As a part of the Star Wars 30th anniversary celebration/otaku milking, a Darth Vader style daimyo samurai armor miniature (looks to be about 1/3rd life size) has been created. Limited to a 100 sets, it costs a mere 333,000 yen and comes with a Mustafar like background image. There is also a helmet only version at 180,000 yen for those with less coin.
