Mattel Wheels Hologram Darth Vader 12 Plush 2022 SDCC Exclusive

Limited-edition SDCC collectible

The Mattel Creations Hologram Darth Vader plush stands 12 inches tall and wears a holographic blue colourway that mimics the Star Wars transmission aesthetic. Produced exclusively for the 2022 San Diego Comic-Con, it was never sold through standard retail channels. The figure uses soft plush fabric with internal battery-operated components and arrives in its original retail box in new condition. Recommended for ages 14 and up, it targets collectors building a focused Darth Vader variant or SDCC exclusive collection.

Battery operation and display care

Battery-powered features are integrated into the plush, though fresh cells may be required given the time since original production. No active cooling or mains power is involved, so the piece runs silently and draws negligible energy while displayed. The soft fabric construction means the item is intended for static shelf display rather than active play. Keeping the figure in its sealed box preserves the new condition for long-term preservation.

Upgrade path for variant collectors

This piece replaces a standard retail Darth Vader plush in a curated variant lineup, adding the convention-exclusive holographic finish and limited availability. The jump is worth it when the collection goal is a complete set of SDCC exclusives or specific character variants rather than a general character representation. Buyers who need a mass-market toy for a child or who want a widely available figure will not find that utility here. SKU MATHLP40 and UPC 194735117215 identify this specific release.
