1/6 Hot Toys - Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Anakin Skywalker (& STAP) Collectible Figure

[guyver1]

Although it is tempting…I know there is shorter hair version with armor coming …soooo…hmmm decisions

So it finally happened today, one of our 2020/2021 figures hit the waitlist. The non exclusive and non STAP version. The episode probably pushed a lot of collectors to bite the bullet.

I wonder why people choose the non-exclusive version when it’s the same price.

Popcultcha would be kicking themselves right about now....

If you gotta get rid of stock ..

About the likeness, I think I agree. At the time i thought it was outstanding, but with the last two announced Anakin sculpts this one is definitely inferior.

lmao I was thinking the same thing?

I just thought it was neat that finally one of these figures hit waitlist, but no idea why collectors chose the non-exclusive version.

To me this suggests it’s not typical Hot Toys collectors buying it as any HT collector would know the differences and go for the exclusive.

Or it could also be online stores buying them up as they don't have access to the exclusive versions.

I had the alternate armor with cape on since I bought him but it was time to switch it up.

Be curious to see the AOTC sculpt on this figure when that one comes out. Not entirely accurate but still.

I do find it interesting as well. I’ve noticed it happen with other figures over the years.

Mando Luke is a noticeable one currently. Standard of both versions are on waitlist but exclusives are available.

If I had to guess, it’s possibly some combination of:

• Casual buyers not knowing.
• Some just not noticing in their rush to purchase.
• People misinterpreting what collector and exclusive versions mean.
• Intentionally not wanting clutter (ie. an accessory they won’t use - brings to mind that person who was throwing them away).
• Sideshow having more units of the exclusive.
• Sideshow offloading standard versions to other retailers for slower sellers.

If you still haven’t bought any of these, figures you can basically get one for free now.
