Summary

• LEGO is continuing to expand its brand-new Star Wars Bust Collection with a highly detailed, buildable display model of Darth Vader
• The 349-piece set features an authentic recreation of the iconic helmet, a rotating head and base, a printed nameplate, and a matching Darth Vader minifigure
• Serving as the perfect desk accessory for adult collectors, the $49.99 USD set launches globally on April 26

The Dark Side of the Force is officially joining LEGO‘s latest lineup. Following the reveal of the Master Yoda bust, the Danish toy giant has unveiled the next highly anticipated entry in its brand-new Star Wars Bust Collection: Darth Vader. Arriving just in time for the annual May the 4th celebrations, the compact display model offers adult fans a fresh, space-conscious way to pay homage to cinema’s most notorious villain.

Targeting adult builders and serious collectors, the 349-piece set faithfully recreates the menacing presence of Darth Vader’s iconic helmet and upper body armor as seen throughout the classic Star Wars trilogy. Utilizing clever construction techniques and sleek black bricks, the build seamlessly smooths out the traditional stud-heavy aesthetic, resulting in a highly refined, mature display piece that captures the intimidating aura of the Empire.

Much like its Yoda counterpart, the Darth Vader Bust is designed with dynamic display in mind. Builders can manually rotate the Sith Lord’s head left and right, while the entire bust can be turned 360 degrees on its buildable stand to view the intricate sculpting from any angle.

Standing approximately 7 inches tall once fully assembled, the highly detailed model is perfectly scaled for a desk or shelf. Elevating the premium feel of the new collection, the base is completed with a printed nameplate and features a customizable space to display the included Darth Vader LEGO minifigure, cementing this as a must-have for the Star Wars faithful.

The LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Bust (Set 75439) is scheduled to release globally on April 26 via LEGO stores and online.
