That's a good guess. Yeah, that could be what it is. But since I can't see them making a translucent blue Anakin figure, I wonder if it wasn't going to be the original Anakin, but since Lucas took him out of the movie, maybe the figure got rejected.
They probably just made him look like any other figure. As for headsculpt, who knows? If this were a real figure, I'd imagine it would come with both versions...
I also think this could be the original Shaw Anakin. SS doesn't mind that he is out of the movies. They also told they would make the original Max Rebo, and they are also not in the movies anymore
This is awesome. Shame on Lucasfilm! Hasbro did get away with this, why couldn't Sideshow? Even as a con exclusive or something? Maybe if we make enough of an uproar, we can change Lucas' mind. Or just wait a few months and let him change it himself
I think this was their master plan, but the proto up for auction to show how many people want it, and they're going to print out the thread and show it to LFL.
