About Joe Fera
Expertise
I have been a huge fan since Star Wars first came out in 1977. Until recently, I was very much into the collecting aspect, owning many books, toys, videos, etc. While I don`t know everything, I do know quite a lot of info. My friends actually refuse to play Star Wars Trivial Persuit with me because it doesn`t take me very long to beat them!

Experience
I've read most of the books (but could never quite get into the prequel era books) and have over 10 years of collecting under my belt. If I can't find an answer for you, I can point you in the right direction.

Question
I have seen the 30th anniversary Darth Vader action figure which stands on Obi Wan's cloak; is this a copy of an original figure or a new addition? Thanks!

Answer
Hi Becky! Sorry it took me a while to answer this but I've been busy with a home remodel.

To answer your question, yes it is a repaint of another figure with the Obi-Wan cloak added to it. The original version was part a the "A New Hope Commemorative Tin Collection" set.

Here is a link to the new figure: http://www.rebelscum.com/TAC16vader.asp

And a link to the original: http://www.rebelscum.com/TACtinepisodeiIV.asp

If you ever have future questions about the toys, here are a couple of great places for info: http://www.rebelscum.com/archives.asp

Hope this helps! :-)
