I like the mix between the real and animated style they used on the face sculpts. It makes for a unique appearance and gives a great transition into toy form.
I should say too that I asked the associate and they confirmed that these have no system street date so they will throw them on shelves as soon as the individual store gets them.
Seeing that trio on the rotating stand at the end is incredible. Hoping we get an early season Ahsoka too, in her season 2-5 outfit with the green sabers.
I had the opportunity to purchase this figure a few weeks ago but I had only enough cash to purchase one figure. I selected ECHO. I was so fortunate to have stumbled across All four at TARGET and they're all outstanding. Anakin was my second choice and after watching this review I cant wait to find him. Personally I'm hoping for a boxed re-release
Man I want this figure the most!!! Congrats on finding them! I haven’t been able to find any of the new clone wars figures. I went to 3 target stores like 3 times this week. I will keep trying as I have been wanting clone wars anakin for so long along with clone wars Maul.
Have you been giving Target employees the codes/barcodes? Having them check the back? So sorry to hear you've been having no luck finding these. -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement I was actually able to find an Anakin yesterday evening! Like finally! Some of the employees of the different targets I went to actually told me that they and many other targets are going to receive some shipments of the figures on May 30th
Great video review and it's a cool figure but the face looks like a grumpy Stewie Griffin from family guy or something.. doesn't give me Anakin vibes at all lol...
I got echo today!! Went to target in the morning and the employee said to come back in the afternoon when the toy person comes and pulls them off the truck around noon. Went back and sure enough they weren’t there and I had to ask another person and show the code and he brought it out!
Another great review. I love this version of Anakin. It’s nice to be able to find figures in the wild. Looking forward to the Echo review. Keep up the good work.
Awesome find and review! Called my local Target and they said next week it shows them arriving along with Major Bludd so fingers crossed I can get lucky!
Hey hey, nice job! glad you guys got it rather than a scalper. In saying that you have showed us your passion and how excited you guys were to get these. Youve got a piece of exclusive Star wars hasbro merchandise
@@OutOfTheBasement I think it would be kinda weird if it had a full on Hayden face. Clone Wars Anakin sounds and acts different. I can see why people would want them to just commit to Hayden or animated though. I wonder if the archive Anakin heads will fit. Love that first pose you had with the slight crouch and lightsabre up high
@Riley Cr055 True, I definitely agree with your logic. I think the heads could swap but it would take some effort. They have different neck articulation. Someone braver than me is gonna have to try that out tho lmao. -Nate
I can see Hayden in there, but it feels like they really did empathize how young Anakin in supposed to be in TCW - he is only 19 after all, so I think the youthful look does work. Check out photos of teenage Hayden Christensen and it's pretty close! Can't wait to get him in hand.
I am super happy that you managed to get at least two out of the wave so far, fantastic😎. I think the figure looks great, i am a little disappointed with the face sculpt since Hasbro has been doing such stellar work of late but apart from that Anakin looks pretty awesome. I am so looking forward to receiving this wave and i hope you both can snag the other two figures to complete the set.Awesome review Nate😎
Definitely agree the head could be better but to me I still can look at it and see Anakin in it. We’ve got some leads on the other 2 so I am hopeful. Thanks as always for watching, Boba! -Nate
Nice. So if you wanted, you could take the armor off for a more movie kinda look like in season 7 I think? But I know regular episode 3 Obi-wan is coming soon though so
Great review!! thank you so much for sharing it with us! I’m so stressed that I will not find this wave. I live over an hour and a half from my nearest target. This is going to be heartbreaking trying to find them. I’m glad you were able to find them!!! I enjoy every time you guys drop a video. Keep up the great work! Can’t wait for the next Livestream!
Thank you, DarthEducator! It's no problem! I suggest going early in the morning and asking those Target employees. Thank you for the kind words, appreciate your support! -Justin
Just got this guy. Pretty nice figure, I’m excited to have him. I already posed him fighting Ventress and he looks great. I’m excited to get Obi-Wan since they’re the only two I really want. Here’s hoping for a S1-2 Ahsoka.
