I've heard from people who have seen the figure on display in HK that the material is nylon just like the new Dark Empire Luke they announced. Weird that they didn't advertise it for this one though.
The Tobey headsculpt looks decent. But the mask on the other hand... what the hell happened? So it seems for some reason they moved the lenses further up the head closer to the upper webbing lines on the front of the mask, while the prototype had them closer to the bottom. This change is also...
Pleather is more high maintenance than leather because it degrades much faster, I'd rather pay the higher price for a figure that lasts. Having to pay $70+ for a leather Anakin tunic once yours degrades really sucks.
Which makes it even weirder that for this "Artisan" Anakin they went back to...
It's not the RO helmet. The RO helmet has a pointed middle brow part similar to the ANH helmet, but this one is more curved like the ROTJ and ESB helmets are.
Possibly because of a potential sculpted 2.0 with improved tailoring for the ROTS anniversary? This figure was essentially a reissue of the old one with just the new head and USB saber, so I can't imagine they'd miss out on using this sculpt again.
What's up everyone, I'm a newish collector that's been lurking a bit on here for a few months but figured I'd just go ahead and make an intro post. I'm a huge Star Wars fan who mainly collects Hot Toys. Excited to be more active on here and interact with everyone!
