Join me for my thoughts on the newest Hot Toys Anakin Skywalker! Do we need this? Is the last version cooler? This OR That... Or Both? #hottoys #anakin #starwars #ahsoka

I am ok with both looks. The angry, determined look captures his intensity. The new look captures his benevolent, caring and serious look

Yes both looks are great! Depends on the display for him for sure!! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!!

I see it as, the 1.0 is him in the later part of the war and he's pretty much over it. While the 2.0 is him at the earlier half of the war and he's more optimistic. 😆😆😆😆 At least that's my headcanon.

I’m a fairly new collector. I have the 1.0 Clone Wars Anakin. This is the first time a 2.0 has come out after I bought the initial one. I like the head sculpt. It really like like Hayden. While I’m tempted, I probably will stick to the one I have.
@TheBenThomasShow3 ай бұрын
Honestly if you're new to collecting I would stick with the one you have already! There will be so many other cool figures you want. Trust me hah having multiple of the same character can be cool especially if it's your main favorite! But if you're new to it, I say expand the collection of characters you want the most first and then start dialing in the beat ones as they get more reviewed and available.

Honestly, I’m quite glad you’re doing the comparison between the new and older version of this as I’m in between both and I have already attack of the clones Anakin that’s on its way and the revenge of the Sith from 2018. I also have the attack of the clones padme so I just kind of want something that’s gonna look well with all of those that I have. The facial expression is something I’m a little unsure of on the new one. I think it’s exactly like Hayden. (he makes the same facial expressions even in person when I met him.😂) and it’s definitely upgraded from the older sculpt. However, on the older sculpt, I like how it’s more stern and both of the chest plates that it comes with. Then you have light sabers of course the USB would be a lot brighter and probably easier to install as I never use the LED one yet so I don’t know the difference really but sides USB is going to be easier from what I’ve heard.. I mean at the moment they are exactly the same price and I could be a little crazy, but I think the older comes more with accessories than the newer one but to be honest, I probably won’t be using any of the accessories besides different hands and maybe the holograms but I don’t know because I’m still new to collecting these so I don’t know the dues and do for long-term effects

@@TheBenThomasShow ofc! And thank you! Yeah, I like to have kind of like an evolution in my Star Wars corner where I have some of the original posters and then stuff that I have when I met Hayden . The only thing is I see some people talk about the old version having problems with the gauntlet on the right arm, not closing. Personally, that would probably irritate me because I haven’t even posed the ones I have already because I’m afraid of breaking them. They’re stuck in a museum pose🤣. However, I do like the clone wars one and would like to have it in my collection since I’m looking for an Obi-Wan as well.

Well Buc-ee Boy (and I say that with platonic affection)....I LIKE IT! But I can see where most people who already have the previous Clone Wars Anakin would pass on it. I would too if I weren't such a Vader/Anakin fan. Another sand base ....thankfully I don't use their bases.

I see a pattern here. I don't have Vader or Anakin. The Obi-Wan Vader is the one that I want. And this is the Anakin I want. This is was the perfect marriage of Clone Wars and live action Anakin.

i dont have either but id choose the new one hands down. I never understood why so many people loved the old sculpt so much, it resembles anakin but it never looked like hayden to me. This new sculpt and the artisan sculpt are 100x better. I only need one Anakin in my collection, and i was lucky enough to get the artisan pre-ordered.

@@TheBenThomasShow fair as well, they both look good. The thing is, the previous version looks like him 20 years ago as it should and the new one looks how he looks now (even if they de-aged him a bit in the show, not sure). But people who have met him recently say that this new face sculpt is on point. And we have plenty of angry looking anakins haha
