S.H. Figuarts Anakin Skywalker Star Wars EPIII: Revenge of the Sith Bandai Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Anakin Skywalker. I really think Bandai saved the best version for last. Well, until they end up doing an S.H. Figuarts Phantom Menace little Ani. That would probably be last, but this will still probably be best. Sure, some things to gripe about but the overall presentation in phenomenal. Great job, Tamashii Nations!

-It's over Anakin! I have your figure
-You underestimate the Hasbro!
-Don't try it.

@@lonewolfmcquade8879 Do you have a source for Grievous?
@@lonewolfmcquade8879 Ah okay thanks, I just seen some info on it and its supposedly not an exclusive and it will cost 29.99
@@lonewolfmcquade8879 Yeah I want one too, been on my black series wishlist since the beginning, I hope they do him right though, with a cloth cape and 4 lightsabers
@@lonewolfmcquade8879 Yeah I'm really looking forward to see him, and hopefully we see some more of the other characters you have listed.
Lonewolf McQuade If you like Grievous then get the Bandai model kit. Nothing is going to match it in accuracy and it’s lightness allows the figure to actually stand unlike almost any other Grievous fig.
It’s a really easy to build if you take your time and read the instructions and it’s very sturdy if you use model glue to attach every non joint piece. It took me seven hours. I just plopped on the couch and put on three films as I worked and nothing matches the satisfaction once you finish.
I love Grievous and while I do plan to get the black series and SH figuarts figures of him I don’t think either will stand without support.
I think I might have to buy this one.
I love Anakin and his story arch. I don't care what anyone says about him
Vapid Toast I dint get why people hate anakin and hayden
Me too
They hate him because they say he’s really whiny but I think he is the best actor that could’ve played Anakin
Bres82 • because Hayden had shit acting, but some of the dialogue he was given was also shit
Hayden Anakin fan.
That trigger hand looks to be a 'choking Padme' hand
Valkyrie Exo *choking
Oooooo I didn't think of that!
The Fwoosh *You've turned her against me!!*

The two regular heads look anime-ish. But dang them Sith eyes are *amazing* . Wish it came with the big robe, but then again looking at Old Ben... maybe third party robes would be the way to go if you really wanted that look.
Love the way the body looks here, maybe a smidge short, but I love the texture. It’s just enough to make it look more detailed and give it a sense of realism without overdoing it, which the Hasbro BS one kinda does a bit
Yeah i was kinda confused as to why no robe…?
This is by far the best Episode III Anakin Skywalker figure they have made (aside from Hot Toys) to date and they have been making Episode III Anakin Skywalker figures for a LONG time. At last we have the figure that we deserve. Let's see if Mafex will give us one that can top this one. Good review brotha!
I love me some MAFEX but I don't think they can top this one. I wish they would put out ANY Star Wars figures though. Thanks man!
Doesn’t really even look like Hayden.
@@jjbjjv8288The regular heads might not, but that sith head definitely does
@@jjbjjv8288it looks just like him what are you talking about…?
While I will not be getting this figure, I still had to give your props on the great review. You da man Robo!!!!
Thanks man!
Just got this guy on the recent rerelease and man, what a phenomenal Anakin. Gotta say, the faces are a bit odd but at a normal distance, not super zoomed in like promo pics or holding it to your face, the likeness is so much better.
Those sith eyes sold it for me
3:47 Robo no homo??
Lmao I swear that part made me laugh harder than I should've
As many other folk have said, I feel the sith eyes were printed onto the wrong face and they just ran with it. The "normal" head seems angrier than it should be and vice versa.
I’m very disappointed in the head sculpts. However with a good cloak, the Sith eyes will look great.
Very true, shf live action faces always look off
My most anticipated figure! Thank you so much for the review!
My Anakin is absolutely flawless. In my opinion this surpasses my all time favorite sh figuarts star Wars figures, R2 and 3PO. This is a damn, damn nice figure. Bring on Dooku and Obi Wan!!!!!!
what you should have done during your anakin and gus bit is when gus said that about the lava planet thing,have anakin yelling but also using the force push on gus to throw him across the way. it would have been hilarious. lol.
