Anakin Skywalker




Sideshow Collectibles
presents its 12-inch, fully-articulated figure of Anakin Skywalker-the original bad boy Jedi Knight that succumbed to the Dark Side and became Darth Vader.

The Order Of The Jedi Anakin Skywalker figure comes packaged in a thick, flip-lid box with color photos of the figure displayed on all sides.

The wide hinge lid (with Velcroed panel) revealing the accessories opens up. The Velcro panel interior has information about the figure and Star Wars Universe as does the wide hinge area connecting the inside flap and main body of the box.

The thick inside flap interior holds all the accessories for the figure snug in a plastic form fitted cocoon behind a clear plastic panel.

The figure itself is enclosed in the main part of the box. It too is secured in a form-fitted, clear plastic cocoon and protected by a see-thru plastic panel. A single sheet of tissue paper between the accessories and figure panel eliminates scuffing.

A circular base with support wire also comes with the figure. This allows the figure to be posed and displayed. Articulation of the figure is tight and includes: ball and socket, swivel, hinge and tilt articulation points.

The hands firmly grasp the various accessories with no slippage or wonkiness and the coloration of the figure is well done especially on the face with slight tone variations emulating human flesh.

The face sculpt looks like Anakin right down to its piercing blue eyes, sharp features and slightly grim look. The hair is molded plastic but looks remarkably real.

Accessories include:

  • A Belt with Lightsaber and Opening Pouches.
  • Lightsaber Hilt.
  • Lightsaber Hilt with Ignited Blade
  • Jedi Food Capsules.
  • Jedi Aquata Breather.
  • Jedi Holoprojector.
  • Jedi Communicator
  • Multiple Interchangeable Hands:
    • Force Wield Left Hand.
    • Lightsaber Grip Left Hand.
    • Robotic Right Hand and Forearm.
    • Gloved Right Hand and Forearm.

Detailing is superb especially on the Lightsaber and Robotic Right Hand and Forearm. The Robotic Arm’s mechanisms are clearly seen and the seamless blending of mechanism and flesh is amazing.

The figure comes dressed in typical Jedi attire with a black pleated smock and a black leather vest which is cinched at the waist with a black belt complete with silver buckle, twin pouches and a small black carrying case.

Both the smock and vest are open around the figure’s neck for a loose fit.

Brown pants are tucked into knee-high, black leather boots and a large brown hooded cape drapes over the figure’s shoulders and hides its face is so chosen.

Overall it is an excellent figure with well-crafted accessories, excellent color application, clever articulation and superb packaging the at keeps both the figure and accessories organized and snug.

Movement of the figure is unhindered by the clothing. No unsightly folds, wrinkles or creases occur in the clothing when the figure is posed.

Leviticus 22:31 - Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
