Launched in 2013 as Hasbro's flagship 6-inch Star Wars collector line, the Black Series has revisited Darth Vader more than any other character — and the 2016 #43 standard release is the benchmark against which later sculpts and articulation improvements are frequently measured by the community. For collectors building a chronological record of the line, this numbered window-box entry is an essential reference point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example is a vintage original 2016 release, presented in its distinctive black window-box packaging. The box is complete with the large red series number \"43\" prominently displayed on the rear panel alongside a multilingual character bio in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese — characteristic of Hasbro's international distribution run. Item number C1367\/B3834 ASST is printed on-box. The figure includes its red lightsaber hilt and blade accessory, and the packaging retains the original Disney and Lucasfilm copyright markings. Box condition shows light shelf wear consistent with vintage storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin the broader Black Series Darth Vader lineage, the #43 release sits as a clean, standard-retail edition unencumbered by exclusive or deluxe designations, making it a grounding piece for any comprehensive collection. Collectors focused on the evolution of the Black Series 6-inch format — from early articulation approaches through later premium sculpt upgrades — will find this numbered release an important display and reference piece. It appeals equally to those assembling a complete run of Black Series numbered figures and to fans seeking a vintage-era Vader for a classic display.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hasbro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67607705583932,"sku":"CC-HAS-SW-DV-BLK-UABF","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/2596\/8956\/files\/image_001_50530b63-6dce-4e35-82a1-d2e342168ca8.jpg?v=1790801896","url":"https:\/\/www.jaystoysandgames.com\/products\/star-wars-the-black-series-darth-vader-action-figure-43-2016-hasbro","provider":"Jay's Toys And Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
