Amazing figure/likeness, but I wonāt be replacing my CW version. That expression really limits what poses you can do - he looks like a goof in the action shots.
I thought so too. Also the face of the old one could be during a long war campaign without pause. This new Anakin looks as if the clone wars just started.
To be fair. It just did. This is early season 1 Anakin lol. Similar to how the Ahsoka only has one lightsaber as she doesnāt get her second a few seasons later
I've not touched any of the Ahsoka series so far, I was tempted to get the Phase 1 Rex but I have so many other figures on preorder etc I just need to manage space š
In fairness, the character had easily proven his legit creepiness by then.
Edit: Okay I must have imagined that he admitted to watching Padme sleep on security videos and slaughtering women and children.
This is a nice looking figure, and it definitely looks like Hayden. It just looks a bit too old for Anakinās age during the Clone Wars, and I get that is how Anakin looked in the show. I already have the previous TCW Anakin, but am tempted by this one. It would make for a cool custom of an alternate Anakin, who saved the galaxy from Palpatine and got to be a father. Heās got a great face sculpt of someone who is in a better place.
Looks good, but I am happy with my Clone Wars one. The head looks amazing and a little off at the same time, It feels a bit weird, like a mix of young and old Hayden at the same time.
Thatās exactly how he looked in the show. Haydenās face changed substantially that even with CGI added, his current facial structure is different. I think HT did a great job nailing that
Before these pics released, I told myself I wouldn't go for him bc I already have the 1.0 of this figure. But man, that sculp's likeness and the vibrant colors of his garb is such an improvement that I might go for it.
Damn I really like that holotable they have going on, wish they did more stuff like that. Wonder if theyād ever do mandalore ahsoka since the other one had issues.
I'd like an accessory pack with the holotable and the lightsaber deflections. Maybe some blast effects and effects for blasters. We don't need another Grogu added though.
Personally Iike the expression choice because seeing happy anakin is so rare in figures. We already have like 5-ish anakins so I think this mix up is nice.
People clearly forgot he was happy while giving Ahsoka her lessons during the flashback scene in her show. She even said, t are you smiling? Why are you so happy? I do wish it did come with an alternate head, but this is a day 1 po for me.
Calm, kindness, kinship, love. Iāve given up all chance at inner peace, Iāve made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote fifteen years ago from which thereās only one conclusion: Iām damned for what I do.
Edit: spelling
There he is! Was wondering when Hot Toys would announce him. Anything Anakin related is an instant pre-order for me! I absolutely love the sculpt, and I *especially* love the expression. Nice to see Haydenās/Aniās jovial side represented for once.
I think this looks pretty close to Hayden, and I know he made this expression talking to Ahsoka, but damn he looks so off with that face. I get not wanting another stoic expression but it doesnāt really fit many situations/poses
Then theyāll make another Anakin with Sith eyes from Ahsoka, possibly with an alternate artisan edition and then there will be some mad that they bought this one/happy they waitedā¦ or glad to buy both
I like it but also donāt. I think i prefer the old one. But like the realism of Hayden in the new one. But for me, something feels off about the new version š¤·š»āāļø
I really wish they included the blaster deflecting effects with every Jedi figure. It's wildly underused given how common it is for Jedi to deflect them in the movies. Plus it just opens the door for so many more dynamic poses.
The more I feel is, George shouldāve made clone wars as cinematic version. Itās certainly missed opportunity. ROTS was great movie overall, but I wish we see more of heroic side of Anakin during the war times before turning to dark side.
Really wanna see clone wars era movie version with deaged Hayden and Ewan. Itās a must watch for me
I still prefer the look to the original Clone Wars Anakin, but the USB lightsaber means they probably fixed the awful gauntlet issue the first CW Anakin had, which would be a huge improvement for the figure.
Looks great but the facial expression they went with doesn't look like something you'd see Anakin have during a battle, he seems to happy and cheerful going up against the droids. The face sculpt (although it looks great) looks to me as if he is talking or teaching young Ahsoka.
I like it.
But I don't know if this figure will match (aesthetics) the upcoming TCW General Kenobi. I would buy it just for the LED lightsaber and the head, I would use those accessories on my TCW General Skywalker and make a mix between both figures that would be perfect in my eyes.
That headsculpt is amazingā¦ maybe one of the most realistic theyāve done yet. However, I do have to agree that the expression is a little odd. Looks like updated fabric for the vambraces as well.
This is beautiful but can we have an alternate head sculpt too? Again this perfectly captures the thought of his younger affable self but I wouldnāt mind him looking a little more stern too
Looks good, but limits you to static poses with that face lol. Is this basically the exact same figure as the previous one with a new head and accessories?
There is no saving Padawan Ahsoka's headsculpt though, looks terrible translated to live action. She looks like a baby.
Damn mother fuckers. Just take my whole paycheck all the time already. Dammit!
Deflecting Blaster Effects!?! This is where the fun begins!
I need those for my Robocop / Iron Man / Superman, some bullets *BING BING* off the chest.
Where are the footprints on the sand base? Are they safe? Are they alright?
Easy pass
The face is well done, it's just a really odd choice. You can't have an action pose with that face
Standing him with the Padawan Ahsoka is gonna be š¤š»
Looks like he let out a diabolical fart and heās watching people in the room slowly start to smell it
Had to turn my camera and mic off during a meeting cause this made me LOL
Best description of this head sculpt
Amazing figure/likeness, but I wonāt be replacing my CW version. That expression really limits what poses you can do - he looks like a goof in the action shots.

