Fisher-Price debuts Imaginext Star Wars Darth Vader Bot

Mattel has detailed Fisher-Price’s Imaginext Star Wars Darth Vader Bot.
Standing over two feet tall, the Vader robot boasts features including an extendable Lightsaber accessory and a Force-inspired ball launcher.
The item also comes with a three-inch stormtrooper diecast toy key that when places in Vader’s shoulder, triggers lights and character sounds. It can also be used to open the bot’s torso to reveal a hidden disc launcher.
Fisher-Price’s Imaginext Star Wars Darth Vader Bot launches in June for $149.99.
