Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi - 1/6th scale Darth Vader™ Figure

He has arrived. Opening tonight. Can't wait.

Edited: I'm really fighting the urge to buy another one so I can have both versions displayed. This is an outstanding figure.

Would anybody happen to know how to undo the belt buckle? Mine was put together on an angle and my OCD is kicking in and wanting to straighten it.

Anobody ordered and received this figure from Alter Ego?

I’ve ordered this (and most of my HT) from alter ego. With sideshow shipping out the exclusives first, it’ll be awhile more before we see the regular version that the US retailers get

Invoices from Kit have been sent out

Sure, I did order the Deluxe not the Exclusive.

Yeah lesson learned on what happens to people who miss out on the exclusive item pre-orders...

I have the deluxe exclusive PO'd form SS and I'm still waiting. Not even a peep yet...

cool. I apologize for my wording as it could've been better. I should've said "non exclusive" instead of "regular."

Sideshow will more than likely ship out mostly all exclusive versions (be it the deluxe or standard/regular) before sending out the non exclusive versions from themselves and to other US retailers. All that to say, those of us who haven't ordered direct from sideshow still have some time to wait.

Same here. I was late to the party though and had a waitlist conversion, if that matters at all.

Hopefully Sideshow’s stock are already inbound.

Hands down the best Vader figure yet.

Not an accurate display, but it’s my first 1/6 Vader and I’m very impressed with the shelf presence; he’s a beast!

He's amazing. Will prolly find some neon paper for his clean chest box.

Real talk, how do I change hands on this guy? I knew from older Vader reviews that it's difficult, but jesus. The hands just kinda sit with the power of friction right now, not fully tabbed in.

Im relatively new to 1/6th collecting and thought it was just me not knowing what I was doing having so much trouble getting hands to click completely! Now I know it's not me and just an overall design flaw for these figures. Oh how I wish they would use magnets or something, anything other than these damn pegs!
I have found letting the hand sit in some hot water (or even just running it under a hot tap) helps a lot. My Vader hasn't arrived yet so I dont know if this will be the solution for the more difficult figures but worth a try!

Set the peg straight in the center and then gently rotate the hand back and forth while providing a slight push.

It's best to take off the helmet/head and lightsaber blade so you can have a good grip on the arm to stabilize it and not have to worry about anything falling off or damaging.

It's a pain in the neck at times but I found that to be the easiest way to go about it.

Warm up the hand with a hair dryer then put it on ….

I got mine last week (deluxe exclusive), today is the day I play I can't wait to set this up. It looks stunning. Now then...where's that Obi-Wan

Still hoping my waitlist converts *fingers crossed*
