World-renowned Hong Kong toy manufacturer Hot Toys' Movie Masterpiece series will release a new Japan-exclusive product based on the film "Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith" – the "Darth Vader (Sith Apprentice) Artisan Edition" 1/6 scale collectible action figure. With a suggested retail price of 65,000 JPY and limited to 1,500 units, it will be available for early release at "Star Wars Celebration Japan 2025," held from April 18-20, 2025, at Makuhari Messe in Chiba City. If not sold out on-site, it will be available for purchase on the Toy Sapiens official website!
In "Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith," Anakin Skywalker, swayed by Darth Sidious's deceitful words, believed that only Sidious could save Padmé and thus fell to the dark side of the Force, becoming Darth Sidious's Sith apprentice. This led to a thrilling duel on Mustafar with his master and friend, Obi-Wan!
This Hot Toys Darth Vader (Sith Apprentice) figure stands approximately 31 cm tall and exquisitely recreates actor Hayden Christensen's likeness, meticulously capturing his expression of anger towards the world and the detailed scars on his face. It reproduces the chilling red pupils, which can be adjusted using movable eyeball technology to direct the gaze as desired! This Artisan Edition rooted hair version further enhances the realism with Anakin's hair meticulously rooted strand by strand, giving him a disheveled appearance that more closely resembles his look after falling to the dark side of the Force in the film!
The mechanical arm, replaced after being severed by Count Dooku, is delicately sculpted. The costume features Anakin's Jedi apprentice robes, recreated with leather and other composite fabric materials, and includes a Jedi robe for more diverse posing options. Accessories include multiple interchangeable hands, a red lightsaber with an LED light-up function and two corresponding lightsaber effects, as well as a blue lightsaber equipped at the waist, allowing for various poses to recreate scenes from the film! The prototype base also features a backdrop with the Imperial emblem, enhancing the uniqueness of this collectible!
