Title: TCW Anakin Skywalker (Cold Weather Gear)
Post by: wraithnine on January 30, 2010, 12:03:43 PM

hello again, wraithnine presents another review

I also picked this up at StarActionFigures for £7.95

This time its the turn of Anakin Skywalker in his "blimey! its slightly nippy outside ..gear"
(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn93/nosaj37/30012010220.jpg)
Once again this figure includes the Nahdar Vebb redemption form.
this version of Anakin was seen in the Clone Wars Season 1 episode "Trespass"
(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn93/nosaj37/30012010221.jpg)
It is strange that we do not see the cold weather Obi Wan in this wave , we dont see cold weather Capt Rex either .....
ARTICULATION:
Articulation wise once again is a mixed bag  anakin has ball-jointed head ,shoulders,elbows and knees and swivel waist and wrists and once again no ankle articulation .
(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn93/nosaj37/30012010222.jpg)  (http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn93/nosaj37/30012010225.jpg)
his goggles and collar are also removable ,it would have been nice if Hasbro had included a hood up piece ,but i suppose you cant have everything ...
PAINT APPS:
these are utterly faultless , nice and precise ,with no mistakes ..
(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn93/nosaj37/30012010227.jpg)  (http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn93/nosaj37/30012010229.jpg)
(http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn93/nosaj37/30012010230.jpg)  (http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn93/nosaj37/30012010232.jpg)
Anakin also comes with his one piece lightsaber .
and he has removable goggles.
i would give this figure a 8/10    a good solid effort from Hasbro.

GREAT JOB, JAY!!! I didn't know that he had knees, it's a shame that hasbro is keeping ankles away from us like children's Advil to a 4-year-old... :'(

Good review Jay. Almost makes me wish I was collecting Clone Wars. Too bad they didn't give it the full super arty treatment. Time for me to get this one and the other new ones up on the front page. Once again, nice work Jay.

Looks to me like you are getting good with these forum reviews. I will be swapping out our fp ones with these later on this weekend or early next week.  I do like to hear your take on Clone Wars figs.

I like the look of this one...for custom material!  A little slice here, trim there, paint everywhere, and we have some interesting characters!  Nice review Jay!