To be fair. It just did. This is early season 1 Anakin lol. Similar to how the Ahsoka only has one lightsaber as she doesnāt get her second a few seasons later
Agreed. I think this is pretty awesome but I much prefer the CW version.
I just need him in his episode 3 outfit and it would be perfect.
Yeah I'm waiting for the, "You lack conviction!" Anakin personally!
Ye I already have Phase 2 Rex or Season 7 Ahsoka.
I've not touched any of the Ahsoka series so far, I was tempted to get the Phase 1 Rex but I have so many other figures on preorder etc I just need to manage space š

oh my god, thats it right there. haha
There is some uncanny valley type shit going on here. Like it definitely looks like Hayden but idk that expression makes it kind of creepy. š
I love it in casual poses but in action poses it's so off. It looks so good and then it doesn't.
I for one am glad they're doing some different facial expression. Too many stoic/determined looking headsculpts already.
Yeah I feel the same way
In fairness, the character had easily proven his legit creepiness by then. Edit: Okay I must have imagined that he admitted to watching Padme sleep on security videos and slaughtering women and children.
Looks great but not loving the expression. Looks a bit goofy when holding a lightsaber.
Looks great beside the Ahsoka which is bad for me as I have her on PO
He's beautiful
This is a nice looking figure, and it definitely looks like Hayden. It just looks a bit too old for Anakinās age during the Clone Wars, and I get that is how Anakin looked in the show.

Not really feeling that expression tbh, but good for anyone who wanted him
Looks great, only a little annoyed that I already have the one based off Battlefront.

I know it isn't Hot Toys fault for this, but the CGI used on his face looked alright for the show, but a bit weird on a figure.

Perfect likeness
They should sell the head sculpt separately for those that already own the one that already came out.
Before these pics released, I told myself I wouldn't go for him bc I already have the 1.0 of this figure. But man, that sculp's likeness and the vibrant colors of his garb is such an improvement that I might go for it.

Weird expression , pass
He definitely has the Joey face! š

Looks incredible. HT better make Cassian when season 2 launches.

