Still don't believe this doesn't have an exclusive. I mean... It's Vader. Where is his exclusive switch out hand, portrait, saber for belt, etc etc... Just don't understand why they didn't do one.

In regards to dimming, they could either go PWM or analog. PWM dimming switches the LED off and on at a high rate, which gives the effect of a dimmer light. The frequency just has to be higher than the human eye can detect or you get noticeable flicker.
Yes a good look at the Savage Opress cut section of the base shows they are capable of designing exactly how lightups appear.

A dimming option would be dynamite.

Thank you!



Just battery I'm told.

Yet another head scratching decision by Sideshow.

Probably since it was a later decision.

This not originally having lights is the real head scratcher.
