Still no proper, ordinary Darth Vader figure, but I do have this kickass GH version. Surely the biggest Galactic Hero of them all, even bigger than the wookie. Plus his mask comes off to reveal his molten scarred face. There was another version that had red eyes and no removable helmet but I chose this one.
I read about Whitey here on one of the collector sites so I knew he existed but the comic-pack he came in was released before I was a collector so I didn't think I would ever get my hands on one. Luckily a Snowtrooper sold me one for five bucks. I don't have the comic it came with so the context isn't there. From what I recall, it was a what-if story where Leia turned Vader back to good without him having to die so he changed his armour to white and was a Jedi again. But then why is his lightsaber red? So basically I got it for the bizarre-factor. You have to admit he's funny! Funny in a good way- fun. Fun is fun! They should make some white royal guards for him to march with. Oddly, the only other Vader I currently have is McQuarrie Vader. Maybe I should get a regular Vader one of these days- there's no shortage of them. Another scenario where this guy would work is Vader enters a tree like the one on Dagobah only this one is a locus of good Force energy and he faces his mirror-self . . . . . never mind.
