I am so happy to see they actually gave him two lightsabers and that they did the episode 2 hilt rather than just giving out the regular skywalker hilt. I do wish there was the broken version though
Blogger photos really don’t do this figure justice! Got mine Monday and the headsculpt is phenomenal! I see Hayden 100% in the sculpt. Super happy with it and glad to have it in the collection. ❤️
Justin, keep beating the drum for better parts, materials or accessories. If you are going to drop good money on something, you deserve to get the best figure technology hot toys has to provide currently. I skipped this figure specifically due to the extensive pleather. Also, the ep 3 hand looked sick with this figure. Good Day!
I just got this hot toy along with matching PADME and Mace Windu also got Thor, Mighty Thor and Valkyrie from Love and Thunder and Grand Admiral Thrawn to start my Disney+ Ahsoka series. Loving them all.
The uneven distribution of light along the full length of the blade may be resolved by creating a frosted or scratched surface on the inside or core of the translucent plastic blade which would run along its entire length in order to capture the light, thus maintaining the intensity of the light all throughout the length of the blade. The concept of light being reflected by microscopic etchings on the inner core of the plastic blade is similar to 3D Crystal photos. Hope Hot Toys would consider this suggestion if they still insist on using removable plastic blades and not ccfl custom led light sabers.
These are high end collectibles worth $200-$300 and for that price they’re using fake ass leather, where is that $200-$300 going into, the headsculpt? It’s like they’re using pleather as a shortcut out of sculpting the boots and belt, and using other materials for the robes because they’re too lazy to do it, which is showing how cheap they’re being. Like if they can’t afford to use leather, okay then use anything other than that goddamn pleather. And it’s like they’re using pleather as a guarantee that you’ll buy another figure from them.
@@Joseph-oo7pp It just makes me angry that these are high end collectibles, which would make you think they’re using high quality materials such as leather or metal or anything of that nature, but instead they’re using fake leather
@@Slam_duncan03 absolutely. It’s so dumb not to use something better. I’d even take the robes and belts being made out of the rubbery Spider-Man material. It’d be less accurate, but at least slightly more durable.
To put it in perspective, a lot of people do just display figures on a regular book shelf where the lighting is much dimmer than a dedicated display cabinet.
@@JustinsCollectionI wouldn’t be so sure about that. Many people really are just not going to have enough figures or other collectibles to warrant an entire display case, or even have the space for one. A few on a bookshelf isn’t going to be a rare occurrence.
Mine got here! I'm still trying to decide on what to do with the cloak (ideally, I'd have a picnic dress Padmé and she could sit on it BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO GIVE US ALL HER OUTFITS which. We buy ask the VADERS COME ON!) but I might rework the hood with jewelry wire to make it fit/fold better.
@JustinsCollection hard-core same. someone in one of my costuming groups just hand made the funeral dress, and she's made another so I guess I'm buying patterns and getting REAL FAMILIAR with handstitching.
this is the first Hot Toys Star Wars figure ive bought directly from Sideshow and not on the aftermarket, i cant WAIT to get him in hand.... just waiting for the email from SS to pay for shipping and i hope he'll be on his way! great video as always Justin, keep it up
A discount is a must since he doesn’t have any sand 😂 I do have to say that this figure looks great, that new style of box with the open window really makes this even better
Excited to say my waitlist converted for this 2 months back, can’t wait to have him in hand! Anakin looks sick , I’m gonna pose him with the Disney+ kenobi show Obi-Wan as the flash back scenes !
I Think the likeness here it's beter than the episode 3 figure, despite like you said the logic would be that the episode 3 one would be easier to get it right... the neck i feel it's a bit too short but amazing figure, and we should all right a letter to HT for still using fake leather !
Ugh we need an Attack of the Clones “Mullet” Obi Wan so bad. I can’t wait to watch the build a figure featuring him. Great review Justin. I’m excited to add this Anakin to my collection
Do you use any kind of treatment products to protect the pleather? I was looking at 303 Protectant. It does suck, though. We shouldn’t have to even think about that on figures that cost as much as Hot Toys.
The problem with the Jedi robes is that the material is too thick and if it was made of something thinner and the hoods are supposed to be oversized than what they are for these figures then it would sit just right on shoulders and look flush along with the wire of course much much better.
This figure was 1500hkd in Hong Kong, that’s about 192usd. To be honest I would’ve paid to have a real leather version and an electromagnetic body for the sabers. But at this price I don’t think it’s possible for all those features for a licenced figure. And I do prefer to have a cheaper option for these things especially since hottoys does multiple figure lines
I believe the electronics would be possible. Real leather is not necessary. They can use a waxed material like we saw for the teased version of anakin from the Kenobi series when they announced the 501st clones.
