I just love the use of his Clone Wars appearance, looks so clean and nice on him.

Anyone else come back after ep 5 and just appreciate how good they did

Re-using the headsculpt is a good idea because the look of determination/anger always helps figures with the Hayden likeness. His likeness is pretty hard to nail. So having the furrowed brows is the best way to capture his vibe and presence.

I'm still undecided, but part of me wants him for the 2003 CW season 2 look.Thats were the armor and cape come from. He wears his AOTC look until he gets Knighted, then has the long hair and starts to wear the armor.

Old video, but I think the Clone Wars costume design for both Obi-Wan and Anakin is some of the best of all time. Like they write such a story with their costumes. Anakin foreshadowing Vader’s look and having Obi-Wan with a military general persona, adds to the mythic of these two when you watch Episode IV

as someone with like a million hours in the game, i cant believe that i didnt realize the secondary armor is the shape from battlefront. it definitely also works as vader foreshadowing, but it’s cool to know that they got the specific reference from the game. great catch.

Man this figure is just gorgeous… paint apps on the STAP are simply perfection.

The live action clone wars armour from the Ahsoka series looks a lot like this figure!!

I’m actually pretty sure that the “battlefront” style armour is actually from the animation. I have no idea where the bluer looking armour is meant to be from. If you look at pictures of the animation that’s what I think. All in all, awesome review, and I can’t wait to get mine!!

Fantastic figure review Justin! I love what they were able to accomplish and translate here. I really hope we see a clone wars flashback in the kenobi series with Anakin wearing this costume

If anyone is having trouble with the right hand gauntlet on their figure ive found a fix: If you remove the gauntlet, smooth out the forearm fabric and put a fold in it, it fills more space once you put the gaunt back on (dont slide it on wrap it around his forearm to put it on) then when you clip it together it should lock together and have no issues of unclipping again because the fabric is pressing up against it on the inside. Worked a treat with mine and looks seamless 👍

Your laundry chime going off at 17:28 made me look arpund the office in confusion before i realised it was from ur vid lol. Great review as always.

Dang I gotta admit, the LEDs in the STAP turbines almost FOMO'ed me. His swap out armor choices are my favorite feature of the figure itself.

Awesome review as usual. I haven’t bought a figure yet without checking out your review on it. I just grabbed this amazing clone wars Anakin after watching this video. Thanks for the great content Justin!

Love the bloopers!!! The paint apps on the STAP are sweet

ahsoka episode 5

What a fantastic set, glad that went with the CIS paint scheme for the stap.

I’m thinking about picking up this figure and I was so excited when he was announced! He looks really good and he will go great with my Captain Rex!

he sure is a great figure its nice they put lights in him too ,that base was a nice touch too

I love you videos mate and sneak peeks I look forward to them. Far batter then other people's reviews. Put I always fast forward through them so I can see the poses people put them in to give me some ideas.

Looks fantastic! I wish I could ride that thing to school…. Well, when I used to go to school. Thanks Justin! From KC to JC have a good one my friend!

22:00 There was no overlap with Rex’s phase II armor and Anakin’s earlier seasons look, but rather the other way around! The Jedi seemed to get their new wardrobe in before the clones. Damn space shipping! Lol

Coming from the future and this anakin clone wars figure is even more of a must own

I love the S.T.A.P. especially the tan Phantom Menace one.

I bit the bullet and bought Anakin! He should be here this coming Friday the 17th of June. Very excited. :)

3:23 it's the other way around. The one with the shoulder flare and articulation is based on the animation version. The one with flat rigid armor is the one based on Battlefront. A key detail you can focus on to tell the difference is the curved vs flat shoulders, among other smaller details. Here's a comparison: i.imgur.com/4539E1d.jpg

I cannot wait for this guy. I’ve had him ordered for almost two years now

Definitely go with the Battle Driod! He looks sweet. You could pose the Geonosis Battle Driod with 3PO's head attached. Lol That would be unique.

I'm so close to having two of my grails, this and DX19! I can't wait for them to ship

First Hot Toy that I ever pre-ordered! Cannot wait!

Bro this is way too awesome! I the love Clone Wars Anakin

The episode 3 anakin was my first figure about 3 years ago and I said that was gonna be my only hot toys lol I didn’t know what I’d get myself into.

