Anakin Skywalker (Revenge of the Sith) — Star Wars The Black Series #ROTS 05
The Black Series Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith configuration — Phase 4 ROTS Collection #05, 2025. ROTS Jedi Knight with blue lightsaber. 18 joints. Single-boxed release. Collector guide.
Overview
Phase 4 ROTS Collection #05 is Anakin Skywalker in his Revenge of the Sith configuration — the Jedi Knight at the last moment before the turn, the black-robed combatant whose specific inner conflict ROTS depicts in its first half before resolving it at the Palpatine confrontation. Hayden Christensen at approximately 24, the Padawan braid gone, the full Jedi Knight robes in the dark configuration that has always communicated the direction his path is heading.
Blue lightsaber. 18 joints including butterfly shoulders. $24.99. 2025. Previously in a multi-pack; this is the single-boxed standalone release.
The Single-Boxed Release
The GF image slug confirms: Anakin-Skywalker-ROTS-Single-Boxed. Originally released in a multi-pack alongside ROTS Obi-Wan (#ROTS 04), the single-boxed version makes this ROTS Anakin available standalone in the ROTS Collection sequence. The two figures paired together — #ROTS 04 and #ROTS 05 — recreate their multi-pack origin and create the Mustafar duel’s two principals.
Anakin at ROTS: The Last Jedi Configuration
The ROTS Anakin configuration is the last one where he is still technically a Jedi — the black robes, the standard combat outfit, the blue blade. The turn happens in the film; the figure captures the Anakin just before it. The mechanical arm from AOTC’s arena injury is visible under the glove in the film, but this figure represents the external presentation of the character: the Jedi Knight whose appearance doesn’t yet show what’s about to happen.
The Red Line Anakin Arc Completed
The Red Line covered Anakin in the AOTC Padawan configuration at #110. The Phase 4 ROTS Collection #05 adds the next stage — the Jedi Knight, two years older, on the day everything changes. Together: AOTC Padawan (#110) → ROTS Jedi Knight (#ROTS 05). The arc between those two figures is the three years of the Clone Wars and the specific pressure that breaks him.
The Mustafar Duel Display
Anakin (#ROTS 05) and Obi-Wan (#ROTS 04) at consistent 2025 Phase 4 production quality create the Mustafar duel’s two principals — the teacher and the student who exceeds the teacher, at the moment the relationship ends. The single-boxed release of both ensures the display is achievable without acquiring a multi-pack.

Verdict
The Phase 4 ROTS Anakin at current production quality. Buy for the Mustafar duel display with Obi-Wan (#ROTS 04) or ROTS Collection completion.
The Multi-Pack Context
The ROTS Anakin’s origin in a multi-pack with Obi-Wan (#ROTS 04) reflects the specific pairing of their ROTS relationship — the teacher and the student packaged together, as they were deployed together in the film’s final act. The single-boxed release makes both individually available while the multi-pack logic survives in the ROTS Collection’s consecutive numbering.
Anakin’s ROTS Arc in Three Acts
ROTS structures Anakin’s arc in three recognisable acts. The Clone Wars general who opens the film — competent, charismatic, slightly reckless — is the hero version. The worried husband whose Force visions drive his decisions — increasingly desperate, increasingly manipulable — is the transition version. The Sith apprentice who executes Order 66 and storms the Jedi Temple — the turn completed — is the fallen version. The ROTS figure covers the first act’s appearance: the black robes of the general, the blue blade of the Jedi, before any of the subsequent acts begin.
Anakin’s Black Robes as Visual Foreshadowing
The ROTS Anakin’s black robes are one of the prequel trilogy’s most deliberate visual choices — the Jedi Knight in dark colours that communicate the direction of the arc before any plot development makes it explicit. Where Luke Skywalker’s ROTJ black communicates a completed arc (the darkness faced and transcended), Anakin’s ROTS black communicates an arc in progress toward a destination the audience already knows.
The Complete Phase 4 Anakin Arc
Phase 4 now covers Anakin from TPM child (#TPM 02) through AOTC Padawan (#110 Red Line) to ROTS Jedi Knight (#ROTS 05). Three configurations across three production collections, spanning 2024-2025. The most complete Anakin arc in Phase 4 history.
Anakin at #ROTS 05 is the last Jedi configuration of the character — the final figure before the line turns to cover Darth Vader configurations for the rest of his arc. The ROTS Anakin and the multiple Vader figures in Phase 4 together tell the complete story in plastic.
Anakin ROTS #05 is the figure that bridges the prequel and original trilogy displays. The ROTS Anakin on the left, the Phase 4 Darth Vader figure on the right: the before and after of the franchise’s central transformation, at consistent Phase 4 production quality.
No production variants documented. Standard retail. Lightsaber should be verified. The current Phase 4 ROTS Anakin, closing the prequel arc at Phase 4 production standards.
The ROTS Anakin closes the Phase 4 ROTS Collection at five figures — the Sith architect, the Order 66 commanders, and the two Jedi who will have to face each other one last time. Five figures covering the last film of Anakin Skywalker’s Jedi life, the last act before Darth Vader. The prequel trilogy ends here in Phase 4 plastic.
Anakin Skywalker ROTS at #ROTS 05 is also the moment where the Phase 4 prequel arc — TPM child, AOTC Padawan, ROTS Knight — hands off to the Darth Vader arc that Phase 4 covers separately. The ROTS Anakin is the threshold figure: buy him, then buy the Vader figures, and the transformation from Jedi to Sith is physically present on the shelf.
ROTS Anakin at #05 closes the ROTS Collection’s announced run. Five figures: the Sith who wanted it all, the clone commanders who executed his plan, and the Jedi who will have to live with the consequences. The prequel trilogy’s final act, in Phase 4 plastic.
The single-boxed release of both ROTS principals — Obi-Wan at #04 and Anakin at #05 — is Phase 4’s most collector-friendly packaging decision for the ROTS Collection. The teacher and the student, each independently available, at consistent production quality.
