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

That screaming Maul sculpt is a miss, in my opinion. The serious sculpt alone would be fine. Emperor Palpatine is the one that deserved a second sculpt.

I agree, you never saw Maul like that. Gritted teeth would be preferred.

What!???

 

[Creighton]

Seriously, that open mouth sculpt is the let down of let downs.

It really is a miss. Why do Star Wars seem to get wonky, smiling, side-eyed sculpts? The marvel sculpts seem way more straight forward and direct. I don’t collect marvel so I may be wrong, but they seem to have better sculpts in general.

Most of them (MCU sculpts) are better. I think the majority of their DCEU sculpts are better as well. As a whole, I think the SW line has the weakest likenesses.

 

[fantasticfrog]

They really do have the weakest likenesses. Also, how did Batman get 2 versions of the tumbler, the bat pod, the BAT, batmobile, and what do we get for Star Wars? We get maul’s speeder to go with his drunk driving sculpt.

I adore this figure, I gave him a red blade for a what if he beat Obi wan scenerio

As much as I find light up options pointless on these types of figures, I am impressed with the two light-up Lightsaber wielding characters I own. Looks fantastic.

People complaining about sw sculpts in this thread or the emperors need to find another one where it doesn't sound as funny

I don’t know man.....Anakin, the First Leia, both Obi-Wans, Dooku, TFA Han, Jedi Luke, and TFA Rey were all pretty amazing. I think they have had most issues with some of Luke and Han sculpts but I thought for most part this line has been received pretty well.

Don't forget TLJ Leia. It's scary how realistic it looks.

I think the knock people were saying were with the OT sculpts for some of the main heroes. The PT ones have all been great. ANH Han, Luke, Kenobi are all lacking in various degrees. And I love Chewie but a lot of folks think he looks terrible.

And ROTJ Luke doesn’t seem universally praised either.

Since I collect a bit of everything (though haven’t dived into PT) I’ve found a number of figures with top quality sculpts — Tarkin, Chirrut, Ren, ANH Leia, the three old heroes from the ST. Both Rey’s are actually a bit of a miss for me too, I keep Rey with the head gear fully covering her face usually.

I would say its very hit and miss with SW....

Mostly miss with OT.

Leia has the best OT versions overall...

They really need a ANH Luke 2.0

I love the light up sabers. I just wish that there was an easier way to activate them without running and hiding wires through soap studios type products. Even something like a magnetic toggle where you wave a little magnet over the arm to trigger the switch would be preferable.

 

[Creighton]

This may have been mentioned before but for those considering the figure- the cloak has been corrected from the original release.
I have the OSK cloak and realized that side by side they are basically the same.That said, I highly recommend you only buy the OSK cloak only if you have the original Ani...or even try and score a DS Ani cloak elsewhere.

Throw the stock cloak away, get it as far away from your figure, make a fancy G-string out of it....

ST figures I think are hit and miss as well.

Honestly I think all the HT Star Wars sculpts have been pretty amazing except ESB Vader. Some might not have the perfect likeness, but all are at least pretty close, and there’s no question who the figure is supposed to represent.

I think its more that peoples expectations have risen to the point where it’s nearly impossible to please everyone with a factory made art product.

 

[SilverStar17]

Of the figures I own, this is my personal list of simply either "hit or miss" human sculpts in my opinion, without going into additional detail on them:

RotS Anakin (regular) - hit

R1 Jyn - miss

ANH Leia - hit
ANH Luke - miss
ANH Kenobi - miss
ANH Tarkin - hit
ANH Solo - miss

ESB Bespin/DX07 Luke - hit
ESB Yoda (not human, but I'll add him for the heck of it) - miss
ESB Hoth Leia - hit

RotJ Luke - miss
RotJ Emperor - hit

TFA Rey - miss
TFA Finn - miss
TFA Luke - miss (sculpt looks better on TLJ Luke though)
TFA Solo - hit

TLJ Rey - miss

Hit - 7
Miss - 10

They’re their own worst enemies. People expect the quality of the best HT figures with every different figure they happen to want. And it just doesn’t always play out like that.

 

[SilverStar17]

Yeah, even for the ones I listed as misses, that doesn’t necessarily mean I think they’re poor sculpts. The majority of them are indeed good enough to where there’s no question who it’s intended to be, it just could have been better. Jyn, RotJ Luke, Finn, ANH Solo, just to name a few for me.
