 Hey everybody welcome back to my Star Wars channel my name is David and today we're gonna look at the 40th anniversary display stand. We would be honored if you would join us. All right this is the Disney Star Wars 40th anniversary black series display stand. That's a mouthful. I found this on Amazon it's 35 bucks. 35 dollars and I had it on my wish list actually for a really long time and I remember putting it on my wish list and I remember thinking what I was going to do with it but then when I came to me in the mail I was a little taken back and I was a little surprised and so I just want to kind of clear up anything about this so that you you are completely aware in case you are thinking about getting this or if you didn't even know this was out there because this is out there this is still out there this is a figure display stand. Now I couldn't really see the full dimensions and how big it was and you know all that from just a picture on the internet. If you read the the title description it says that it comes with a six inch Darth Vader right six inch Darth Vader. He's made to look exactly like the a new hope Darth Vader that's in the film okay and it even has cloth capes okay so it's a really really nice figure and it comes with this little display stand too but when you actually have it in hand and you look at the back it shows all of the six inch figures on the back in the display stand and when I got this I was like yay but then when I turned it around I was like oh I don't I don't collect the six inch figures like I don't have any of these figures so if I keep this display stand does that mean I have to go out and find all of these figures to make it happen because I thought in my memory that I had put this on my list because it was a replica it was a recreation of the first promissory stand that came out at Christmas time so I'm sure you know that back in 1977 the Kenner figures weren't quite ready for Christmas and so to get something out there on the market to create hype they released the early bird certificate and so it was a display stand that looked like that well I had all the figures on one side and you flip it around had the x-wing going against the the best on the other side and it was completely blank it was completely empty there was no figures inside they were selling just the display stand for the figures that were coming okay it was the early bird certificate 1977 Christmas and that now is a hot commodity and it I am never going to get an original display stand that's probably not going to be one of the things I ever pursue or try to find okay so this in my head I thought this is going to be the next best thing because it's a it's a new recreation of it I can still put my vintage figures on it and then when I saw the six inch figures on here I thought oh no I got the wrong one but that's just the box okay you can put the six inch figures on here but the good news is of course you can put the vintage ones on here as well and that's what I did I want to show you my original 12 figures now the original 12 figures in the early bird stand they had a specific place where they could go because there was labels down at the bottom that said this is where so-and-so stands and so-and-so so you'd know how to collect them all so really when you see the display stands displayed the figures are always in the same spot because they line up with the names underneath you can't exactly do that same order with this stand the early bird stand had three groups of four so at four eight and twelve like that and you kind of group them these little four vignettes this new display stand the base is different and all the figures are grouped in threes so you can still kind of put it together in the right order and I've done my best but this one has three six nine twelve so it's a different setup you can get it to look as close as you can but it won't look exactly like the display stand from 1977 and of course the names at the bottom are not there either but I love the little arm bar at the top I love the little plaque at the top that says star wars I love the fact that all my figures fit on little peg hooks so it makes a great way to display your vintage figures so if you haven't got a way yet to display your first 12 figures and you want to put them in like a nicer cooler looking display stand I would highly recommend this uh like I said it's 35 bucks amazon it's the disney's star wars black series 40th anniversary display stand and it comes with a six inch uh Darth Vader which I'm going to leave in the box I'm going to leave my guy in the box and I'm going to display the box like this and then display my display stand uh someplace else so I was really happy to pick this up and add this to my collection you could too thanks for watching my channel guys be sure to like this channel and subscribe remember I'm a star wars collector I'm a star wars collector and so this channel is all about collecting star wars anything that has star wars on it I review books vintage toys new stuff that's just come out stuff that's happening at the parks I love star wars I love it all I'm not a hater on on anything um this this is my hobby and so this is what I love to do and if you love star wars as much as me thanks for watching and may the force be with you I'll see you guys next time bye
