Star Wars: The Complete Vader Book Features Micro Machines Artwork December 13, 2011

After a long delay due to manufacturing issues, Star Wars: The Complete Vader is finally upon us, and what a treasure it is.

The Complete Vader is a comprehensive, detailed, and above-all massively entertaining book all about the premiere Dark Lord of the Sith. Written by Ryder Windham, longtime friend of this site, and Pete Vilmur, this book covers everything Vader. You’ll learn all about the history of the greatest film villain ever, from his genesis, to his cultural impact, to the wealth of Vader collectibles which have captured his dark visage.

This hardcover book features numerous gatefolds and removable paper pieces, much like the Star Wars Vault, by Steve Sansweet and Pete Vilmur, making it a collectible in its own right. This is absolutely a must-have book for any Star Wars fan, but particularly for you Galoob collectors out there. Several Micro Machines and Action Fleet toys are mentioned and pictured, but perhaps most significantly, the book features a lovely reproduction of Ralph McQuarrie’s artwork for the Action Fleet Death Star playset. Aside from a rare art print sold only at a few conventions, this is the only way to obtain this artwork without the packaging graphics.

Here’s hoping The Complete Vader finds its way into your stocking this holiday season!
