Toy Anxiety Kitbash: EP. I - A Hot Toys Clone Wars S3-6 Anakin Skywalker Story

[@THZX-qk9fc]

I love how you store all your accessories. Gonna have to be more organized with mine as well.

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you! It’s a fun process because I enjoy organizing, but it’s worth it in the long run. Much better than rummaging through art boxes.

[@karascrow]

You have some of the best videos on KZbin for the 1/6 hobby. Would love to see a video showing how you would repair pleather peeling and damage to a figure like this. Or even Vader. Would be monumental for the hobby and the quality would certainly be top notch.

[@Obscurewatchcollector]

I second this, look forward to every video that comes out. There’s like 3 other channels out of 200 I’m subscribed to I feel that way about

[@BostonCollectors]

Interesting, repairing pleather… I’d more than likely have to intentionally buy a cracked/peeling leather component to see how I’d do it, because I’ve never had the issue. I maintain some of them though and can show that off if you’d like.

[@BostonCollectors]

@@Obscurewatchcollector Thank you for this! Makes us wan to go that much harder reading comments like these. One of the better people to ask what you think of content changes per series, etc. Hopefully it felt like a BC video, but did it feel different enough while being cohesive to what we do, in your opinion?

[@999darla]

@@BostonCollectorsplease do a maintenance video!! Love your channel

[@daniel_sc1024]

Thanks, Boston (I could really use one of your vids today!) He looks great, and it was a treat watching you put him together. I've kitbashed military figures, but not Star Wars.

[@BostonCollectors]

Not a problem, happy to help! Glad we were able to swing a video for you if you were feeling the heat of the day last week. I know this one was a bit of a slower paced video, but I'm glad it was enjoyable. I've always wanted to try piecing together a military figure. So much detail in a lot of those pieces by way of sights, etc.

[@daniel_sc1024]

@@BostonCollectors Lately I have been concentrating on WWII figures; they're relatively easy; DiD (Dragon-in-Dreams) has been producing a lot, and finding loose parts for them is relatively easy. The challenging part is aways making sure it's all correct (this insignia goes with this uniform, etc.). Modern military can be more complicated, they have so much more stuff! And the tiny wires for their communication equipment can be a nightmare. 😮

[@Obscurewatchcollector]

I foresee these parts getting rarer and pricier after this vid! 😂

[@BostonCollectors]

You know... I thought long and hard when I started this and asked myself am I ready to fight other people and/or bots for parts. I'm ready (for now). 😂

[@CollectingMadness]

What a beautiful, peaceful and relaxing video. The dedication and time to pull this off is real and im happy for you. This is making me miss my lightside Ani but making me impatient for artisan lol. I too used qui gons robes for ani they are the best.

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you, thank you! It took quite a bit, but we're just glad a lot of you found enjoyment from it even if it isn't something you'd try. Artisan Anakin should be dropping soon, but I'd give it a few months. Wish I were lucky enough to get one. Thanks for watching!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Superb vid mate!! And what a result, he turned out fantastic 👌🏻🔥🔥

[@BostonCollectors]

My man, thank you! One of my favorite customs so far. Love the way he came out. Thank you for watching! 🙌🏼🍻

[@marinakanti]

Wonderful work as always!! 🙌🏼✨

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you so much, Kanti! I appreciate you for taking the time out to watch! 😄🙏

[@미호-e6c]

I watched the video and took the same steps to build my own anakin it turned out great! Thank you for sharing the information 😊

[@BostonCollectors]

Awesome! Glad to help and happy to hear you're enjoying your version of him. It's a fun build and add to the evolution of the character in the display. Appreciate you for watching!

[@Ckcolombiano]

Amazing video! Please do a video of how to safely put away all the accessories. I’m trying to get rid of all the boxes due to space and I’m trying to figure out where I can store all the accessories so I know where things are at. Would love to see a video of that. Love your content. Keep up the great work!

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you so much, Colombiano! Absolutely, it's a video we've been looking forward to making for a while. Didn't think it was much interest until sharing it over on Reddit a while ago. Surprised to see! The goal is to cover it all from start to finish, so stay tuned! 😄🙌🏼 Thank you for the kind words and I appreciate you taking the time out to watch and share your thoughts with us!

[@RexinAround]

Unparalleled production quality as always

[@BostonCollectors]

🙏🏼 Thank you, thank you! 🙏🏼

[@113hudavid]

Love the way you organized your figure accessories. Do you mind do a video later showcasing that part?

[@BostonCollectors]

Absolutely, I don’t mind showing how I organize them. I wanted to throw out feelers before attempting, because I figured the interest was low. However, it’s definitely on our minds. 🙏🏼

[@Captain_Fordo77]

Thank you for making this video! I can’t wait to attempt this kitbash/custom

[@BostonCollectors]

No problem, thank you for watching! We'll post more of these as we continue. Some of them a bit more in-depth than this depending, but looking forward to it! 😄 Best of luck on your kitbashing!

[@darthkirbaybey8733]

Such an amazing video! I would definitely love to see a video about what you use to store your accessories!

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you, Kirbaybey! And absolutely, we’ll work something up and share everything for it. Just have to make time, but stay tuned! 😄🙏🏼

[@ValkyrieMagnus]

1st to watch! Awesome video! That is cool! You pretty much made your own Anakin figure and it was a lot cheaper than buying a ROTS Anakin.

[@BostonCollectors]

Hope you enjoy! 😄🙏🏼

[@meridiem]

Stunning video. Amazing work. Love it!

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you, thank you! I appreciate you for watching! 🙏🏻😄

[@etiennemorrissette5500]

One word: professional 👌🏻

[@BostonCollectors]

My man, thank you! 🙏

[@ImaginationHobbies]

That was awesome

[@BostonCollectors]

Glad you enjoyed it! We'll have more coming soon. Just trying to decide what the next installment will be. 🙏🍻

[@ForceOfVader]

Exquisite video! Perfectly done and really enjoyed watching this style of presentation! A+!