You got me at your pacman impersonation with anakin screaming head, LOLS!!
Haha, that actually kind of surprised me when it came out of my mouth. Been a long time since Pacman...
and where is the comparison with captain rex?
A custom robe on the sith eyes one would just scream Mustafar scene/Order 66 in front of your trooper display :D a second one/custom head could be painted with the regular eyes on the calm sith head and then idk the body can be custom charred anakin xD
Looks great was hoping you would've posted him with the Darth Vader lightsaber with the sith eyes face
David Marrero and the cloak
Christ that was quick.
DHL has been insanely quick, and when they showed up this morning I couldn't help myself, haha.
Oh I hear ya. I somehow forgot that I had to pay for mine and it sat for a day or 2. Definitely firing up the camera the second he gets delivered though. That Sith eyes head looks amazing.
Can't wait for mine! The screaming face looks way better than it did in the promotional pics. Excited!
4:41 haha if you ever get this figure, you’ll notice the butterfly joints are really stuck there, like it almost seems glued. you should get a small prying tool and you’ll definitely notice his arms are much better out once you pry them open :) yeah the shoulder pads can really be in the way though if you try it
Hilarious interaction with Gus😂😂😂😂🤣✨✨🙌🏽
@5:19 Sith Vision! :-) Agree skin tone, material textures, details overall are amazing as usual *but* his angry face looks worse than exaggerated in that his face looks all pinched in, almost like a Buffy Vampire going into vamp game face. Yelling face also looks...odd, I dunno they just look wrong. Sith eyes is easily the best and awesome!!! Again Figuarts just rocks (please Figuarts make an IG-88!). Hasbros figures are always so shiny and cheap looking as they would be for the price difference tho often rare figures early top Figuarts prices, but can Hasbro really not try matte paints or something? Anakins clothes look like mini cloth clothes but Hssbro just looks like shiny cheap plastic. anyway great review of another great Figuarts figure!!!
I doubt I ever display this figure without the sith eyes. Time to order a robe for this figure as I wait for BBTS to ship him out.
Yup, I'm heading to eBay myself to grab a robe.
Kinda bugs me that they couldn’t just do what the did with the ANH Luke where the blade could be removed from the hilt.
The trigger finger hand is also used as the Force Choke hand.
Ack, I didn't even think of that!
any chance you could compare him to black series rex? id like to see how he scales with him
we need to see those famous shelves of yours in-depth
Someday. I'm out of room, in dire need of adding some shelves.
Just a terrific looking fig. pretty much all around. Face likeness is HQ. Kudos to SHFA for the final product on this one. Unfortunately cancelled my preorder as was on the fence & the Ep. III Obi Wan didn't look like anything too special to me. Oh well. Thanks for the detail review.
I wish they had a 4th faceplate with just a calm more Jedi Anakin.
This figure looks awesome I can’t wait until I get mine in a couple weeks
Been waiting for this review to drop, mine is on its way and i cant wait to get it. this would be perfect if it only had the robe he wore in the third act, gonna have to buy one i guess.
They should have made that screaming face with the sith eyes too.
When they solicited the figure i thought 2 of the sculpts were poor with the one actually being hilarious - and i didn't expect them to make major changes. They never do. So, i mainly bought this for the Sith eyes look and it appears it turned good so i'm happy.
Surprised you didn't throw a robe on him in that look tbh..
I only have the one that I gave to old Ben, but I'm hitting eBay right now to find one.
@@TheFwoosh Hello, is the figure’s face easily breakable or durable? Will his face or other take-offable parts fall off easily. Finally does his lightsaber easily snap?
Also from my wishlist..i need led based sabers now :D
Most impressive. I managed to place an order for Obi-Wan this morning, but I'm not sure if Dooku's going to be worth the online import fee. Now that Hasbro's using face printing tech and are going to focus on more prequel characters due to both TPM's 20th anniversary and the return of the Clone Wars, I think I'll wait to see what they can do. Unless Bandai pulls a Qui-Gon again and the finished product looks better than the prototype...
