So I finally received my Anakin today. The sculpt is great, the outfit is nice, but I do gotta day my firsts impression in hand was the body felt a little.....flimsy I guess is the word? The boots are nicely detailed, but feel a little flimsy to me as well. I wish the arms had a bit more range of motion, such as being able to bend backwards a bit (instructions even state not to bend the arms too much outward). I’m surprised as well that he was packaged already wearing the cloak, as opposed to having a separate tray for the cloak to be stored in underneath the actual figure tray so it doesn’t get wrinkled,, such as with RotJ Jedi Luke. Since I don’t have him with the cloak on, I just laid it in the figure tray.
Only minor issue I noticed on mine was a small bit of wire protruding out of the fabric on the left sleeve cuff. Not a huge deal though, as I just bent it so it laid flush against the sleeve and then twisted the sleeve to where that side faces his side.
Overall, I’m happy with him. He does look striking on the shelf in hand. I went with a “this is the end for you, my master” pose:
I’m sure I’ll continue to futz with him in the next few days and make little adjustments here and there as I see new little details in pictures and screen shots that I wasn’t privy of before.
This figure, RotS Kenobi and the AotC Dooku would make for an excellent display.
