Sculpt:
Enter Anakin Skywalker (Deluxe). This figure is considered one of the
worst Anakin figures from AOTC ever made. He has an Oversized Belt and a
weird cloth-goods type Jedi Tunic. The Oversized Belt is big in order to
fit the Tunic better. Underneath the Tunic is the worst set of Arms that
you've seen on an action figure. He head is stuck in "SCREAMING"
mode to display his Anger. Despite his mouth being hugely open, this face
sculpt looks pretty good.
Enter Geonosian Warrior. Not much here except he can split apart. He is
based somewhat off the regular Geonosian Warrior in the Saga set. Also,
this figure is rather naked. I don't think this guy has ever heard of a
thing called "pants!"
Articulation:
Anakin Skywalker (Deluxe) has 6 points of articulation. His
articulation points are at his hips and shoulders. Anakin does not have
neck articulation due to his Action Feature.
Geonosian Warrior has 5 points of articulation. His articulation points
are at his neck, shoulders and wings in his back. This is pretty basic
articulation. I do not understand why he doesn't have leg
articulation.
Paint:
Anakin Skywalker does not have nor does his need that much paint
applications. They are just on his Headsculpt, belt, and body. This is one
brown looking figure, but then again that's all his Jedi tunic is in AOTC
anyways.
Geonosian Warrior has a pretty good paint job. However, from looking at
the regular Geonosian Warrior figure from the Saga line, I've come to the
conclusion that this figure is a little too green in color. When I think
about that, it's not that bad. Why? Because it distinguishes this
Geonosian from other Geonosians.
Accessories:
Anakin Skywalker comes with 5 accessories. These accessories are a
blue-bladed lightsaber, a green-bladed lightsaber, Geonosian Warrior Piece
A, Geonosian Warrior Piece B, and Geonosian Warrior Piece C.
The Geonosian Warrior comes with no accessories, as he is somewhat
considered an accessory, himself.
Action:
Once again a Saga 2002 figure with an Action Feature. Anakin
Skywalker has special Lightsaber Slashing Attack. This action is weird. He
moves his arms in a "scissor-like" cutting motion. Because of
this Special Feature, his arms are weirdly shaped as a chunk is taken out
of his torso in two spaces. Luckily, his weird soft-goods Tunic covers
these ugly chunks.
Geonosian Warrior has two Action Features. One is that you can move his
wings around to where he looks like he's flying, or you can move them down
to where he looks like he's on the ground. His second Action Feature is
splitting apart! He can split apart at the waist and right through his
torso.
Overall:
Overall, I have mixed feelings about Anakin Skywalker and the
Geonosian Warrior. Anakin Skywalker doesn't look good in a Diorama, which
is what I've been planning in doing with my figures lately. However, due
to the flaw of almost EVERY Anakin figure having his Tunic skirt in such a
large action pose, thus restricting putting the figure in a Jedi
Starfighter, I like that this Anakin has a soft-goods tunic. Why? because
this Anakin can actually fit perfectly into a Jedi Starfighter. The
Geonosian Warrior is a different story. The pegs that connect his three
parts are horribly weak, so as a figure by himself, he sucks because he
constantly falls apart. However, apply some Super Glue in two places and
connect his three pieces to form one Action Figure. By this way, he is
actually a good looking figure and is nice to play with or display on your
shelves or in a Diorama. I'm not giving this Deluxe Figure set that high
of a grade because of the many flaws, but it is still otherwise a nice
set.
Grade: C
