They are the same sabers that used to be sold by Master Replicas... the Force FX Lightsabers... the internals have been changed up to make the blades removable...

It's a mixture of both.

The Anakin is the same as the Graflex...

You don't happen to have a comparison picture do you?

No it isn't....
The Graflex was, obviously, trademarked, so Lucas couldn't make any money off of it in 1977. So, when 2005 rolled around, he made his own saber which looked like a Graflex, but every single dimension was changed, so there'd be no infringement...

He meant size wise...

Yes, and the Anakin is not the same size as the Graflex. Lucas changed every dimension of the original part to get something which would pass as a Graflex, but since it didn't use the same dimensions, was in no danger of copyright infringement...
The Anakin is slightly narrower in diameter, and longer than the Graflex...

Good Lord... He didn't ask if the FX Anakin saber was the same as the replica Anakin saber... He asked if THE FX ANAKIN SABER IS THE SAME SIZE AS A GRAFLEX!! See the difference?? And the answer is yes...it's very close.
to simplify - Anakin ROTS FX hilt is the thickness of a Graflex because it was made bigger to accommodate electronics. The LE is thinner.

I don't know if I should start a new thread, but now that there is a removable blade FX ANH Luke coming out, and the Removable blades have been pretty identical to the normal ones.
My Question: How does the original hasbro FX Luke ANH compare to a graflex?
Anywhere I can find pictures?
I've searched around, but no luck.

Like you said, they have not come out yet so no one has been able to do a comparision
Actually, they are out. I ordered one a couple of days ago. It should be here Tuesday and I plan on doing a full video review. I don't have the original MR FX Luke ANH, but so far the Hasbros have been very close. I do however have a vintage graflex 3 cell that I'll be comparing it to, so hopefully it'll be close.
