The Padawan learner and future Chosen One made a high-fidelity return to The Vintage Collection in early 2021. This reissue of Anakin Skywalker captures his travel attire from Attack of the Clones, worn during his assignment to escort Senator Padmé Amidala back to Naboo. While the original 2011 release was highly praised for its sculpt, this 2021 "Greatest Hits" refresh brought the figure into the modern era with significant deco upgrades, ensuring Anakin’s likeness is as sharp as his lightsaber skills.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Design & Traveler Silhouette: The sculpt remains the definitive version of Anakin in his "dating" outfit, featuring the textured tunic, vest, and signature ascot that won over the Senator. The layered look is achieved without sacrificing the figure’s lean, athletic profile.
- Photo-Real Deco: The 2021 reissue is headlined by the application of Photo-real technology. This provides a visceral, realistic update to Hayden Christensen’s likeness, capturing the youthful intensity and subtle conflict of the character far better than the original hand-painted 2011 version.
- Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The specialized ball-jointed ankles and swivel waist allow Anakin to achieve the graceful, lightsaber-ready stances required for the Battle of Geonosis or a romantic stroll through the Naboo meadows.
- Display Utility: This is the mandatory "protector" for any Naboo Retreat or Refugee Transport diorama. He is best positioned directly next to Padmé Amidala (VC33) or boarding a Naboo Star Skiff.
Accessories & Equipment
Anakin Skywalker comes prepared for a covert mission that turns into a galactic conflict. He includes his signature blue-bladed lightsaber (lit) and a separate hilt that plugs firmly into his utility belt for non-combat poses. A standout feature of the 2021 release is the updated soft-goods poncho; the fabric is lightweight and drapes naturally over his shoulders, allowing him to maintain his "peasant" disguise without looking bulky. The poncho is easily removable, revealing the fully sculpted and detailed vest and tunic underneath.
