Anakin Image Thread

[King Darkness]

Just got mine...and let me say he is better than Luke in every way...I love this figure....Questionable paint app aside I think he is near perfect, from head to toe...


I really cant say how much better in person he looks, much like Luke did..His lips are dark but not a single shade....The pix I have seen make his lips looks like a solid color..This is not the case, there are light and dark shading in his lips and they are not nearly as shinny as the pix have made them look....Same goes for his hair...

He costume is far beyond Lukes and seems to conform to his body much better..The multiple layers give him a much more "human" bidy shape..not nearly as skiny as Luke can look.Boots are well detailed and his belt is much more realistic than I had thought.

My one complaint is that of the arm...mine does fit rather tight, not falling of real easy as some have stated, but moving it presents some what of a problem...I put a small amount of super glue around the peg to give it more width and I worked great...His arms no longer fall of when trying to move them...

The robotic arm is really impresive in person...The holo Palpatine is a little lame and I cant find I real reason to display him with it, maybe with SDCC Vader, but not Anakin....

If I had to grade Anakin on a scale of 1-10 I would say he was a 9...only because of the paint app...the arm issue is easy to fix so I dont hold that against him...I am very very happy with this figure and I think you will be once you get him in your hands..

You and Wor-Gar both! I think it's crazy cool too!!!

Wasn't the robot arm in the movie really shiny? Like glisteny shiny. I may have to borrow some of the gloss from his lips and shine up my robot arm.

Got my Anakin awhile ago. The box was smased on the corner. I'll post pics of Anakin in minute.

I'll say ditto to this. Fantastic job overall. Really a awesome awesome figure.

nice review, im glad the superglue trick works. im going to do that for sure.

 

[Aerosmith]

2 thing I don't like to much. The arm falls off to easy & the hood on the robe is really big.

Sorry bout the box, you can have it replaced.

Love the pics, looks cool with the right lighting.

 

[King Darkness]

Oh yeah..his robe is perfect....I didn't think the hood was to big...I think I read were someone had said that...

 

[Aerosmith]

Yeah I might have to play around with the robe for awhile & get it right. But right now it looks too big. Kick ass figure though. Can't wait for the SDCC version.

:chew

I'll try and snag a pic tomorrow. I need to get started on my review though of this figure. Hoefully, I can crack that out and we can get this up over at Sandtroopers by the weekend.

 

[EVILFACE]

Anakins robotic arm also shows what SS can do with the next T2 Terminator.

 

[DarkArtist81]

I love this pic dude.... very nice.

 

[nash]

the hood for his robe is supposed to be big compared to luke's anyway.

 

[pjam]

WE'RE JUST GETTIN' THIS CRAAAZY PARTY STARTED. MORE PICS, MORE PICS PLEASE!!!

 

[Aerosmith]

I love this pic dude.... very nice.

Thanks! Ive decided to use that pose for Vader when he arrives.

 

[Agent0028]

That is a great pose Aerosmith, but I'm thinking of using it for Mace Windu.

From one Josh to another..... Good idea!! :chew

 

[Aerosmith]

That is a great pose Aerosmith, but I'm thinking of using it for Mace Windu.

Im really regreting not ordering Kit, Mace, & Qui-Gon. I was only going to order my favorite characters, but after I got Luke that all changed.

From one Josh to another..... Good idea!! :chew

From one Josh to another..... I want an Origins Kurgan also. :chew