I'd better start saving up.
Yeah, I've seen some reasons I don't want to order the Dooku but I know myself better than that, it's getting pre-ordered as soon as it does up, hah.
The worst part was, I never got the BS Qui-Gon either
Lonewolf McQuade Dooku will probably be next month.
Episode 3 Obi-Wan Pre-order is here
www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/26304-shfiguarts-obi-wan-kenobi-revenge-of-the-sith.html
Can’t wait for mine to ship! Thanx Robo!
his head just seems, wide somehow. it matches to his body, but it’s like his face doesn’t fit his head. from promo to in-hand, same issue with their han.
I hoped that we would get this figure for a long time and thought it would be awesome, which it is. But thos head sculpts are almost a deal breaker I think. I'm not sure now. Wish you did a comparison with a rickhor robe. Awesome review though man
I need to get another rickhor robe for this one, to go with the Sith eyes. Dang it, to eBay!
Great review. I put in my preorder for the Episode 3 Obi Wan. Can’t wait to get these two together.
Lol that Gus skit😂🤣
Gus was just trying to make conversation, mean ol' Anakin!
The Fwoosh HOLY COW YOU REPLIED THANKS!!!😆And Lol😂😂😂🤣Keep up the good work!👏🏻🎉👍🏻😉
good anakin with sith eyes . it look fantasic with a robe on two .
Great review, Robo!!! My girlfriend and I went in halfsies on this one and I am super grateful because I’ve been excited about this one since they announced it. What do you think about the ROTS Obi Wan face sculpt from Figurarts?
I feel Obi-wan is like this one, a little bit exaggerated and a tiny cartoony, but still looks good. NEED
I hate it when they don’t make the blade removable. The removable blade worked perfectly on maul, but on my episode 1 Obi wan, his blade broke off the hilt on the blue lightsaber, which is really unfortunate.
Sith eyes does it for me too, based on what we've seen there. And how odd that the other faces are so anime looking. I may give them a repaint and see if I can improve them.
Also, how quickly did you get yours! I only got my shipping notice a couple of days ago!
DHL has been insane with the shipping, and even though they usually wait until the end of the day because of how backwoods I am, they showed up before noon on Anakin day. Made me so happy I had to jump into a review.
If Anakin isn't burnt alive, he should have master force light like the game mods of him in force unleash. Looking for materials to make lighting accessory
awesome. I'd love to see a palpatine, a re-release of qui gonn that I can afford, yoda, etc. The good news is that these are all selling well. With the lack of a movie coming out this year, I bet Bandai focuses on these movies more. Not the greatest movies but at least the lightsaber fights were all fun.
I wish there was another way to make the lightsaber go on the belt for the people who like to have him displayed with the lightsaber hilt itself.
Im SOOOOO excited for that EP3 Obi!!
Hell yeah, this just makes me want that even more!
The Fwoosh SAME!!
My Anakin is Phantom Menace Anakin!! When do we get a Figuarts Menace Anakin?
Just kidding. This is also my Anakin (character wise, Clone Wars tv, but not for a figure). The only one I'm bothering with. Really looking forward to Dooku. Now I really need a general grievous. Thanks for the review.
Hah, you say that, but I'd pre-order an EPI Anakin just as quick. It's a sickness...
You are most likely correct. I had told myself I didn't need a Episode III Obi-wan, but as soon as he went up for pre-order I signed, and am trying to find where to get the Dooku when he goes up. Damn, I'd most likely buy a Jar Jar.
I’m going to save to buy it
Only cost £66.99
I always wanted an Anakin Black Series figure and you can never find one for under 70 bucks just like the Darth Maul hopefully they'll do re-release cuz I don't think I can afford this I really want it but
Hehe I just noticed the off center right pupil on the sith eyes. It's bugging my OCD lol
SHUT UP! Haha, I didn't even notice it until I was editing the video, hardly noticeable in person because of the size but now that I've seen it....
