1/6 Hot Toys MMS - Episode III ROTS Anakin Skywalker (Dark Side) Collectible Figure

[rayeknor]

Interesting how Sideshow has a 1 per person limit while the Australians let you put a squad of Anakins in your basket
If it wasnt for these vat taxes I'd be able to snag him for $215/290AUD.

Nice figure but got both emperor and ESB vader coming, so pass for me until maybe second market in the future, I recon it wont skyrocket that much in price

I kind of want to see this before I buy it. See how those red eyes come out.

Yep your right. $23,801.58 for 99 of them. Made sure to empty my cart before i left the site. Be a hell of a mistake to buy a funko pop and forget those are in the cart

I just wanted to see if it was like BBTS and you add 99 and it only lets you have 13 because that is all that is in stock. Might have to check out with Popcultcha before it changes or they have a ton of these.

Is there any way to guesstimate edition sizes? I know back in the day Hot Toys made barely a thousand of some figures, obviously with Star Wars stuff its a lot higher, seemingly so even the exclusives.

Less then 24k for 99? Thats a steal, check out and hit ebay!

..enough to compensate for the losses of those TFA figures

+The Last Cheetos figures.

Yeah, very good points all around. T-squared paint job is also immaculate. I keep trying to compare photos of the paint jobs vs the soon to be release...and the work these custom artists do...it's stunning. The official sideshow pics look pretty great, but I think the red light coloring shining on the figure makes it look a bit more sinister than the actual figure will eventually be, I think. That's why I'm digging all these customs. They really got it right

Total bummer for the CC exclusive about the robe. I didn't think it would bother me at first (on my regular Anakin) but eventually it did.

Are you gonna post pics of your custom?

I forget, does Popcultcha charge your debit card right away when you order figures thru them?

 

[GaryPool]

How is it cheaper for Americans to order from Popcultcha? Sure the import tax is way more than just ordering from SS? If I ordered from Popcultcha I'm pretty sure that it'd be more than ordering from SS - or can any UK collector confirm whether it's the same or cheaper?

 

[rayeknor]

By the looks of it no taxes for Americans buying figures from Australia. Or did I get it wrong?

If you want, you can put down a AU$100 minimum deposit to pre-order.

I thought I did. My bad. My girlfriends camera is lent out, so I was holding off until I got it back as my camera phone just can't capture the image, but here it is so far

No import tax for U.S.

 

[Dixmois]

No, but I know the one time I ordered from them, between the cost of shipping and my bank charging me conversion fees, it wasn't worth it.

Nice!

The LED arm actually looks better lit up with those swoosh blade attachments than it does with the normal blade.

 

[rayeknor]

With these moving sabers all I see despite trying is a giant star wars spatula. Not even making the sound in my head helps

Love the custom eyes

 

[Jamielov]

Thank you for the kind words, I'm really loving this guy. All thanks to T-squared for the work he put in. As far as the "fan" blade, it's growing on me. I was going for the look when Anakin kills the separatists, and there was a lot of one handed fan looking shots in that scene.

Got my head from Frost .
What do you guys think? For me a bit too much on the eye shadow.

I like it to be honest. Without the darkness around the eyes, he still looks a little underwhelming as a "Dark Side" Anakin. The coloring around the eyes makes the figure as do the eyeballs itself...in my opinion. Plus when you throw the hood on...oh man it looks sweet/evil
