Not sure how many threads there are going to be for this figure, but I guess it's the $22k that has everyone jumping up and down. Look if someone has the money and wants the figure, more power to them. The first time I saw photos of this figure it absolutely blew me away. It was an amazing piece of craftsmanship. I collected Bowen and Sideshow and had zero interest in 1:6 at the time and I set about searching for one. I had the chance to pick one up for either $2,500 or $3k, I can't recall. It may have been more. Of course I thought that was insane. Little did I know it wasn't that crazy in the 1:6 world and I've since paid over $1k for a figure. However even if I could purchase one today for $2k-$3k I doubt I would. Not to take anything away from Vancie, but nowadays there are customizers capable of producing similar quality figures. It would be interesting to see an Anakin by Rainman, Velvet Morning or Iminime. Ideally I'd like to see an official release from Hot Toys, but I don't think they'll be producing any prequel figures for a while. Eventually I would like to have a high quality Anakin in the collection.
I'm an anakin Skywalker fanatic and have been buying either mass products, custom and handmade of him in any scale. Regardless of the pricetag, this Vansei Anakin is the best of the best and still one of best 1:6 figure I ever seen and owned, to knowing this figure was made a decade ago.....back then people didn't understand, now people still doesn't.
Just the magnetic eyes moving system will shock you and yet no one can make that until today.
Nexus thanks for your fair comment but most here just commenting negatively because they don't understand
