Anakin Skywalker Gets His First Hot Toys 1/6 Scale Figure

Anakin Skywalker is one of my favorite characters in all of fiction. Say what you will about Hayden Christensen (and everyone does), but I enjoy his performance in the Prequels – sorry not sorry.

As of late, we are slowly seeing the prequels leak back into merchandise as the younger generation, who grew up with these movies and love them, are commanding more spending power.

Which leads me to today's news: Hot Toys has just announced their first Anakin 1/6 scale figure, and I like it.

"My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count!" – Anakin Skywalker

Playing a core and decisive role in the Star Wars galaxy, Anakin Skywalker had the potential to become one of the most powerful Jedi ever, and was believed by some to be the prophesied Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. Despite being a hero of the Clone Wars, Anakin's fear of loss would prove to be his downfall and lead him on a path to the Dark Side.

Today Hot Toys is thrilled to officially present our incredible movie masterpiece – the highly anticipated 1/6th scale Anakin Skywalker collectible figure from Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.

Masterfully crafted based on the appearance of Anakin Skywalker in the movie, the 1/6th scale collectible figure features a newly developed head sculpt with impressive likeness, a meticulously tailored Jedi outfit, an interchangeable mechno right arm, a LED light-up lightsaber, an additional Count Dooku's lightsaber, and a specially designed figure base.

This new Anakin Skywalker collectible figure will surely be a phenomenal masterpiece to add to all Star Wars fans' collection!

I like it a lot, actually. This is my favorite look for Anakin, and Revenge of the Sith is my second favorite Star Wars film, so for me this will be an instant preorder as soon as it is available.

Look for orders to start later this fall and likely ship next summer.
