Hot Toys Anakin Skywalker DX "Artisan Edition" 1/6 Figure Revenge of the Sith

[chrisstbh]

Seriously? That's ******* stupid. Here's this new line with rooted hair but hardly anyone will be able to own it.
I was never planning on getting this but this still annoys me on principle.

Excited for the website to crash and miss out on it through no fault of my own.

Nice figure. But making a premiere figure of a new line a limited exclusive is moronic.

HT are basically saying they can't mass produce high quality rooted figures in the volumes that we would like, so this isn't going to become the new norm.

Yea that's exactly what I was thinking as well. They probably could if they sent them out in batches in the way that InArt did for TDK Joker. But with how many figures HT makes, they probably don't want to clog up any production line and delay their other figures while focusing on trying to get out these new DX releases.

Oh that's it im keeping my old anni then lol. to whom ever chases this figure. may the force be with you

This is going to go for crazy money on the aftermarket.

 

[Bacara]

The “tooth” “prong” is missing from Dooku’s lightsaber and again only one of the sabers lights up!

 

[Jbeltram4]

This is going to be worse than Stealth Cap 2.0.

 

[Deathstalker]

This is going to be worse than Stealth Cap 2.0.

And MORE expensive.

 

[jimbean]

Any idea on price?

Any idea on price?

Retail or the inevitable aftermarket?

Retail or the inevitable aftermarket?

I’d guess $450 retail

Specs are confusing, no shock lol:
- One (1) LED-lighted red lightsaber (blue light, battery operated)
- One (1) blue lightsaber blade in motion (attachable to the hilt)
- One (1) Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber hilt
- One (1) Court Dooku’s red lightsaber
- One (1) red lightsaber blade in motion (attachable to the hilt)

**Light up function operated using USB power

 

[jimbean]

Retail or the inevitable aftermarket?

Yeah just the release price

 

[Zurdo95D]

oh great... another one that will freakishly difficult to purchase. Considering my luck with these, I will note be able to get one even IF I'm logged in and ready to go. looks amazing regardless and much better than their WW figure. Though no mention of real leather here.

Yeah these super limited exclusives feel a like a bit of a damper.

Hot Toys reissues a figure to make it more available for people who missed out: "Wow **** you Hot Toys for ruining my figures after market price!"

Hot Toys puts out a limited figure: "Wow **** you Hot Toys for not letting me get this figure easily!"

Scaling up?

 

[DarthAlias]

3000 is a trash move. We all know how this will go. I hope it’s not a lottery like Iron Man.

 

[fatmarco]

So where will this even be purchasable?

This isn’t a reissue though and making it limited is a ****** move. I don’t care about exclusivity or after market value, I just want the damn figure.
