Well I can confidently say this release is a disaster lol. I appreciate the comparison and the honesty about the true quality of this figure. Having the Hot Toys version next to it almost wasnt fair, absolutely blew it out of the water 🤣 Great video bro!

[@CollectingMadness]

I agree, I was a bit let down but at the same time couldnt expect much. Maybe this will bring more people to Hot Toys, its just nice to have a cheaper alternative for someone newer or wants an anakin that isnt selling an arm and leg.

[@aurska4061]

😂 I can’t with that hair.

[@CollectingMadness]

Lmao yea definitely needs work, I will see if I can save it

[@hubertushostihayuanta8873]

Anakin & Carrot Top.

[@CollectingMadness]

That seems to be the trend lmao that and chucky

[@otakusamurai]

Are you able to put the hot toys head on the chosen one body? Thank you

[@CollectingMadness]

Yes its a little tough but you can do it. I demonstrated it in the video

[@leonardrodriguez5932]

I got him recently, wanted the hot toys but as soon as I saw the resell price... This is definitely a good alternative if you get a sculpted hair Anakin head. With the head swap, it's great imo, NOT at hot toys level but good enough. if you don't want to spend the $600 for the legit one, $160 for this plus a $40 third party Anakin head and you got a great substitute. Hopefully they make a obi wan. Sculpted hair this time😂. Good review!

[@CollectingMadness]

I totally agree! The third party sculpts arent to bad either and pop that on itd be hard to tell from a distance with a good robe, its for sure a huge money saver and I also appreciate the kind words!

[@fvazquez856]

How long did you guys have to wait for him to arrive? I missed out on Anakin from ROTS, I have the Clone Wars Anakin but I wanted this guy so I decided to order him

[@Agent_Butterman]

great job on posing that hood on the wired robe.

[@CollectingMadness]

Thanks bro! Tried to replicate whats on film

[@Sothis-mm2zi]

I guess I’m the only one who is excited about his hair! As I’m making ooak dolls, so I find him absolutely perfect for cutting and styling the way I want it. I was always disappointed that Hot toys doesn’t make rooted hair, so this one wins me over at the first sight!😆 Thank you so much for your video, I will totally buy him now)

[@CollectingMadness]

Awesome to hear! Glad I could help. Its not my favorite but I still like him too and im definitely willing to work with the hair

[@chriswilliams3110]

That hair LMFAO

[@CollectingMadness]

Its an eye sore for sure lol

Alpha Toys Chosen One > Artisan Edition Anakin no cap high diff cancelling preorder now

Lol yoooo now that’s dedication 😂 I unfortunately missed out on artisan so I can take yours :D

[@collectingwithaj1898]

Bro bro listen I own the hot toys anakin Skywalker and obi wan kenobi hot toys plus the clone wars anakin Skywalker hot toys I think people are being a little hard on this anakin I own all the anakin Skywalkers customs sideshow and hot toys so this one to me is cool to me he will be my first rooted hair anakin so I'm excited to pick this one up I also own the real action heroes anakin Skywalker so idk good review though bro just please be a bit more easy on this anakin I think he is awesome :)

[@CollectingMadness]

I totally agree, I was just trying to give honest opinions about him cause he has flaws but im still keeping him as well because I myself missed out on ds Ani and this for me is a good temporary fit unless HT does another. I think he looks awesome in the display and some people hate on it more than they should lol

[@collectingwithaj1898]

@@CollectingMadness dam I feel bad well if I ever buy another revenge of the sith anakin Skywalker from hot toys I'll give him to u I'll keep u posted free of charge i just hope u have a p.o box or something and would make a video that u got him I'll be looking for one and if I can I'll buy one for u and mail him to u

[@CollectingMadness]

@@collectingwithaj1898 thats super awesome of you dude, I have my light side HT Ani though. You dont have to do all that. Id much rather give back to you guys, mu audience with giveaways and such. If I was ever given anything by anyone its always mentioned and shouted out, something like that wouldn’t go unnoticed.

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

I considered this guy for a hot minute. But I am not that much into Anakin, and I already put a lot of of work into the Hasbro 12 inch I already have (repainted head, leather tabard, new body, boot repaint). For the price, he was not worth it to me. And you have to be really good with hair. I really do not think you can get him to look decent with what he comes with. So you either have to reroot his head, or remove it and sculpt his hair (which I am both not great with). So I opted for the Arena Suit Boba Fett instead.

[@CollectingMadness]

That is a great pick up! A lot of people were happy with that fett, I think you made a good choice if you were on the fence about him anyways, plus you invested more into your custom so you did good in my book. I do plan at some point to swap for sculpted hair for this guy because I think the rooted for this guy it to much to work with plus its not the right color either

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

@@CollectingMadness I know you can color wigs with sharpies. But this hair also seems to have a really coarse texture, so I think it it impossible to get that wavy hairstyle Anakin has going on. I think it is a wise choice to sculpt his hair. Plus, with that you can get rid of the hassle having to restyle that hair every time you e.g. want to take pictures. However, the Alpha figure might be a good choice if for some reason you need several Anakins (dioramas, for example).

[@josepha6627]

the hair is so ridiculous that is funny and disturbing at the same time jajaja

[@CollectingMadness]

I have to agree, havent quite figured out what im doing with him yet, right now the hood is up like hes marching the temple lol. I really just hope HT does a 2.0 DS

Thats dope! I hope HT also does another version of ds Ani and possibly calls it Darth Vader from Kenobi. Im excited for that AOTC one too!

[@axelmachain6155]

I love it it is amazing

[@CollectingMadness]

Thanks! Not such a bad figure if you’re not wanting to spend the money on Hot Toys lol

Oh my lord lol

anakin at home

[@CollectingMadness]

Lol I guess so

[@salimel4835]

Dude the figure looks great the only thing off is the haircut!!

[@nicholasbazarow4135]

That hair is ridiculous ….. what art director signed that off !!

[@CollectingMadness]

Lol have no clue cause a lot of people complained on the prototype and I have no idea why they continued with it in the final production

[@nicholasbazarow4135]

@@CollectingMadness it blows me away. As these ideas and products aren’t cheap to produce and get going . So why do they ever get to this stage. This was a really good opportunity to make something great….. and they missed the ball by far on this one

The Alpha Toys version sucks

[@CollectingMadness]

Compared to Hot Toys? Yes lol it has its flaws but by itself its not to bad if you pose it and leave it alone. Especially if you hide the hair in the robe or replace it. Thanks for watching! :)

[@xeno2618]

@@CollectingMadness you’re right the only thing that’s wrong is his hair. He looks like Ron Weasly’s lost brother
