eBay Today: The Vac-Metal Darth Vader Case

Posted by D_Martin on January 13, 2012 at 12:47 PM CST

While developing the C-3PO Collectors Case for the Original Collection, Kenner designers experimented with vacuum metalled (AKA: Vac-Metal) finishes on Darth Vader cases. They used both full production cases as well as new castings utilizing different coloured plastics, all in the interest of producing a high-quality product. Once they started nailing it down, Kenner began shipping these prototypes around the country as a final test to see how well the finish would keep.

Do note, there are a number of fakes out there, so if you are interested in this piece, make sure to research it further.

	I'm undecided but interested in seeing it added to the Photo Archive.
	I'm more vexed at why toy collecting news is suddenly exclusive to USA Today instead of a site I go to for my Star Wars news...
