This Darth Vader Plush is supposed to look soft and cuddly. I will give it the soft part, but it looks a bit more like a giant insect than a cuddly version of Vader. Still, it is a much less threatening version than an actual Vader look-alike and also features familiar dark side phrases when pressed. Ideal for anyone who loves the movies but who is scared to death of the actual antagonists.

It may seem counter-intuitive that one of the most destructive forces of all times is now supposed to help you keep your desk tidy. I think it shows that Darth Vader is not quite the one dimensional person we all thought he was. Everyone around you will know when you remove something from his helmet as he lets out his unmistakable breathing sound.
