Hot Toys DX Anakin Skywalker (EP3)

[cokebabies]

Hey - why stop there.

If the box is big enough, why not throw in a whiney 2002 Hayden, complete with the severed heads of an innocent Tusken family.

And a big red X with buzzer sound.

 

[Wulf]

Just I was ready to pull the trigger on Medicom's Anakin...
Now I'll have to wait to get this HT.
One Star Wars figure per year from HT ?!
Maybe my grandchildren will be able to complete the millenium falcon crew from ANH.

More like one figure per two years.

No way dude - that was damn funny. How dare you play down my incredible wit.

Anyway - don't shoot the messenger, blame Ani - he's the creepy one.

 

[Mogli]

Speaking of which, what happened to SSC's Vader??
I thought it's going up for PO early 2013 @_@

I've been waiting for it, I don't have a 1/6 Vader. At this rate, he'll be available when we start seeing pics of HT Han Solo.

(I was agreeing with you!)

Haven't you seen the Plinkett review of AOTC?

 

[Niltusk]

Is it just a rumor or is there truth to Hot Toys trying to get the asian license from Medi?

one figure a year... which year is anyone's guess.

I think people were confusing the 1/6 Vader with the Mythos Vader that just went up.

Oh, right.


~~~
For this figure, I'm most concerned about the price.
Part of the charm of HT Luke was its good pricing.

HT has been increasing prices lately.

Episode IV Han? How do make a DX of him? What's he gonna come with, a pair of gloves and a medal?

They really should do Episode V as a DX. Bespin/Carbonite block and/or Hoth. So many possibilities there.

I hope it looks as good, or better than the one Vancei did years ago. That piece was absolutely amazing at the time. I managed to locate one at one point but the guy wanted something like $2,500 for it. I'd also pick up an extra head to see if I could get someone to do "real" hair.

As for Han, I'm hoping for a Bespin and Hoth. He can be bashed with other costumes. What is it with this one SW figure a year crap!? For crying out loud, if they can do umpteen zillion Batman and Iron Man figs, they can do 3 SW a year. Original Trilogy trio (Luke, Leia, Han). Prequel trilogy trio (Anakin, Obiwan, Padme). Other major humans (Lando, Mace, Qui-Gon). SS can do all the other characters, aliens and droids.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Good point, kl241. Empire Han would have provided so many possibilities.

I said it before, but ANH Han will probably include the Falcon's turret seat with headset as the extra display piece.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I forgot to mention: Anakin fig is a pass.

 

[MarfMaster]

I for one am stoked its ANH Han, the most iconic version in my eyes. As for DX material, storm trooper body.

And yeah anakin is a mega pass.

 

[kl241]

Stormtrooper armor would feel like a ripoff when we already have the Sideshow stormie.

 

[Darkseed]

That Anakin pic is bad a$$.....

In terms of Solo, Smuggler version could have a piece of the Falcon (cockpit, landing ramp or turret w headset) if plentiful accessories like Luke

 

[a-dev]

HT has been increasing prices lately.

Only lately?

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

Only lately?

Well if you adjust for inflation, yes only lately.


Seriously though, for my area, HT has recently spiked in prices.
I got Avengers Cap for $182, and now I'm paying $192 for Snake Eyes.

 

[Jaycepticon]

This is great news for me. I've regretted selling off my old Anakin PF and if it's anything like DX Luke, this will be a must-have for me.

Spoiler

And I don't even have DX Luke,lol

 

[Wulf]

I hope it looks as good, or better than the one Vancei did years ago.

I hope so too, that custom piece looks awesome.

I forgot to mention: Anakin fig is a pass.

Oh you forgot to mention it? Thank you for remembering, now we know! Yeah, I'm also going to walk into threads about a figure I'm obviously going to pass on and let everyone there know it. Trolololol.
