Before Anakin Skywalker’s final transformation on the big screen in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, visionary concept artists explored various sinister designs to depict his descent into the dark side. One of the most captivating alternate looks features Anakin draped in dark, layered robes accented by a striking dark reddish‑purple lining — a mesmerizing vision of the Sith Lord he was destined to become.
Today, Hot Toys is incredibly excited to bring this fascinating design to life with the 1/6th scale Anakin Skywalker (Concept Art) Collectible Figure (Artisan Edition)! This figure features a finely crafted head sculpt that captures the likeness of Hayden Christensen, highlighted by mid-length slicked back curly hair implantation using wool material for exceptional realism. To capture Anakin’s internal conflict and fall to the dark side, the head sculpt utilizes separate rolling eyeballs and comes with two pairs of interchangeable eyeballs — allowing collectors to switch between his natural blue iris eyes and the piercing Sith yellow iris eyes.
The figure showcases a meticulously tailored costume inspired by the conceptual art design. At the top is a stunning wire-embedded black robe contrasted with a dark reddish-purple lining. Beneath the robe, Anakin dons an all-black look, featuring a leather-like microfiber material tabard, an outer tunic, a high collar under tunic, an obi, a highly detailed utility belt, and a pair of leather-like microfiber material long boots.
For weapons, he comes equipped with a white LED-lighted lightsaber hilt, a normal hilt, interchangeable red lightsaber blades, and additional blue lightsaber blades to represent his transition between the light and dark sides of the Force. It also comes with various interchangeable gloved hands and a specially designed figure base, allowing collectors to display Anakin in their favorite stance.