[@BostonCollectors]

Glad you enjoyed it! Over halfway through, I wasn't so sure if it was the right route to take. We're just glad to hear a lot of you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time out to watch. 😄🙏

[@clarkmccall4573]

You are the best Star Wars 1/6 reviewer on KZbin

[@BostonCollectors]

You're far too kind, Clark. Thank you for this, because we try our best! 😄🙏

[@Daion99]

Great video! Please make a video on how you manage the Hot Toys accessories.

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you, and will do! Just have to find the time to piece it together, but it's on the way. 🙏

[@sushiblee]

Awesome, I actually did the same exact thing, last year or so. It’s an awesome look

[@BostonCollectors]

Awesome! The portrait design is probably more suited for that version of him, to be honest. I finally completed mine in early October ‘23. A huge feeling of accomplishment. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼

[@ceejhaylopez]

Loved This, Always liked your videos bro always look so clean too! 🤩🙌

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed it! A bit different from what we usually do, but it felt like the better approach. 😄🙏

[@user-lk3dd5og1l]

Great work！Please make a video about how to organize the accessories!

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you so much! We'll work something up and share it when we can. 😄🙏

[@harshword8388]

You do everything to the upmost quality and care. I love it!

[@BostonCollectors]

We try our best. It's only right! 😄 Thank you so much, HarshWord!

[@andrewleeLP]

Amazing dude, the payoff was 1000% worth

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you! I'll hang tight for ATOC Anakin garbs before I say he's done for good, but he's great for now. Thanks for watching man! 🙌🏼

[@ToxikGamesX]

As a fellow collector, and one who lives near Boston, this is inspiring me to get a camera and film my hobby. Awesome video

[@BostonCollectors]

Hey there, neighbor! It’s never a bad time to start picking up a camera. Even better if you’re filming something you love. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼

[@ToxikGamesX]

@@BostonCollectors always, quality content. Can't wait to start filming, I'm 100% star wars figures and I think I'm gonna be building this Skyguy at some point.

[@コンロン-i4s]

I saw it in the collection video, like this video pro koon custom How was it made? I want to see that.😊

[@BostonCollectors]

I can look into Plo Koon, yeah. It was tough to go through with filming it because Hot Toys started creating the more counsel members. I'm sure they would blow my custom out of the water. 😂 - I'll see what I can do!

[@TheTerangbulan]

Storage video for sure!

[@BostonCollectors]

Sounds like a plan. It's winning the race so far, so stay tuned! 🙏

[@JavierDiaz-rv4iw]

Where can I get these parts to make Anakin? This is exactly what I want to do.

[@BostonCollectors]

I bought my parts from Toy Anxiety, but I'd keep an eye out on Monkey Depot as well. Toy Anxiety works a bit differently though, sometimes they'll go a while without parting anything out and on super rare occasions they'l part out grails. Monkey Depot, on the other hand, strictly part out new figures from what I gather.

[@808michiganjedi3]

What up doe! That was a 🔥@$$ video! Something I just might feel the need to do

[@BostonCollectors]

What up doe! 🙌🏼 Mahalos! My man, thank you, thank you. I appreciate you for taking the time out to watch. It was fun finding all the parts. Stressful, but fun. 😄

[@billyjenkins7951]

Is the Dark Side Anakin head compatible with the newer Clone Wars body? The proportions look a bit better on the newer body and it might be a worthy upgrade to my Dark Side Anakin. I do prefer the shorter hair too from the CW version, but I love those Sith eyes too much to replace it.

[@BostonCollectors]

Unfortunately, no. If you're comfortable enough to change the neck adapters, then you'd be able to though. His chest looks a lot fuller though on The Clone Wars body compared. Although, come to think of it... You could still buy The Clone Wars body and see if you could swap out the neck piece in the chest. I did it with my Captain Rex, so I can't confirm if it would work with a figure from 2018 and 2021. The process isn't too bad, but all you need is a screwdriver.

[@billyjenkins7951]

@@BostonCollectors That sounds like a good option. I'll definitely leave the head alone since it's such a grail piece, but I could investigate swapping out the neck piece in the CW body's chest... I would just have to research how to do that since I have never done anything like that. I could also just add padding and such to the original body, but I'll think on that. Thanks for your help, and for another wonderful video. You are my favorite 1/6 KZbinr for good reason :)

[@BostonCollectors]

@@billyjenkins7951 I'll have to look into doing a video showcasing that. I'm not sure when since I've already done similar things before with my custom Darth Maul. I'm sure something will come up. When it does I'll do a video on it. 😄 Happy to help and thank you! Hearing that is a huge compliment. I appreciate you! 🙏😄

[@Asianagent007]

Any specific place you get all your parts? Did you go through Facebook groups, eBay, or maybe some stores like toyanxiety and monkey depot? Edit: Now that I read the title closer I think that answered my question LOL

[@BostonCollectors]

Haha, all good, all good! I guess I should’ve said something about it verbally too. 😅

[@poky3933]

brug gotta chug da latte before getting ani wi it 😔🙏

[@BostonCollectors]

W Frozen coffee in chat, bruv. Gotta lock in ong 🔒🤞😤

[@skateforce3778]

Bro I love your attention to detail,but I bet the money you spent kit bashing you could have bought an Anakin outright.

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you! Buying any version of Anakin is one thing, but it isn't this one since Hot Toys never made it. Buying a Light Side Anakin outright would've been roughly $300, but you'd still need the right boots, portrait, body, belt, hands and gauntlet for this look. That would set you back much further if you were to tackle it that way.
