Well anyway, I received Anakin, he isn't as bad as people say.
It's clearly not perfect though.
The soy is strong with this one. Your investment is safe as long as you enjoy it, brah. I'm entitled to make my own observations.
2 out of his 3 faces look too cartoonish lol
Cant we go one day without trying to downplay the figure? Its fine in hand.

All of the Anakin figures have the same big and small elbow joints. One arm is smaller because it lacks the large sleeve. Having a small joint on the sleeved arm would decrease the articulation it has and look dumb and having a big joint on the sleeveless arm would look dumb. It’s getting idiotic with the Anakin complaints, look what lengths people are going to “fix” the faces.

That's what I assumed, just wasn't sure. I rarely have QC issue with figuarts but it does happen.
Woof, repainting? I mean I can see fi people think the sculpt is off but repainting these heads I don't think will help much. This is 1/12 scale, these are tiny, this is about as good as one can hope for in this scale. I am all for valid figure complaints, peoples face plates not sitting flush or misprinted faces or dip in quality is all fair, luckily mine turned out great, super happy with this.
Thing is Figuarts can and has done better. They've shown how amazing 1/12 scale faces can be. I think their Maul likeness is better than the Hot Toys and Side Show attempt. Mace is perfection. Ep1 Obi-wan, aside from the gold frosted tip hair, is dead on. Kylo Ren? Perfect. Etc etc. Hell they did a better job with Ep2 Ani compared to this one. With this they gave us one face thats pretty good, but also strangely baby faced looking. And two other faces that looked modeled off of Hayde's stunt double.
The problem is Figuarts sets a standard for themselves and then consistently misses it.
Can't we go one day without trying to downplay legitimate criticisms of the figure? It's not fine in hand. One face is fine. The other two are wonky at best, terrible at worst.
A few days back I decided that I wanted to see what the ROTS Anakin would look like with the AOTC face sculpt. The results are surpring in my opinion. While it looks similar it also looks really good and different at the same time.
I did one a bunch of pages back before the figures release as well but with the calm face to see what it could look like.
Valid criticism should be fine here, this thread is to discuss SW Figuarts - the good, the bad and the damn ugly.
I do take issue with the regular hijacking of BS Vs Figuarts though - it becomes tiresome. Just look through the last few pages. Next time, someone should just start a separate ‘versus/conparison’ thread to fight it out in.
