ETA December 2026

This is the moment Anakin Skywalker died. And Darth Vader was born. Captured in wool, fire, and extraordinary detail.

On the shores of Mustafar, surrounded by rivers of lava, Anakin Skywalker made his final choice. The man who was supposed to save the galaxy chose instead to destroy it — consumed by ambition, by grief, and by the dark side’s most seductive promise. What emerged from that fire was no longer Anakin. It was Darth Vader.

Hot Toys’ Darth Vader (Mustafar) Artisan Edition Sixth Scale Collectible Figure DX49AE captures that precise, devastating moment — Anakin mid-transformation, the Jedi he was still visible in every scar and tortured expression, the Sith Lord he was becoming already burning in his yellow eyes. This is a Sideshow exclusive release with limited allocation, arriving December 2026.

The defining feature of this Artisan Edition is the meticulously implanted mid-length curly dark brown hair crafted from wool material — each strand individually rooted to recreate Anakin’s hair with the realistic volume and texture that no sculpted alternative can match. Combined with a head sculpt featuring separate rolling eyeballs, Sith yellow iris eyes, detailed facial scarring, and a tortured expression that captures the weight of every choice that led him here, this is the most emotionally complete Anakin Skywalker figure Hot Toys has ever produced.

A mechno right arm — symbolic of his shifting identity and the mechanical future that awaits him — adds a further dimension to the figure’s storytelling. His multi-layered Jedi costume is finely tailored throughout, featuring a wire-embedded Jedi robe for dramatic posing, leather-like tabard, inner and outer tunics, pants, long boots, and a utility belt with pouches and lightsaber hilt holder. Nine interchangeable hands — fists, lightsaber-holding, and Force-using gestures — cover every display scenario.

The lightsaber loadout tells the full story of Anakin’s fall. Both red LED-lighted and non-LED red hilts are included alongside blue blade options — allowing collectors to display either the Sith Lord he became or the Jedi he destroyed. The LED-lit Mustafar diorama base is the most ambitious display piece in this release — a panning droid floating above translucent lava effects with pulsing lights that recreate the volcanic planet’s atmosphere with extraordinary visual drama.
