Anakin Skywalker

Consistent with their previous releases, Sideshow Collectibles makes yet another HIGH QUALITY figure. The body of the figure is solid and well articulated, featuring 15 points of articulation with ample rotation and degree of movement. The body is well proportioned without looking bulky.

The costume detail is extraordinary with no expense spared to get all the details in. The tabbard looks like leather, and materials used in the tunic and pants looks just like the film.

The head sculpt is excellent but not quite as life like as the Darth Maul or Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Of course, being rash and impulsive leads to lost limbs in the Star Wars Universe and Sideshow Collectibles has got you covered, with not only a removable limb but the cyborg replacement as well. The detail is fantastic however the hand is in a fixed pose but will rotate.

The figure is loaded with accessories; 2 Lightsaber hilts (one ignited, one turned off), gloved arm, cyborg arm, comlink, rebreather, holopad. Pouches open to store all the items, yet another nice touch.

And last but not least, every Jedi gets a cool long flowing robe. Anakin is, of course, no exception, with vents built in to give you that flowing look and of course the hood features a small thin wire to get the look “just right.”

As always another one well worth picking up, if Padme’s baby’s daddy isn’t your thing be sure to take a look at the line as they continue to make different characters. If they’re not doing one you like, odds are they will. They are well worth the price of admission.