@@TheFwoosh just a bit of yellow paint and you'll be good! ^_^. Man, wish I could post photos here. I just finished up my Anakin Cloak for when the figure arrives.
Should I get this or the new black series archive anakin? The price difference is the biggest factor
Great video bro, will pick up Friday ✨✨✨🙌🏽
Are the Sh figuarts lightsabers the same size or bigger than the lightsabers from the black series? Thanks. Can't wait for Dooku and Ep 3 Obi wan.
The hilts are about the same but the SHF blades are usually a little thicker.
maybe eye pegs clear topossible get some mini light through eyeis the eye on face clear too?
Hmm, may have to try that.
Hope my BBTS preorder shows soon.
I just ordered mine, now the 10-20 day wait begins
I’m going to ask for this for Christmas. I want to take some anakin vs Goku pictures
New review! Got mine on per order
Well I got my Anakin in today, but it's missing the separate hair piece on the back...
I have to wait for mine as MAFEX postponed the release of gwenpool. I ordered them together. I'll never learn. ☺ but it saves shipping.
Can't fault you for that. DHL shipping racks up quick.
Bro he is awesome love that figure
Robo any idea why both Anakin figure have the single piece upper arm and different sides to the torso where as obi wan quigon and windu all have the multiple pieces and more articulation
He looks great, thanks for the review buddy👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
For a second there you sounded like Anakin Hayden lol
I hope they make more prequels action figures
Especially with next year being the anniversary of the Phantom Menace. It's time, companies!
The Fwoosh hell yeah
The sith eyes is incredible
Awsome Action Figure review
Hey robo, does your anakin have a loose joints especially on the right leg and both arms ball joints?
No, not that I've noticed.
Since i cant afford an episode two anakin, in the stopmotions i make (where it takes place before rots) im just gonna use this 😂
Fingers crossed for Palpatine from the Palpatine Yoda fight.
Fantastic release (and review, of course). The slight chance in size is not as bad as what happened with JL's Batman. If anything, I think it makes him stand even better in comparison with Darth Vader 2.0, which SHOULD be taller because it's practically a cyborg body. Regarding the faces, I agree with you: sith straight face is the best by far, but I will say this: I think the screaming face doesn't get nearly enough credit: a real human doesn't look exactly pretty or symmetrical while screaming like Anakin does when he says "LIAR!" in the final act of EP 3 (googled it), and I think they did a fantastic job recreating the depth of a person's open mouth.
Having said all that, I can't believe that Black Series Anakin is sought out I mean...it does not look great, even for a cheaper product. But Hasbro has been doing a much better job with more recent figures.
Yeah, I've actually had that SWBS Anakin in a box for a while and didn't know it was a big deal until recently. Kind of a terrible figure, but I think most people want it to be complete and it was so here and gone a lot of people missed it.
Can’t wait to get this
It's a good figure and the faces feel better in person. I was surprised that I actually liked the yelling face a lot more than I thought I would. It's my display preference now...
i.imgur.com/LV7XfHd.jpg
A couple of things that bug me - first is Bandai doing swappable face plates instead of completely swappable heads. Although the benefit is I can fudge a bit with some figures. The Sith eyes face I stuck on the Black Series figure and used the rickhor robe I had with that figure to make that iconic Dark Side Anakin look. I actually did a similar thing with OT Obi Wan's closed eyes face, using that on the Black Series OT OW body and hood up for that final duel scene look.
The other thing that bugs me is Bandai have changed the chest design, so the torso includes some of the chest skin. Figures such as Ep I and II Obi Wan, Mace Windu and Qui-Gon didn't have this, so the neck articulation doesn't stand out like it does on the Anakin figures.
I just got mine in last night, noticed that the lit lightsaber splits like on the Figuarts Rey. Haven't checked to see if they're the same yet. Can't figure out why that's not in the instructions. Hopefully this helps!
