1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 283 - Star Wars Episode IV: 1/6th scale Obi-Wan Kenobi

[Wor-Gar]

Yesssss.... to ZE you listen.

 

[Creighton]

The fixed lightsaber is a letdown. I don't like the idea that i can only display the lit saber in his right hand. Plus the angle its fixed to hilt will hinder some battle poses.
I wasn't thrilled about it with Kylo Ren either.

Why is there not an alternate saber or a blade that can attach to the empty hilt?

 

[ZE_501]

Yesssss.... to ZE you listen.

LOL...actually, I forgot Boba Fett! Again:

1. Leia - near perfect.
2. Luke (ANH) - too heroic but captures him.
3. Luke DX07 - excellent likeness, too bad it's so scene specific.
4. Chewbacca - once futzed, amazing, but much better for ESB or ROTJ than ANH. There is nothing like him.
   Boba Fett - ranked with Chewbacca. I'd go higher but there are some weird things going on with his proportions in the proto.
5. Han Solo - much like Luke, sculpt is slightly generic but it captures him nonetheless.
6. Sandtrooper - excellent representation; raised brow and longer frown appear to compensate for other helmet inaccuracies.
7. Darth Vader - unmistakably the Dark Lord. Appears to be missing the tells for ANH.
8. Stormtrooper/Shadowtrooper - the finish, the feel, the overall representation is stunning. But after living with the sculpt for months, it has issues.
9. Obi Wan - dependent on angles and lighting. Overall quality carries it.
10. Luke DX07 regular - very idealized and square jawed, but the overall quality carries it.
11. Spacetrooper - same as Stormtrooper, but backpack appears to be totally inaccurate.

Let's stop and take a look at that. There are THIRTEEN individual Original Trilogy figures made by Hot Toys right now. Fourteen if you count Shorttrooper.

Plus four announced Sequel Trilogy figures.

Plus three quarter scale OT figures.

And a Falcon cockpit.

Careful what you wish for, everyone.

Alright, but I hope you're happy having a 1/6th cosplayer on your shelf instead of Ben Kenobi.

I know you've got naked kitchen picture poses all planned out for this one, Wor-Gar, so don't you tell me you don't have this on preorder.

Yeah, coco, but did you happen to catch this?[/B]

I'm looking forward to the Jimmy-Wan Kenobi figure I'll be recieving, pjam.

I should totally do that, huh? In the same poses... gotta find that little pumpkin.

Oh Jeebus that was you! I had blocked those memories out and now they're back!

 

[Wor-Gar]

The pumpkin was the worse, but there was a whole series... and many other figures involved as well.

That's crazy when you count them up like that.

 

[guyver1]

So wait a minute why is this out already? I thought Vader was offered months before this

No kidding. And it happened QUICK. Nice list btw. I'll be buying 4 of these. Han, Chewy,Leia and Luke. Leia is the best of the bunch. And with that I'll be done with SW. Unless I come into a large fortune down the road.

What kind of answer are you looking for here? Doesn't this happen here and there, some stuff ends up completed earlier and pushed forward?

 

[Chronos1919]

Well put, ZE. I think that sums it up nicely.

Edit: You must spread some reputation around before giving rep to ZE again.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Ah, the good ole days. They don't make little pumpkins like that anymore.

 

[TheFiend]

What's this stuff about pumpkins?

Like, within a year or something? Makes my head spin.

Those four are awesome choices. Myself, as of today I only have Farm Boy Luke on pre-order; as I mentioned in his respective thread I need the exclusive belt and he's insurance against the possibility of Sideshow's pilot Luke sucking.

Here's HT's Ben "in-hand" - literally.

From Cihat Uygun‎ on FB:

Maybe hot toys was going for an older George Clooney head sculpt morphed with Alec Guinness?

 

[guyver1]

It's bad lighting I see Alec Guinness clearly in the sculpt

Clearly.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I see Alec Guinness clearly in the sculpt

Somehow it doesn't read as the sum of its parts.

Must be the lighting here also.