I just wish they released Fives instead of Echo since we’ll probably get a Bad Batch rendition of him soon. Odd choice to be sure, but the figure looks dope either way.
this is just incredible !! people are getting these figures!!! i dont have mine yet but i kept telling people be positive well all get them!!!! of course im not allowed in my target so hope they show up when i can snap them up online.... everytime i look at the anakin facesculpt i see malcolm from malcolm in the middle lol oh well i love it anyway and glad u got these figures buddy!!
Yeah the face is the only thing I really don’t like on this figure. I wanna say Hasbro tried to make some justification like it was a mix of live action and animation but then you look at obi and that kinda falls apart lol. -Nate
@@OutOfTheBasement I never got him. I just don’t need the character and he’s not aesthetic enough to pass the rule of cool test. I ended up caving and got Echo though. Although I might end up getting rid of him when the Bad Batch one comes out… I love the ARC Echo figure in the mean time and he looks great!
I don't believe we have tried that yet however there might be two different neck joints so I'm not sure if that would work. Thanks for watching! -Justin
@@hanif-pl5hd Yeah because I've seen some people say they could easily pop out the head of Hawk and make a 501st trooper but those are for sure two different neck/head joints. -Justin

Gonna buy this because the Archive Anakin was such a bitch to find in my country. Literally impossible to find at retail stores and online people sell it thrice the price
There are no news about these coming to europe (spain), you wouldnt be so kind to send and echo and a pilot hawk to a friend here? I’d pay for all the taxes and stuff obviously
@@epidemic1207 bro its just a comment, who knows if the next time they are on a target they get an extra one to do a favor to a toy fan. I know it is highly impossible but man, it is worth a try 🤷🏼♂️:)
@@OutOfTheBasement I hated to do it but turns out my city has nothing but scalpers working at all my stores. But after gas ebay's cut tax and shipping 40 for one aint too bad 50 is pushing it anything over that is a true scalper. I got lied to several times said 21st they couldnt hold one of each showed up 20th just to check since I was buying food anyways everything gone customer service said they had some but 2 toy guys said they were held for "Online orders" these arent even available online manger back him up so left put all my grocies back and wont be back. The other stores around me similar. At another store I found a stash of boba fetts under the shelve put them back out as I had them and got some mean looks from toy employees let manager know someone was doing it. I didnt accuse the employees at all now they avoid me when I come in. So no more target or hasbro for me. Year to 2 years of empty pegs even if your the first person on release day no we sold them or being help for online orders. So ebay is my only choice and the same for many others. This complete my set and will be done with hasbro from here on out. Back to statues and hot toys. More expensive (not really with scalpers) but way less frustrating.
I think she scales well with Anakin. The Ahsoka figure is still shorter, and she was practically an adult by Clone Wars season 7. Thanks for watching! -Justin
Oof! Not good. That’s incredibly unfair to people who haven’t found them yet. They might as well just keep selling em. Cat is out of the bag now! -Nate
@@OutOfTheBasement Update! Went to my local Target and was able to grab Echo, Hawk and a second Anakin to trade for a Kenobi 😳 I guess Targets are starting to come up with their own policies??? 🤔
how hard is it to make the headsculpt similar to a cartoon character.. that headsculpt is a brutal failure. why eo people keep saying hayden?!? he was a literal animated character in clone wars!?
It’s because the black series does not do animated based portraits. It’s always “as if it was live action” so it matches the other characters on the shelf if that makes sense. Thanks for watching! -Nate
@@OutOfTheBasement i hear that, but come on. that literally looks like a totally different character no one has ever seen before. they did fantastic on Obi Wan. i think they just did that because if they perfected this figure, it would definitely become the definitive jedi anakin figure, and they wouldn't make as much money producing more. imo.
@@OutOfTheBasement im not as much a star wasrs geek as many, but i think anyone who liked anakin as a light side of the force would agree that Clone Wars anakin was the pinnacle.
