The definitive ROTS Anakin
BlockTalk Summary
LEGO Star Wars fans have a new option for a definitive *Revenge of the Sith* Anakin Skywalker minifigure, thanks to the release of set 75401. While the set itself is based on *The Clone Wars*, the included Anakin minifigure features an outfit that is nearly identical to his appearance in Episode III.
Throughout LEGO history, standard non-headset versions of *Revenge of the Sith* Anakin have been surprisingly rare, appearing in only a few previous releases like sets 9526, 9494, and 75269. Older versions suffer from drawbacks such as outdated printing, high aftermarket prices, or battle damage that locks the minifigure into the specific Mustafar duel scene. By contrast, the minifigure in set 75401 provides a much cleaner, more versatile option for collectors.
Fans can easily adapt the set 75401 minifigure into a pure *Revenge of the Sith* version by simply swapping the left hand to a standard skin-colored piece. Additionally, the figure features a secondary angry expression that portrays a "good guy" rather than the evil Sith face typically found on previous non-headset variants. When you finally add this figure to your collection, you might want to pick up a LEGO display case to showcase your newly updated Anakin.
I know 75401 has been out for quite a while now, but I never really paid attention to it and only recently found out that it comes with a new Anakin minifigure which I think actually deserves more attention than it seems to be getting. We don't really get a lot of ROTS Anakin without his pilot headset, in fact I think there are only 3, 9526, 9494 and 75269. 9526 is pretty rare and pricey at this point and his outfit isn't really that accurate by today's standard. 9494 has the same outfit...