Great review as always!!! Love your rant, well deserved! I’m always wondering how Hot Toys make their decisions on which characters to make and release order. And what accessories to include. But you said it usb cable should be included!! Pleather pleather pleather, oh I hate it. I get upset when I see my Crow figure and his jacket and pants are all flakey! I feel I tossed my money away! What can apply to the pleather to make it last but not compromise the softness/mobility of the pleather??? Because Hot Toys isn’t going to stop using it! Because we keep buying their figures! Yes the look awesome and that’s why we get them. But when you see that pleather flacking and all those flacks covering the floor on your display case, man It really makes you wonder why I’m still collecting these! Nothing last forever, that’s a fact. The head sculpt not to bad but it isn’t a ten. Did they fire the sculptures? Why are we missing two Obi Wans? We need and Episode 1 & 2. Where’s young Anakin dress in his desert clothes? I don’t think we’ll see that one ever! But we will see this Anakin again Artisan version with real hair pony tail. lol three lightsabers but no usb cable!
I've seen you mention the "new" swooshing effect for lightsaber on newer figures but going back through your videos of star wars characters at reveal events I still haven't seen the new one, what figures have the new version I want to see what it looks like.
Terrific review, the robe he comes with and the robot hand don't seem film accurate. I'm pretty sure the robot hand didn't have wires and looked like seamless chrome metal
now that we have a padawan Anakin, when will we get a padawan Obi Wan. I know Sideshow did one along with Hasbro but I'd love to see a Phantom Menace Obi Wan to go along with Qui Gon. Since when has that stopped Hot Toys?
I don't own any priced Action Figures (yet). If I did, since it would be 1 or a few ones, I would change the pose quite often so the pleather is kind of a deal breaker
I'm not sure why you don't like the fanning lightsaber blade. A swinging lightsaber creates a blur with straight edges just like the one provided. There would be no curve.
@@JustinsCollection I have tried to reply twice with a link to an image showing you what it actually looks like in the movies but neither comment is showing up. I'm assuming they violate some youtube policy.
The Mandalorian one is pretty similar, plus it just says swoop bike unlike all the other scout trooper speeder bikes. So I'd defiantly go with the neutral, close looking swoop bike for Anakin!
@@DesignedAssassin I just happen to like the exact one Anakin rides in AotC, it's distinctive enough of a design to my eyes that I couldn't use a generic one in its place. Just imo.
You're so right dude the sabers remind me of when I saw Phantom Menace in theaters and people were waving those pop out sabers around lol also what the shit? That battery pack thing is so lame ughh. I love the figure it's rad and I can't wait to get him. I love the idea of using the black or v2 arm from sith that's out of the box thinking no pun intended, haha very cool man❤
I wish they would do something about their lighting, they’ve been so complacent with it for so long. They need a competitor to start make a better solution standard, as with rolling eyes. C3PO just looks dead on the shelf, same with Iron Man, same with the sabres.
Justin, which jedi/sith figures have this “New swooshing blade” you continue to mention. I keep looking for it on sideshow’s website and cannot find it.
Can you do a review on the blitzway 1/6 scale Kurt cobain action figure? I want your true thoughts about it because I might get it but the sweater on it looks to flat, almost like you would get it in a Barbie play set. Anyway I would really appreciate it if you could get it.😃
They’re using pleather so much it’s starting to feel intentional, like they know how awful pleather is and they’re too lazy to sculpt the boots and belt out of plastic. I would like to hear hot toys’s explanation on why they use pleather for the boots and other stuff instead of plastic or anything other than that goddamn pleather.
Boy, they really screwed up on the mechanical hand. No articulation, and they sculpted in the big, silver cable-control lever used by the FX technicians to work the prop. And which wouldn’t be on the “real”, in-universe hand.
I think you nailed it in one of your other reviews, I think it was Vader. It's a business decision. If they gave us leather, then there is no reason for us to get the next figure other than maybe an updated headsculpt. Pleather guarantees them income every 5 or so years by releasing a reissue or 2.0. That being said, you should never stop advocating for the best possible figure. Riley constantly is doing his fix black suit tobey hashtag and I constantly call out Hot Toys for the neck bulge spideys, single jointed arms, and visible jointed figures. We're paying hundreds of dollars per figure. We have the right to ask for the best
@@JustinsCollection I get why people say this, but I approach figures from a customisation standpoint, so for me the main draw is just the headsculpt. A custom headsculpt from scratch costs just as much as a HT figure, if not more, so for me it's always worth it just for the headsculpt. I feel that I can always commission or create custom 'upgrades' on the accessories at a later date. But I do understand not everyone approaches this from a customising standpoint, and some only look at it as an investment.
@@andrewpayne5093we shouldn’t have to be doing maintenance on these figures because there should be absolutely NOTHING on them that has a chance of falling apart.
usb power is not a fiasko! it is necesary for many figures, but HT does not understanf it., I own Iron Man from final battle, it has 18!!!! batteries inside. I hate to turn on all the lights, it is so boring((
Oh man. I don't think that you remembered that I commented on the Tusken Raider Review asking for you to recreate the tusken massacre scene with this Anakin for the comparison segment. You agreed to it but I guess you forgot.
Younglings:Master skywalkers theres to many of them what are we going to do?🥺 Anakin: *pulls out youngling slayer 9000* Me:at this moment the younglings knew they f*cked up
Hey Justin. I have a question, Would you recommend the Hot Toys Dooku?. Because I'm thinking about getting him soon and would love to know if he is worth it.
@Darthbauer951 Howard Chan is nothing but a greedy, egotistical, and smug a-hole who along with his team of lazy and incompetent idiots needs to be fired and replaced with people who will think about the customer and not the money. Also these figures need to be made over here in America where I’m very sure we will use durable materials.

