I knew it, Hasbro DID IT AGAIN...

Another great figure screwed up (IMO)...

The prototype:

The Final Product:

Why Hasbro had to add those stupid "soft goods" and a Jedi Kick" feature screwing him up totally.

The only thing I can say is...

What a HUGE dissapointment!
Thumbs down for Hasbro this time.

It might just be me, but I think the "prototype" and "final" are the same.

So you have this figure in your hands, and can tell that they screwed the figure up totally with the kicking action huh? As long as it doesn't hurt the leg articulation, which from what I have heard it hasn't, then cool. Everyone starts complaining whenever they see prototypes, and not waiting til they have it in their hands. That is not the finished Anakin figure Rheen. Whenever you see a figure on display like that at a convention, it is either a paint master, first shot, or packaging test shot. Note the magnet, that will be painted over, or actually inserted into the hand, on the released version.

Everyone is complaining the Jedi figures can't sit down good, because of the skirts from their tunics. So what is wrong with using soft goods on one figure. From what I have read the soft goods were added, not only to be movie accurate, but so he would fit in the Speeder. That's good for everyone that wants an Anakin that can do that. I'll take soft goods whenever it's needed, as long as it's only used occassionally. Plus he has 13+ articultaion points.

JarJar, sorry to dissapoint you , but that figure IT IS the final product, I can see you don´t check out Ebay too often, huh?!

If do a search for that figure you´ll see that there´re seller with that figure in Hand.

And I don´t need those "kick and stuff " features, bcuz I don´t play with my figures, and yes the right knee joint it ruined the
sculpt for me.

Just my opinion.

Yes, I checked Ebay. You mean the ones that were posted by star_wars_paul? They say that they are "In Hand" but if you read the fine print, you will notice this:

This Figure is confirmed, to be delivered to us & In our hands by the end of NEXT WEEK. We will ship it straight to you as soon as they arrive!!

So it's not in hand, he's falsely advertising that it is, and also using a picture from one of the collector's sites. Take a look at the following link, and read his whole posting. If you look at almost all of the auctions that have him, they are using pictures from a website.

What does it add to the figure to have those "soft goods" fabric dealies anyway? I much rather buy the prototype.

**corporal AMF** · 07-09-2002

IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY ENOUGH TOU'LL SEE THAT THE PROTO DOESN'T COME WITH THE SOFT GOODS, SO IF YOU LIKE YOU CAN TEAR THE FABRIC APART AND VOILA!

**DarthSetnom** · 07-09-2002

yeah but it will most likely look lame after you take it apart...

On the other hand, i like this figure! he looks good in the package. We'll just have to wait and see if he can stand...
