When the Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ series arrived in 2022, Black Series collectors had good reason to pay attention: wave 02 brought a fresh Darth Vader release positioned directly within that streaming storyline — set years after Revenge of the Sith and squarely between the prequel and original trilogies. For Black Series completionists, this release represents a meaningful chapter in the line's ongoing evolution of the Vader sculpt, and it generated significant community discussion about how it compares to earlier versions released since the line launched in 2013.
This is a vintage, carded example presented in the signature black window box with clear front window, blue diagonal accent stripe on the sides, and the "STAR WARS: OBI-WAN KENOBI" designation in the lower blue band. The figure is displayed with his red lightsaber accessory alongside him in the tray. The back panel carries the character bio in five languages and stamps this as assortment number 02 — STAR WARS: OBI-WAN KENOBI, item no. F4359/E8908 ASST. © 2022 Hasbro.
This wave 02 release fits naturally alongside the Obi-Wan Kenobi and other characters from that assortment, making it a key anchor piece for any Black Series display focused on the Disney+ era of Star Wars storytelling. The 6-inch scale remains the premium standard for the line, and Vader is perennially one of its most sought-after subjects — this specific Obi-Wan Kenobi tie-in release stands apart from earlier waves and suits both display collectors and those building a complete series run.
