Abell Octovan, commonly referred to simply as Abell, has made quite the name for himself by revealing what Dath Vader does in his spare time. The first incarnation, "Lord on Board," showed the masses that the dark lord himself — when not chasing rebel scum — enjoyed a bit of skateboarding. And while hobbies are important, so are vacations… thus Abell crafted the "Lord on Vacation" figure, showing that Anakin could soak up some rays and tear up some waves with the best of them.

This super smooth sculpt of Vader has him wearing an aloha shirt and bermuda shorts, with the wonderful gold touches on his sandals, surfboard and helmet simply making the entire figure stand out all the more. Abell has announced that this black & gold colorway is an 8" custom resin figure produced in an extremely limited number, but he has not stated how few will be made (based on his previous releases, we assume under 10 copies). The price is $180 with shipping anywhere in the world included; interested parties should contact the artist through his Twitter or Facebook accounts or directly at: jellyokky [at] yahoo [dot] com.
