The LEGO Group has officially unveiled the new LEGO Star Wars Up-Scaled Darth Vader Minifigure (75461), bringing one of the galaxy's most recognisable villains to life in an oversized display model. Designed to resemble a standard LEGO minifigure at roughly six times the normal scale, the set combines the familiar charm of LEGO styling with an imposing shelf presence worthy of the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Aimed at builders aged 10 and up, the set contains 1,028 pieces and stands over 28 cm (11 inches) tall once completed. The model carefully recreates Darth Vader's iconic silhouette, from the angular helmet to the flowing black cape, while keeping the proportions and playful appearance of a traditional LEGO minifigure intact.
Pricing and Availability
The LEGO Star Wars Up-Scaled Darth Vader Minifigure (75461) will launch on June 1, 2026, and is expected to retail for £89.99 in the UK through [LEGO UK](https://go.skimresources.com/?id=202183X1680904&xs=1&url=https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/up-scaled-darth-vader-minifigure-75461).
Given the popularity of both Darth Vader and large-scale LEGO display pieces, the set is likely to appeal to a wide audience, including younger Star Wars fans, collectors, and adult LEGO enthusiasts looking for a standout display item.
A Display Piece with Poseable Features
Unlike many static display models, the Up-Scaled Darth Vader Minifigure features several articulation points, allowing fans to adjust the pose for different display options. Builders can rotate the head, move the left arm and hand, and reposition both legs to create more dynamic stances.
The right arm can also be attached in one of two fixed positions, allowing Vader to hold his red Lightsaber™ at different angles. Combined with the fabric cape element, the figure captures the character's cinematic feel while still looking unmistakably LEGO.
The design follows the same concept previously seen in other up-scaled LEGO character models, but Darth Vader feels particularly suited to the format thanks to his bold armour design and instantly recognisable helmet.
