Before the heavy breathing, the mask, and the Empire… there was Anakin Skywalker — fiery, conflicted, and freshly turned to the dark side. Now, Hot Toys is bringing that powerful transition to life with the newly revealed Darth Vader (Sith Apprentice) [Artisan Edition] 1/6th scale figure, and it’s packed with dark side energy.

This version of Anakin captures him at his turning point — when the Jedi robes still hung on his shoulders, but the red Sith eyes and a mechno arm made it clear he wasn’t coming back. Inspired by Hayden Christensen’s portrayal in the prequel era, this figure dives into the raw, emotional chaos of a hero-turned-villain.

Here’s what you get:

• A brand-new head sculpt with separate rolling eyeballs
• Real wool hair implantation for that wild, stormy-haired Sith look
• Smoky eye detailing and blazing red Sith eyes to show he’s not here for negotiation
• A fully poseable body with over 30 points of articulation
• His signature mechno right arm – detachable, of course
• Two lightsabers: one LED-lit red, and one blue for that last spark of inner conflict
• Swappable hands for duelling, Force-choking, or dramatic brooding
• A layered Jedi costume with dark, weathered fabrics
• Themed base and a silhouette-style backdrop

Two versions are up for grabs:

• Japan Exclusive Edition – Limited to 1,500 units, comes with a commemorative box sleeve
• Hot Toys Exclusive Edition – Limited to 1,000 units, available through selected retailers

Expected to land between Q2 and Q3 of 2025, this is the Anakin you don’t want to miss – right before the suit, but deep in the darkness.
