The Clone Wars
2009 Wave 8
CW42
Anakin Skywalker (Cold Weather Gear)
Accessories
Anakin Skywalker is packaged with a lightsaber, goggles, and removable hood.
Look and Feel
Like the cold weather Obi-Wan Kenobi figure they both scream Empire Strikes Back. Anakin looks more like a call back to Han Solo but that depends on what color you think Solo's jacket is. Yet again we get a good likeness of the character we see in the episode Trespass, but for me the face looks a little off. Perhaps it is because I can't see his hair. The outer jacket is puffed out more than Obi-Wan's and it still impedes movement of the legs and it slightly restricts arm movement. The goggles work well on this figure which amazes me as I usually hate how goggles are done on action figures. I am not a big fan of the hood on this figure because it is down. I would have loved another one like the Obi-Wan Kenobi figure. Speaking of which from the waist down, these two figures are identical except the paint of course.
Articulation
Anakin Skywalker has ball-hinged joints in the neck, shoulders, elbows and knees. He also features a swivel joints in the wrists, waist, and hips. Sadly yet again we get a Clone Wars figure without ankle articulation.
Overall Reaction
I like all the Trespass episode figures together so I enjoyed picking this figure up. My son is very excited for it to snow so he can take his Anakin out and recreate some of the episode. Really bring lots of memories of me back in the early 80's and lugging my AT-AT out into to snow.