@@Slam_duncan03 I’ve never had a waitlist so I’m not sure how this wait list thing works, but I’m also brand new to this whole thing (sideshow). like if they release another episode three Anakin I would consider it. but right now I have the original episode three Anakin and episode two. I’m debating on that clone wars one (Ahsoka) but because I’ve met Hayden Christensen twice. I kind of feel like that clone wars version of him is really nicely made, but the expression is not really my favorite.
Dude, I have been watching your reviews for awhile. You never ever pose them holding their sabers correctly. You need to have them hold the saber at the choke of the hilt. If you do that, the wire won't matter at all when the figure holds it.
That’s the guy that blew up the Death Star!
Brilliant 😂
LOL
I think they snapped him for fucking that up
We all know why there is no sand accessory with him
LOL
👏😂
If they included that, might as well give him an upset headsculpt lol
@@JustinsCollectionAnakin looks like he’s wearing eye shadow
But he has a sand colored shirt

For figures like these you can easily take off the belt and use some leather and trace and cut it and replace it with real leather.

In legends he had the yellow robot arm up until the battle of nelvaan where his yellow robot arm is destroyed from destroying a crystal
Good to know!

Attack of the clones obi*@JustinsCollection
Any plans to review the new Mark 7 Open Armor Version, Justin?
I've not missed one yet have I? :P
Is it compatible with the clone wars hot toys head?
They are different neck connectors
Thank you so much for the info! Your channel is by far the best channel for collectors! thank you for everything you do❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh man. I don't think that you remembered that I commented on the Tusken Raider Review asking for you to recreate the tusken massacre scene with this Anakin for the comparison segment. You agreed to it but I guess you forgot.
Oh sorry! I only have 2 tuskens unfortunately and I wouldn’t want to ruin their poses, I’m really happy with them!
Younglings:Master skywalkers theres to many of them what are we going to do?🥺
Anakin: *pulls out youngling slayer 9000*
Me:at this moment the younglings knew they f*cked up
👀
OH GOD FINALLY
Yeah!
Will they even make an episode 2 obi wan, or better yet, epsiode 1.
I hope so!
Hey Justin. I have a question, Would you recommend the Hot Toys Dooku?. Because I'm thinking about getting him soon and would love to know if he is worth it.
For sure he’s amazing!
@@JustinsCollection Thanks a lot Justin. It feels good to know he is good
Maybe someday they might make obi wan from episode 2. By the way I like the obi wan custom you did.
I hope they do! Thank you!
“Mr I don’t like sand himself” 💀💀💀
Lol
They use the materials that will break down so you have to buy a new one eventually. Planned obsolescence at its best.
True!
@Darthbauer951 Howard Chan is nothing but a greedy, egotistical, and smug a-hole who along with his team of lazy and incompetent idiots needs to be fired and replaced with people who will think about the customer and not the money. Also these figures need to be made over here in America where I’m very sure we will use durable materials.

How is everybody getting theirs so fast that I’m still waiting on Sideshow to ship them out😭.
For some reason sideshows got delayed
Damn!
Same. Still waiting...
Yeah I can’t order anything from sideshow right now because everything is on goddamn waitlist.
@@Slam_duncan03 I’ve never had a waitlist so I’m not sure how this wait list thing works, but I’m also brand new to this whole thing (sideshow). like if they release another episode three Anakin I would consider it. but right now I have the original episode three Anakin and episode two. I’m debating on that clone wars one (Ahsoka) but because I’ve met Hayden Christensen twice. I kind of feel like that clone wars version of him is really nicely made, but the expression is not really my favorite.
Paying so much for a figure with those crappy LED lights 😒 figure looks good
Not ideal
Dude, I have been watching your reviews for awhile. You never ever pose them holding their sabers correctly. You need to have them hold the saber at the choke of the hilt. If you do that, the wire won't matter at all when the figure holds it.
I’m pretty sure I did it correctly for the poses, when he’s randomly holding them to show off the lights yes I’m not doing it as you say
Now we need an attack of the clones obi-wan
We so do!
Your not wrong hot toys decision making is atrocious they focus to much on new media. Where’s Cal Kestis?
Cassian Andor?
E2 Obi Wan?
Legit we need them all!
Shame they made it with pleather
Agreed
