Released in 1996 alongside the novel, comics, video game, and soundtrack, Shadows of the Empire bridged the gap between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, introducing fans to the criminal underworld and the cunning Falleen Prince Xizor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis two-pack captures the deadly rivalry between Xizor, leader of the Black Sun crime syndicate, and the Dark Lord of the Sith himself. Prince Xizor is outfitted in his signature ornate armor with flowing ponytail, while Darth Vader comes equipped with his iconic cape and lightsaber. Both figures feature the classic Kenner articulation and sculpting that defined the Power of the Force era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Shadows of the Empire toy line remains a fascinating artifact of Star Wars Expanded Universe storytelling, when Lucasfilm coordinated a galaxy-spanning narrative across multiple media without a film release. For collectors who lived through the late-90s Star Wars renaissance or those discovering these characters through modern canon references, this set represents a unique chapter in the franchise's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example shows honest wear consistent with nearly three decades of existence. The blister shows scuffing and scratching, and the card exhibits edge and corner discoloration—all typical for carded figures from this era that weren't immediately sealed away. The set remains fully intact on card, preserving the original presentation and artwork that made these Kenner releases so collectible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kenner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53160013660476,"sku":"CC-KEN-SW-XVDV-SOTE-001-LU7S","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/2596\/8956\/files\/Prince_Xizor_vs._Darth_Vader_Figure_Set_KENNER_1.jpg?v=1782331322","url":"https:\/\/www.jaystoysandgames.com\/products\/star-wars-shadows-of-the-empire-prince-xizor-vs-darth-vader-action-figure-set-1996-kenner","provider":"Jay's Toys And Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
