1:1 will look ugly.

Serg, I wouldn't begin to tell a true Kenner Vintage Fan what it looked like. It looks spot on to me to the old Darth Vader pop up saber. And I do like the Jumbos. I feel just like I did when the pegs were full of that stuff as a kid. The nostalgia factor is off the charts.

I think for me everything has to be in the right scale to be worth something. Or as they say: beauty is in the eye of the beholder  :)
