1/6 Hot Toys MMS - Episode III ROTS Anakin Skywalker (Dark Side) Collectible Figure

I wouldn't worry. I think 7-14 days is normal assuming it's just standard international shipping and not EMS, which they charge more for and is quicker. They can get held up by customs too. That said, the shipping even with that slower version often would be just as fast or faster than shipping from Sideshow was.

I usually just check on the USPS site for tracking by the way, I'm not positive the Aussie tracking always keeps working when it hits the states.

Thank you, I didn't know I could check on usps website with same tracking number. I'll try not to stress about it for a while.

Strobe is intended lave effect. I wouldn’t know about the blue lights turning off after 5 minutes since I only leave my electronic features on for 30 sec or so. Get my thats-pretty-damn-cool on, then turn off and take the batteries out. Plus HT is known for their cheap batteries that don’t last long.

Edit: Batteries aren’t included and they need 3AAA’s (I was thinking of their crappy button-cell batts) as mentioned so they should last much longer than 5 min.

So did Anakin have the sith eyes throughout the battle with obi wan. Or was it momentarily only in the beginning and when he was being toasted.

I think it was only when he was "taking care" of the Separatist leaders and the immolation scene.

 

[Hydeous]

Ah I see. That’s cool, thanks. I’m gonna try and get the normal version then.

You will miss out on a great base, better cloak and arguably face paint

The cloak is the same, no?

And the only difference are the sith eyes but rest of the skin tones are the same it seems. I don’t really like that base as it’s top scene specific for me. I’m a museum pose kinda guy.

 

[Hydeous]

Is there a side by side comparison btw?

Sith version cloak is longer, hood is bigger than reg. version. Skin tone is paler too.

 

[Hydeous]

How bout the hands. Are they paler? Perhaps I should get this set and get the normal head separately then. If the hood is better in this one than the normal ver.

Batteries not installed.

Thanks!

 

[Hydeous]

Thanks. I’d much rather go for the Jedi Anakin. Sith is too scene specific.

 

[rayeknor]

Scene specific, and a very pivotal moment in the saga

 

[Wor-Gar]

Anakin's purpose is to become Darth Vader... so yeah, it's scene specific, and Saga specific.

 

[Hydeous]

It’s a brief moment albeit important no doubt. But I’d rather have a good Anakin and Vader as the sith Anakin as the contrast between the costume are more significant. If I have some extra coins to drop, then I might in the future get the sith Anakin. But as of right now, I personally prefer the Jedi Anakin as he’s more versatile.

As stated, the robe is longer and the hood is larger. Skin tone is a little lighter on Sith Anakin.

 

[DioramaMaker]

The base is fantastic. One of the best HT has ever done, I really like it.

 

[GaryPool]

Has anyone else's Anakin come with the left leather pad over the shoulder slightly bent on not "flat" or straight how the image above is?

 

[SilverStar17]

Thanks. I’d much rather go for the Jedi Anakin. Sith is too scene specific.

My sentiments also. The regular can serve as both Jedi Anakin and Sith Anakin to me, being that he only had Sith eyes for no more than three seconds while as a Sith.
