The Revenge Of The Sith Collection Anakin Skywalker (Battle Damage) is a fabulous action figure for representing Anakin in his final moments of defeat on Mustafar, and whereas other Anakin transformation figures take us forwards with the construction of Darth Vader from Anakin, this action figure takes us backwards as when you reassemble Anakin he is put back together in his human form rather than becoming the cyborg Dark Lord of the Sith. (See, for instance, Darth Vader (Rebuild Darth Vader) and Anakin Skywalker (with Darth Vader Tunic and Armor).)

The mulilated Revenge of the Sith Collection Anakin Skywalker (Battle Damage) figure is quite a gruesome looking action figure but a necessary one since Anakin's fall on Mustafar is such a pivotal moment and one upon which the overarching plot of the first two trilogies depends. It would have been seriously remiss of Hasbro to be squeamish and neglect to release this battle damaged Anakin action figure since the cyborg Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader is quite literally forged in the lava fires of Mustafar during this scene from The Revenge of the Sith. In fact, it's importance in forming the character of Lord Vader can be seen in Rogue One when we discover that Vader has actually taken up residence in a fortress on this volcanic planet.
See my article on the creation of Darth Vader here: Emperor Palpatine and the Creation of Darth Vader.
Anakin still has the whites of his eyes on this Battle Damage action figure, whereas in The Revenge of the Sith they had turned yellow and bloodshot some time earlier as Skywalker solidifies his commitment to the self-annointed Emperor Palpatine and to the Dark Side.
All Star Wars action figures, vehicles, collectibles and Star Wars toys shown on this website are the 3.75 inch scale and from my own private Star Wars collection unless otherwise stated. Where possible original vintage accessories have been used but in some instances I have placed Kenner Star Wars figures with either reproduction weapons and accessories or for Hasbro figures close approximations have been used. This is mostly the case for modern Star Wars lightsabers where the correct item can be very difficult to identify on some ocassions. Vintage Star Wars action figures are shown with their original weapon or accessory when I have them. When a vintage Kenner action figure is shown with an accessory which is not original I have tried to point this out where possible.
All of the Star Wars action figures shown were purchased second hand, usually incomplete, and in bulk. They have been reunited with their original weapons and accessories where we could get hold of them.