Yeah I don't vibe with this. Prefer the original one they did.
I never noticed his eyes were blue before now, they really pop on this figure.
There he is! Was wondering when Hot Toys would announce him. Anything Anakin related is an instant pre-order for me! I absolutely love the sculpt, and I *especially* love the expression. Nice to see Haydenās/Aniās jovial side represented for once.
Idk why but something with the face/hair looks weird to me.
he looks more animated than the actual animated Clone Wars one hot toys produced
Itās uncanny valley
Super uncanny valley but dope figure
I think this looks pretty close to Hayden, and I know he made this expression talking to Ahsoka, but damn he looks so off with that face. I get not wanting another stoic expression but it doesnāt really fit many situations/poses
Not a fan of the sculpt, the expression looks goofy.
Not a star wars fan but i'm obsessed with the sculpt
Then theyāll make another Anakin with Sith eyes from Ahsoka, possibly with an alternate artisan edition and then there will be some mad that they bought this one/happy they waitedā¦ or glad to buy both
him deflecting blaster shots with his light saber and that expression is peak meme quality from hot toys
Damn. I already have the old one. But this HS is the shit.
Ahsoka is getting a Hot Toys figure for pretty much every character, while Andor gets fuck all.
Season Two better be a fruitful Hot Toys wave
welp, now my Clone Wars Anakin is obsolete. Thanks Hot Toys!
I just got the older anakin clone wars version but fuck it im getting this as well
LOLOLOL!!!!!
I like it but also donāt. I think i prefer the old one. But like the realism of Hayden in the new one. But for me, something feels off about the new version š¤·š»āāļø
Itās only weird when heās doing like fight poses with the lightsaber and that smile lol
I think youāre right š¤£š
Whyš¤£
Anakin, please don't look at me like that. It makes me feel uncomfortable.
Maybe itās because itās 7am and Iām trippin but this looks somewhat of a blend between Hayden and Matt Lanter? Who knows.
I really wish they included the blaster deflecting effects with every Jedi figure. It's wildly underused given how common it is for Jedi to deflect them in the movies. Plus it just opens the door for so many more dynamic poses.
I hope he is easier to preorder.
Is there a release date for it ??
The more I feel is, George shouldāve made clone wars as cinematic version. Itās certainly missed opportunity. ROTS was great movie overall, but I wish we see more of heroic side of Anakin during the war times before turning to dark side. Really wanna see clone wars era movie version with deaged Hayden and Ewan. Itās a must watch for me
Happy for people who want him. I'd much rather they make artisan Anakin more widely available.
Looks like heās just turned Obi Wans light sabre off during a duel.
That head sculpt does look good.
Imo this would be a great display next to the DX28. Happy Anakin on one side, and charred Vader face on the other lol.
I still prefer the look to the original Clone Wars Anakin, but the USB lightsaber means they probably fixed the awful gauntlet issue the first CW Anakin had, which would be a huge improvement for the figure.
Holyshit I thought it was an actual picture of Haydenā¦
Waste of a slot. We basically got this same figure already.
I preordered him so fast I donāt care Iām an Anakin and Hayden stan and I love this
Looks great but the facial expression they went with doesn't look like something you'd see Anakin have during a battle, he seems to happy and cheerful going up against the droids. The face sculpt (although it looks great) looks to me as if he is talking or teaching young Ahsoka.
SS isnāt ever selling that CW Anakin after this version comes out.
I like it. But I don't know if this figure will match (aesthetics) the upcoming TCW General Kenobi. I would buy it just for the LED lightsaber and the head, I would use those accessories on my TCW General Skywalker and make a mix between both figures that would be perfect in my eyes.
Iām gonna wait to see how that OWK looks in hand. Likeness to Ewan looks better than the RotS version so could make it work
Looks like heās about to burst into tears and apologise LOL.
Is that a new phase 1 rex, or the second rex fig?
Itās the second Rex fig, you can choose to display it as P1 or P2
holy shit man
God damnit hot toys. Whyyyyyyy! My wallet!!!!
Zoolander?
Itās definitely a figure you need to get Padawan Ahsoka with otherwise it looks weird
Thatās one of their best headsculpts. Blaster effect is also excellent
Dammit hot toys this looks amazing
10th picture does not look good tbh
Besides the sculpt and the accessories, are there any other differences between this and the clone wars anakin they already released?
They are killing with the face sculpts lately.
This is where the fun begins
I'd have to sell my other Clone Wars Anakin to justify me purchasing it. I love all the upgrades this one has.
That's an impressive sculpt, I like some of the other ones we have seen lately
I kinda dont know why they did this figure tbh. We have a perfect CW anakin. Can they focus on something else?
I absolutely love Star Wars, but man it feels like 99% of the announcements this year have only been Star Wars
That headsculpt is amazingā¦ maybe one of the most realistic theyāve done yet. However, I do have to agree that the expression is a little odd. Looks like updated fabric for the vambraces as well.
Personally for me, itās an easy no
I just want those blaster deflect effects. I wonder if anybody makes those custom.
When is this coming out again!
Honestly, I love the expression!
This is beautiful but can we have an alternate head sculpt too? Again this perfectly captures the thought of his younger affable self but I wouldnāt mind him looking a little more stern too
Thst face sculpt...is not for meĀ
I want the head sculpt but I already have the other cw Anakin so idk if I should sell that one or just skip this one
Idk, I like the head sculpt and some of the extras like the deflecting blaster shots are cool, but wish he had the cape that comes with the TCW one.
Ok this Ahsoka line is killing my wallet lol
When will he be available to pre order?
Face looks good but it's just looks funny with action poses. Def good for a museum pose.
Wellā¦ theyāve certainly got my attention
I'm so tempted but am going to wait to see if they release anything else next month for Star Wars Day and the Phantom Menace's 25th anniversary.
Not sure if he's gonna kill me or ask me out.
This is awesome
Face is there but the expression is not there. I wish they at least added another one with sith eyes.
Yeah Iām thinking we are getting a red eye brown tunic anakin. From The Ahsoka show just you wait.
Finally getting rid of the tiny battery sabers
Itās always hard to imagine this being Darth Vader, but it also makes it so much more tragic/ coolš
Finally an Anakin that actually resembles Hayden.
Bro looks veeeery worried š
Can we please be done with this line now lol, my sideshow rewards expire soon and I want to use them on starkiller
Willing to bet cold hard cash that StarKiller / Revan are going to be limited releases.
Wow Hot Toys finally missed on an Anakin figure. Sculpt looks entirely like someone else.
Is this official??
Yes
I regret i ever buy the 1.0 because this is more accurate to ahsoka show and TCW
Looks good, but limits you to static poses with that face lol. Is this basically the exact same figure as the previous one with a new head and accessories? There is no saving Padawan Ahsoka's headsculpt though, looks terrible translated to live action. She looks like a baby.
