• This Anakin Skywalker action figure was released together with a cup
• There were a total of 5 Star Wars figures released in 2004 which came with a collectible cup - the other four figures were Luke Skywalker (The Empire Strikes Back) - Darth Maul (The Phantom Menace) - Obi-Wan Kenobi (A New Hope) and Princess Leia (Return Of The Jedi)
• This Anakin Skywalker is a slightly re-tooled version of the Anakin Skywalker (Hangar Duel) figure from 2002
• This time around the magnets in the right arm were replaced with a plastic peg
• The right forearm can easily be detached
• This feature enables fans to display the figure either during the fight with Count Dooku - or after when Anakin's arm was severed
• Anakin has an action feature built-in - by turning the wheel in the back of the figure the left wrist moves in a circle
• The blue lightsaber blade is removable from the hilt
• The previous figure had a magnet inside of the right hand - this way the lightsaber hilt could be attached to it by "using the Force"
• For this release however Hasbro removed the magnet inside the right hand
• The figure stands shaky without help from a display stand

On the cup: A child born of prophecy, Anakin Skywalker left an indelible mark on the history of the galaxy, and led it through periods of lightness and dark. Saved from slavery in childhood, he became a Jedi and fought for the side of good before succumbing to the dark side.

On the box: Anakin escapes certain death from the dangerous beasts in the Geonosian arena and as Jedi reinforcements arrive, he wields his lightsaber against the Separatist forces in what becomes the opening battle of the Clone Wars.