Well I'll be damned...
@@TheFwoosh looking at it further, it's not the same as Rey's. The blade is a little deeper blue and there's no d-ring at the end. But the mechanic is the same.
I wish these figures more so expensive I collect Marvel Legends Star Wars Black Series DC figures Multiverse and others that other six inch scale I bought one neca figure it's the Joker from The Dark Knight and it's an amazing figure I got it for 40 bucks and I saw Christian Bale's Batman Begins neca figure at Toys R Us and I never got it it was only 20 bucks to I was going to go back and get it but they closed
Thanks Robo. Nice vid . You didn't try him in a richor robe.
I actually just ordered a rickhor robe for him. Shipping can't happen fast enough!
I know anakin is a whiny brat but he’s still my favorite Star Wars character
The lit lightsaber actually does separate right in the middle of the hilt
Yeah, I realized that later, when it came apart and I dropped the end of it. No reason for it to do that, weird addition.
Just got this figure and had to comeback and watch lol
I bought this and it’s missing sum hands know where I could get custom hands or replacements
In terms of figures to collect should i go with hot toys, figuarts or play arts kai?
I don't care for the over stylized look of Play Arts Kai. I don't do Hot Toys because of price but they look amazing and have dug way deeper than Figuarts. I like Figuarts because of scale and I can fill holes with Black Series and other 6-inch lines. But honestly, if money wasn't a factor, I'd go Hot Toys. That would be a heck of a collection.
@@TheFwoosh alright thanks
do yall think this figures price will keep going down or up with time??? I plan to buy it sometime but when price is lowest as its not that nice. should I wait or do it now? it seems like its value hasnt changend in a while on Ebay
5:18 pause.
Anakin! Calm down bro. Gus was just trying to shoot the breeze, yo. Its not like he's a youngling.
Exactly!
You think they'll re release the Black Series Anakin with better paint and face printing in the Archive collection?
and less glossy hopefully ^^
No. The archive collection is not being made to redo all past BS6 characters that didn't get the face printing tech. That is not the point of it.
True. But at the same time X-wing Luke is getting a re-release with new face print.
Wang On Yuen
And they are not BS6 figures. That's my point. They're not going to re-do BS6 characters. The Archive Collection a completely separate toy line and is obviously for in demand figures (so far) and could possibly be geared more towards anything OTHER THAN the sequel trilogy. It could also eventually replace the BS6 line entirely. Which is what I'm thinking is going to happen.
Not sure what to think, the face print on the e2 Anakin looks much more like Hayden. Might just keep my Black Series for now. It’s repainted so it looks fab
I just ordered one, I can't wait to get it :p I don't have a lot of sh figuarts, they are expensive (I have Han, Jango and a cheep chinese fake Luke from episode 6 ^^) But man I need the 3 of them, Anakin, Obiwan and Dooku, they will look awesome together
Man, what annoys me is that Anakin pretty much has no bicep swivel. Like, why? Obi Wan has it. Qui Gon and Mace too, why doesn't he? I want to get him to hold the lightsaber with 2 hands but cause of the tunic his arm keeps popping off. If there was a bicep swivel then that wouldn't be a problem
Great review ! But still, those eyes..look strange !
Very sweet figure
Robo, you should have said, "Probably says something like, keep away from younglings."
Dammit, that is a lot better...
YES! Sith eyes, have to get him
Mine got pushe back til October on bigbadtoystore
God I wish I had him already. BigBadtoystore is taking forever
They have to import them so it seems to take longer.
That makes sense. I'm just a grown man who wants my damn figures though haha
@@Big_Papa_John believe me, I know EXACTLY what you mean, haha.
Is amazon trusted for selling authentic figuarts?
this is gorgeous!! I want it!
How much do you think a matte clear coat would help the black series Anakin
Coleman Trebor
anything would help. That thing is so shiny it looks like cheap KO plastic and is seriously distracting. It's why I pased it up originally.
Mr. Riley yeah I honestly might just sell it and use the money towards this
