This Anakin Skywalker Premium Format figure has layer after layer of clothing including an undershirt, black crepe tunic, brown crepe tunic, and finally a faux leather tunic surrounded by a real leather belt with metal details. The materials used to represent the leather are excellent and the drape of all fabrics hang beautifully. The outer Jedi (or Sith) cloak has a wire bottom for super posability. Sideshow has gone the extra mile to provide this particular collectible with authentic and movie accurate costuming.
Anakin's stance is intimidating and daunting. When displayed with the Sith eyes portrait, the figure looks as if he jumped out of Episode III into your home. It seems as if the piece was inspired from the scene where Anakin attempts to choke Padme. His self doubt, anger and fear are captured well in his expression. In my own opinion, the standard portrait doesn't capture these feelings as well.
Surprisingly, the exclusive version is still available at Sideshow Collectibles as of this posting. Grab yours now, as he won't dissapoint you at all. This figure is honestly more impressive than the popular Darth Maul Premium Format figure and looks great displayed next to both General Grievous or the Asajj Ventress Premium Format figures. The figure is heavier than other PF figures, so be prepared to pay a little more in shipping costs.
