Despite the lack of a good futzing, the figure shines in the video. As always, the portrait and finish is a little softer than the proto, but it still looks like the best Anakin we've seen in sixth-scale yet. Looks like the same copper paint for the hair that has appeared on other figures recently, but not so heavy this time. The hair sculpture is really impressive.
The outfit is really gorgeous... well-scaled textures and colors. The boots are good, but look like, depending on the luck of the draw here, one could end up with overly-crunched shafts as has been observed with ANH Han and more recently with Tarkin. The approach HT has taken with boots is novel, using softer, pleather-like materials to achieve the right look , but the downside ends up being the "scrunched" look around the ankle and where the shaft meets the top of the boot.
It's interesting to note that the same kind of material was not employed with the gauntlet- while it looks well-detailed , it also looks like the cheapest part of the presentation...very "plastic".
Does the blade remove from the Dooku hilt? Hope so.
The stand doesn't bother me- it's just a card on top of the base (like those R1 portrait cards).
All and all, a very exciting looking figure, one I wouldn't expect to hang around long. As much as folks carp on the prequels around here, Anankin still manages to get plenty of appreciation. Wouldn't hang on the fence long here...
And here's hoping an ROTS Kenobi is on the way too. Hanving that character rendered as great as this one is would make the perfect prequel set.
Can't wait for more reviews and pics!
