Hot Toys MMS437 - Episode III ROTS Anakin Skywalker 1/6 Collectible Figure

Christmas gift from my wife:

Beautiful pictures!
Most impressive!
He looks great with his cloak on too.

Great pics hrguerra! Congrats on getting him!

Thanks, guys. It’s one of favorites, even though turning the lightsaber on is a pain.

Another pic. I choose the regular version because he only has Sith eyes for like 2 seconds, and if I want him with Sith eyes, they are easy enough to Photoshop.

Nice shots... need to PS his Caribbean tan as well

Sith Anakin is getting all the love right now (rightfully so), but this figure is beautiful as well. Keep the pics comin’.

I’m sure this has been discussed to death, but what’s the best way to prevent the faux leather from cracking? I’ve been using 303 protectant for a long time, and while the rubber in the Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises suits are as good as new, the ANH Vader (3 years old) gloves and Catwoman’s boots (5 years old) cracked a little bit. Is Anakin doomed as well?

Went for a look that has Anakin drawing his saber by using the force to pull it to his hand.

I’m not sure which protectants are most effective, but I think the best way is to be mindful of the environment it’s kept in.

Thanks!! I honestly wish the non Sith version had a bit of a less aggressive portrait than the Sith version. Yes, Anakin was unstable and unhinged during Episode III however the portrait really sells that he’s already become Darth Vader, rather than looking how he was during the first few acts of the film. It would have also made displaying the two next to each other appear as obviously different pieces and not look (to an untrained eye) like an identical figure.

Some advice, like no direct sunlight, is easy and common sense, but when it comes to humidity, I’m at a loss. Too humid is bad, too dry, and it cracks. I don’t know how to achieve perfectly balanced humidity.

How's the neck on your figures? with all the staining issues on the robe i do hope the collar doesn't have any bleeding issues on the neck portion unlike the previous HT figures.