Not huge fan of this particular figure, but the STAP with the battle droid looks awesome. The color of the fabric was a nice touch. I could easily see it standing out from the crowd in a clone wars HT Star Wars collection.

I wonder if the clone backpack will fit on anakin because the one time I can remember him riding the stapp was during the 2008 clone wars movie and he wears the backpack with jabbas son Rotta

He rode a stap that looked like this in both the clone wars movie and the citadel arc 👍

Had him PO'd for a long time. Still I was on the fence recently mostly due to my concerns regarding face sculpt and I had doubts about animated torso combined with Hayden's likeness. But in your review he looks so good I think I will hit the confirmation button. :)

Picked him up for 220 I couldn’t resist lol, he arrives today! Very excited

Recently rewatched the CW recently and he indeed used the STAP with this color but not with his "General Skywalker" armor.

I am really liking it and glad I ordered it with the STAP.

Your reviews are amazing 👍👍

This figure is amazing. Im not sure if people like this figure that much but i love it and its something different like the appereance. But i like it overall cuz its unique to my collection

Broooooooooooooo. This is phenomenal

I believe on a featurette or the commentary on the Clone Wars movie they mentioned that they designed Anakin's outfit foreshadowing Darth Vader's outfit

thank you for making this 🙏🏽

I love the cape!

also me favourite anakin skywalker too ! awesome review bros !

you got it the other way around, the bluish armor is based on battlefront while the segmented i¡one with the articulation is from the animated series

The "animated" chest piece definitely makes his neck look too short in my opinion, but the more realistic "battlefront" version looks pretty great. I also like the new hair style.

The STAP looks amazing. I ended up going for Anakin on his own though due to the size of the STAP, it would have taken up too much space for me and I'm saving £100 as well

I plan on putting the new hot toys battle droid on the stap when that hopefully comes out next year.

Great review! I'm collecting my first Hot Toys ever which is Clone Wars Anakin and I am super excited, but I decided to get the regular version without the STAP since I wouldn't have enough room to display it.

He had a pretty similar cape in the 2003 Clone Wars, I believe it's based on that

Awesome review! Awesome figure!

For phase 2 anakin I don't think they would have to release a hole new figure they would just need to do an accessory pack with a glove and a headsculpt simular to the phase 1 one but with slitley longer hair for the rots anakin figure

The secondary chest armor and cape are from his 2003 2D animated "Clone Wars" appearance.

justin i whatch all of your videos becuse your videos are best in unbox or review

You are right. Anikan was in the Clone Wars look with phase 2 Captain Rex. Specially at Umbara.

I think you have the Bsttlefront and animated armors mixed up. The flexible one that looks more scuffed up is actually the animated look and the other armor piece is pulled straight from Battlefront

14:56 this is the clone wars style not the battlefront ll style. The alterantive one is the battlefront ll one. You can tell by the extra armor plates.

He looks incredible. I wish I didn't have to cancel mine. With the head sculpt it looks like the hair is shorter but the face is my favorite Anakin the Revenge of the Sith one. Hopefully I can get him before he sells outs. Jango can't be to far behind him.

Very tempted to get him now as he's as relevant now as he's gonna get 😀 I could get either him or repaint Boba and it's really tough for me to decide.

With the cape makes the outfit such a perfect foreshadowing of Vader

Bro i love the poncho on him

Idk what episode or season but it’s one of the earlier seasons where him and obiwan are chasing asaj ventress and they ride those bc the big spider droid fell off the top of the building ( this doesn’t make sense but watch the episode it tells it better)

Geez this figure is pulling me more and more. I already have a Ep 3 Anakin but this one is looking neat too. Hmm. 🤔

This is so cool

YES FINALLY…i had been waiting for this video in AGES nice video tho now this makes me want all the 501st troopers including named ones like kix, arc trooper fives, tup, dogma, hardcase (rip hardcase) and the others who i forgor their names ;-; also ima put th damn poncho on rex

Always enjoy your insightful reviews Justin. Btw where did you order your rotating electric display stand from? I’ve looked for a seller in Aus but couldn’t really find one. Thanks!

