Rarity
Uncommon; while not exclusive to a single production day, it appeared in only two sets from a specific era of Episode III remakes.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head with headset/pilot microphone and headband printing. One side shows a determined scowl, the other a grimace of anger. Includes reddish-brown swept-back hair (Modified 92081).
Torso
Dark Brown Jedi robes with dark tan highlights and a printed utility belt. The right arm is dark brown with a black hand (representing his mechanical glove); the left arm is dark brown with a light flesh hand.
Legs
Black legs with dark brown hip joint. Printed with the bottom portion of Jedi tunics and light-line detailing to indicate boot or fabric folds.
Accessories
This figure is missing its primary accessory in the image: a blue-bladed lightsaber with a chrome or silver hilt. He also appeared with a yellow/green Interceptor in the primary set.
Color Scheme
A dark palette consisting primarily of Dark Brown, Black, and touches of Light Flesh and Metallic Silver on the belt buckles.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The headset detail is crisp, extending to the temple. The belt printing is sophisticated for 2012, featuring a detailed pouch and metallic clasp.
Variants
SW0419 is the version with the headset. Variant SW0404 features the same outfit but lacks the headset and headband printing on the head.
Condition Notes
Prone to 'torso cracks' under the arms due to the Dark Brown plastic pigments of that era. High risk of silver paint wear on the belt printing and scratches on the hairpiece tips.
Estimated Value
Used: $15.00 - $22.00 | New (Individual): $30.00 - $45.00 depending on the condition of the cape or accessories.
Price (New)
Included in set 9494 which retailed for $39.99 USD in 2012.
Compatible Sets
9494 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor (2012) and 75038 Jedi Interceptor (2014).
Character Background
Represents Anakin Skywalker during the Battle of Coruscant in Revenge of the Sith, wearing his flight headset and dark Jedi robes before his fall to the Dark Side.
Design Notes
This was a major upgrade over the 2005 version of the character, introducing the modern 'swept hair' mold and a more realistic light-flesh skin tone compared to the older yellow style.
Similar Minifigures
sw0404 (Anakin without headset), sw1093 (Mustafar Duel Anakin), sw0139 (Original 2005 Anakin).
Collectibility
High. Episode III figures are consistently in demand, and this is a preferred 'Hero' version of Anakin for MOC builders creating starfighter dioramas.
History
This design marked the shift towards high-detail Revenge of the Sith figures that collectors still use today as the standard for the character's appearance.
Interesting Facts
The black hand is a lore-accurate inclusion representing the glove Anakin wears to cover his cybernetic prosthetic replacement for the hand lost to Count Dooku.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside a translucent yellow or green 7-wide Jedi Interceptor or part of a 'Battle Over Coruscant' dogfight scene with Obi-Wan.
Modification Potential
The head can be swapped with the 'Sith Eye' version from later sets to create a 'Fallen' Anakin variant while keeping the headset for a 'Dark Pilot' aesthetic.
Overall Assessment
Excellent figure. It captures a specific cinematic moment with great accuracy. A must-have for the Interceptor sets and a vital piece for any Anakin Skywalker timeline collection.
