Darth Vader Signs at B-Dalton

July 27, 2008 By Mantooth In Uncategorized 2 Comments

Jason sent in these awesome additions to the Superhero Mall Appearance Gallery. This was at the B Dalton’s in the Maplewood Mall, in St. Paul, MN, November of 1977. This is pretty early for a Star Wars appearance.

I love the Sign in the background and look at the crowd!

Jason proudly displays his signed Star Wars calendar and mentions he bragged to his friends that he shook Vader’s hand and how strong his grip was. You may recognize Jason’s company Bif Bang Pow! nowadays, they make some of the coolest collector toys out there, including one license I’ve been waiting 27 years for, Flash Gordon. If you’re at San Diego Comic Con this weekend, you might want to check out this incredible Exclusive Flash Gordon Figure.

Brian WANT! Anyway, got a mall appearance shot you’d like to share? Send it in and I’ll send you a set of Plaidstallions trading cards.