3:30 That is actually more of the show design. The other one is actually the Battlefront 2 design. You can tell by how many divisions there are.

Watch these knowing I will never be able to adore one Anyone else feel that way

I think they are making the lightsabers lighter because they want them to glow brighter. I honestly wish they would switch to colored plastics. Like a red lightsaber made out of red plasticl ike a hasbro figure. I think it would look more realistic in the daylight.

Does anyone have any tips on the best way to attach the lightsaber arm without breaking anything? For me, the normal arm was difficult to get out of the mount and the lightsaber arm was just as difficult to get in and is now quite loose and wobbly.

Great review! Thank you so much for doing this. Question, would you say that the 2nd chest plate is more accurate to the live action Clone Wars Anakin from the Ahsoka TV-Show? 18:43

I like how this armor is a precursor to Vader's armor.

Badass!!!

Rex has never worn the phase 2 armour with phase 1 anakin but the other way around yes

love your content man! this is a beautiful figure.

Been a fan of Star Wars my entire life - not once did I put two-and-two together that his Clone Wars chest armor foreshadows his Darth Vader chest armor. 🤯😂 Great review!

I was just watching this video thinking about the fact u didn’t think he rode that scooter but if u look at the clone wars s3 eps 19 about 18 min and 45 seconds in the episode u do really see him riding it

I think the reason i’ve never been too big a fan of his clone wars appearance is because the dark maroon part underneath looks like a dress

I missed out on the 3rd episode anakin which was my favorite ver. So im hesitant on whether i should get him... I hope HT release a DX ver of ROTS Anakin with a new sculpt：(

Fun fact: Anakin used the STAP in The Clone Wars Movie (2008) at the B’Omarr Monastery.

Can you put the cape/chest plate on the episode 3 anakin? I’m guessing no given what you said about the heads. Great review!

I missed out on the Revenge of the Sith mullet figure. It’s selling on EBay around $600. I’m very much interested.

I totally agree about the head Sculpt. The Revenge of the Sith Anakin is spot-on I'd have to say that head sculpt the Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi all-perfect. They look exactly like the actors. We got some different hair so that's something I guess but it doesn't bother me in the least bit that they use the same Face sculpt. Unlike the Clone Wars a crimson Dawn Darth Maul which are exactly the same I spent a lot of time looking over both of them and comparing and the only thing different is the red on the Crimson Dawn Maul is brighter. I ended up switching the heads to my figures so now my Crimson Dawn head is on my Clone Wars Darth Maul. And I think it fits so much better because of the color on the body the Clone Wars Maul is brighter than the head sculpt he came with and with the Crimson Dawn one the body paint is darker so it fits his body paint much better. In my opinion.

Essa figura é muito boa, gostei muito! 👍😁💯

Nice!

I just put Anakin on flex pay at Sideshow before he sells out. There's a low stock warning on his pages.

I like the episode 3 one better but being that anakin is my favorite Star Wars character I have to get it.

By chance do you have any recommendations for the gauntlet issue? I don’t know if I should glue it together or not

cool!

Was hoping the cape is wired as well for more dynamic poses.

In the clone wars movie, Anakin knocks a droid off a STAP and uses it to get to the top of the fortress above and in an episode, he does the same thing in order to escappe from Ventress. While I do understand that people like TCW, I would prefer that they made a STAP in the ROTS color palate in order to make it accurate to the prequel trilogy however.

The head sculpt is the same as the Revenge of the Sith Anakin. But, his hair is shorter and the hair is a new scuplt.

Hey Justin! Love your videos, do we think hot toys will ever re-release any of the revenge of the sith figures because they just released some of the attack of the clone figures?

My arm for the lightsaber light up effect, can’t even use it :/, the elbow won’t pop out to switch it on mine, it’s too tight in there, any tips to remove?

I think Anakin ride the blue stap in s3e19 around 18:30-20:00 when he is saving the captive jedi Without the armor tho for sure

Anyone know how to remove the arm to install the light up hilt arm? Having a hard time and haven’t seen anyone with a solution. I get you’re supposed to pull it out but it’s not as easy as it sounds

I think the blade is getting lighter is so the lights work better

How do you pull out the Vehicle Handlebars without breaking them?
