Hot Toys DX Anakin Skywalker (EP3)

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I'm disappointed that they don't seem to be alluding to any new SW info / pieces..

On the bright side though - SSC actually looks to be stepping up their game these days; new Luke & Han look excellent, new clone armour sculpts are nice too - plus their head sculpt detailing in general looks to really be improving.

I guess the time has come, for me to slow down with the SSC bashing - because they're doing some great work now!

agree about Sideshow stepping up on their quality. I don't know how their figures went from being pretty awful to the showcase at SDCC 2013 where everything looked like it was catching up to Hot Toys pretty fast. Did they get new factories to produce better figures? Better artists to sculpt heads like Hoth Luke and Han (and the new Clone troops)?

How did they turn everything around so fast? Did they recently restructure their 12" figures staff? I'm very impressed.

I'll quote myself from the Han thread:



Commander Wolfe supposedly has the "new" kind of manufacturing for the head: eyes, face and hair all cast separate.

Jump to about 2 minutes in, where the Sideshow rep explains it:

Here's a photo from Michael Crawford's site:

There's a bad photo in the Wolfe thread, but I think it's just a plain old bad photo and not really indicative of the figure. I'd take it with a grain of salt.

That figure is supposedly a factory sample, and I think it looks pretty good. I'm actually glad they are using Wolfe as a guinea pig for this new manufacturing technique with a clone to hopefully iron out an kinks in the process.

But that is closer to what we should expect from the Luke and Han figures.

^ Yeah, that's what I was saying earlier. These factory paints have me hopeful. I wonder if anyone asked if Luke and Han were factory.

Moronic choice for a character. Why buy the figure of a character that ruined Darth Vaders mystery by poor acting/story?

 

[joda76]

Cause not everyone is the same and some may want that character on the shelf.

Cause not everyone has a PT Sheep Hate Boner.

You don't want one? That's ok. I'll buy two then.

What is this "Sheep Hate Boner" you speak of? Sounds hot.

 

[Jango Fett 117]

Why the hell do they just bombard us with god damn Iron Man. Anakin was one my favourite characters, especially when he goes skitz on the sand people

It's shaped like a shiney gold iron mans doll.

Yes.. all aboard the gravy train.

Their Anakin could be truly epic, & I bet they just spring him on fans right out of the blue too.. so all you cupcakes out there - dry your eyes!
