Lego Launches Star Wars Bust Line With Darth Vader and Yoda for April 26 Release

Early reactions highlight a strong Vader likeness with concern over Yoda’s eyes.

Overview

  • Lego unveiled a new Star Wars collectible-bust subline on Monday, introducing Darth Vader and Yoda with a confirmed April 26 release.
  • The sets cost $50 for Vader and $40 for Yoda, with 349 and 399 pieces respectively and heights of over 7 inches for Vader and about 8 inches for Yoda.
  • Both builds target adult collectors with an 18+ label and include a matching minifigure, a display base with a nameplate, a printed booklet, and optional 3D instructions in the Lego Builder app.
  • Coverage praises the compact Vader bust for its faithful helmet shape, while multiple outlets fault Yoda’s small, inset eyes for an unsettling look.
  • The launch extends Lego’s push into display-first models that followed its Star Wars helmet range and Marvel busts, with an unusual date set just ahead of the May 4 fan promotions.
