Re: Hot Toys - Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Anakin Skywalker (& Stab) Collectible Figu
I passed on the RotS versions of both Anakin and Obi-Wan at the time (lack of funds, not really focused on the hobby), and with the aftermarket prices I had written them off. So when the announcement came I was honestly pretty excited. Seeing them "in the flesh", both are actually pretty good. The first pics of the protos were pretty bad, but these promo pics of Anakin won me over. I always disliked the robes and found them boring, so in a way I'm glad I'll be able to get the armoured versions. I've never watched the CGI cartoon ("muh chips" and "muh buddy-buddies" just ruined it for me), so I'm glad that they are compatible with the Genndy 2003 show which I have watched and love. I wonder if they'll do a Ventress and how she'll look. Just a regular Anakin for me, I have no use for the STAP or the poncho. I'll wait until it's up at a few places to see where I PO. Now I've got to wait for Obi-Wan. As for the release date, it's late, but it kinda suits me since I've just gotten back into the 1/6th game this year, and I could use a more relaxed slate. I still need to go back and buy Dooku, Maul and Palpatine (leaving this one for last in case they do a RoS version, since I find the red robes more interesting than the all-black ones, regardless of the film's quality).
