Hot Toys MMS437 - Episode III ROTS Anakin Skywalker 1/6 Collectible Figure

[Berry sXe]

OneSixthKit has a custom cloak up now for pre-order. Much longer than the stock cape.

So I finally received my Anakin today. The sculpt is great, the outfit is nice, but I do gotta day my firsts impression in hand was the body felt a little.....flimsy I guess is the word? The boots are nicely detailed, but feel a little flimsy to me as well. I wish the arms had a bit more range of motion, such as being able to bend backwards a bit (instructions even state not to bend the arms too much outward). I’m surprised as well that he was packaged already wearing the cloak, as opposed to having a separate tray for the cloak to be stored in underneath the actual figure tray so it doesn’t get wrinkled,, such as with RotJ Jedi Luke. Since I don’t have him with the cloak on, I just laid it in the figure tray.

Only minor issue I noticed on mine was a small bit of wire protruding out of the fabric on the left sleeve cuff. Not a huge deal though, as I just bent it so it laid flush against the sleeve and then twisted the sleeve to where that side faces his side.

Overall, I’m happy with him. He does look striking on the shelf in hand. I went with a “this is the end for you, my master” pose:

I’m sure I’ll continue to futz with him in the next few days and make little adjustments here and there as I see new little details in pictures and screen shots that I wasn’t privy of before.

This figure, RotS Kenobi and the AotC Dooku would make for an excellent display.

One per shelf is a sight of beauty

Out of curiosity, and I suppose this goes for both this version and the Sith version since they’re the same figure, did anyone else have to do any major futzing to the outfit out of the box, most notably the shirt collars? Out of the box the collars on mine were a little sloppy and kind of hung loose around his neck, so I really had to do some major futzing by pulling them closer to his neck to get it to somewhat look like this particular image:

I wish I had the space to do that for every figure.

 

[Creighton]

^yes on the one I sold. The collar was pinched under the hair and loose.

 

[SilverStar17]

Isn’t his hair supposed to be over the collar though? Or is the collar in the back supposed to be popped?

 

[Creighton]

Mine was pinched under the hair and flipped into the shirt.

That looks pretty good. Might have to consider grabbing one of those. Although I might just pose him in a way where the length won't be as much of an issue. I think its mostly a problem if he's just standing.

 

[Creighton]

I ordered the custom cape. The HT hood is undersized as well.

 

[SilverStar17]

Ah ok. Were you able to futz it at all, or is that the reason why you sold it?

 

[Tee-Kay]

I'm on the fence for that custom cape. Overall shape and size look good but not convinced by the shinier fabric.

 

[Creighton]

Yeah, I redressed him. Sold him to fund Sith Anakin. Lol

 

[Creighton]

The stock cloak was kinda shiny too.

It is indeed but OSK pics make their custom look even shinier.

I may do this too. The length on the HT doesnt bother me, but the hood definitly does!

Re: Hot Toys Episode 3 Anakin

Quick tip. If you have any thigh expanders that come from most cheap custom 1/6 bodies I highly recommend putting those around anakins thighs. It gives some bulk to his chicken legs so they don’t look as bad proportioned. Makes a big difference

Looking real good on display there! The one I received had that wire issue as well - I just pulled it into the sleeve.

Thanks!

All he needs is the lava droid, since that’s the exact pose he did on the lava droid.

I’ve since futzed with him a bit more, namely the collar area. Regarding the wire on mine, I’m not sure I would be able to do the same as you did, unless I cut it. It’s not just a single strand of wire protruding out that you’d be able to just pull back into the sleeve, but more a loop. Is that how yours was?

 

[jedibear]

I did have to cut it and then pull it back in

Ah ok, that’s what I’m contemplating doing.
