# Sci-Fi Villains at Play 'Lord on Vacation' is a Figurine of Darth Vader on his Downtime By Armida Ascano | Published 2010-12-27 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lord-on-vacation References: [violencevisual](http://www.violencevisual.com/2010/12/lord-on-vacation.html) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/sunburn) 'Lord on Vacation' is a reminder that even the most evil of intergalactic tyrants needs some downtime. This [funny figurine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/berbrick-vecna) features [Darth Vader](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-tamagotchi) himself on vacation, presumably livin' it up surfing on the beach. This killer creation is the product of a collaboration between Abell Octovan and Surya Sunburn. Only eight of the 'Lord on Vacation' pieces were made, so I suggest ordering yours before Darth decides to end his vacay. **Implications** - Consumers with strong preferences for a particular [pop culture personality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/san-diego-comiccon) will relish in products infused with similar qualities.
