Even though Sebastian Shaw's scene in Return of the Jedi was only a few minutes long, his image has been re-created on dozens of action figures, toys, books, cards and other minutia.

Other Figures

The Anakin Skywalker Masterpiece Edition (1997) is a book by Steven Sansweet (and some other guys) detailing the history of Darth Vader. It comes packaged with a 12" Anakin figure dressed in standard Jedi attire. The figure's hand is molded to hold a lightsaber, but no accessories are included.

The resemblance to Shaw isn't perfect, but it's close enough.  Children seem to flock to it, and like to cuddle with their favorite Jedi.

The book is an interesting read about Darth Vader, but only two pages are devoted to Anakin as portrayed by Shaw.

Availability: This item was in the clearance section of major bookstores for a long time, and can be found now for around $20. But occasionally you'll find some jerk who wants to charge $75.

The Anakin Skywalker Rawcliffe Pewter Figurine (1997) was a freebie included with the Star Wars Monopoly CD-ROM game.    I wonder if it boosted the sales of the game. Stands about 3" tall.

The Electronic 14" Darth Vader (1998) featured real recordings of some of Darth's and Anakin lines from the movie, as well as a 2-part removable helmet. 

Availability: $20-40 Boxed.

The Star Wars Unleashed series (2002) were larger figures in static, but thrilling action poses.  The level of detail seemed to be a nod to the McFarlane figure lines.  Darth Vader was a great figure on his own.  But a variation of the figure was the short-packed Darth Vader Unmasked, which had a replaceable head.

This unmasked head has a much meaner expression than you've ever seen on Sebastian Shaw.  But they got the eyebrows in there!

Availability: $80-100

Is this a genuine Lego figure?  Apparently so, but I don't know what set it's from, or have any other details.

The figure to the right is almost certainly a well-done custom figure. Note that it doesn't have the Lego 'knob' on the top of his head.
