I don't have a great deal of experience with Kotobukiya; Darth Maul is the only piece I owned until this one. In comparisson to Maul, Maul feels very plastic and light and, almost cheap for what it cost, but it's sculpted and posed beautifully so you look pase it. Obi-Wan is made of some nice, heavy material, the pose is the infamous Matrix inspired 2 finger point stance. The overall is a great piece, his eyebrows are painted a bit thin so I'll probably touch them up a little bit, and his face isn't a perfect Ewan sculpt, but overall it's a great piece. The packaging is the same as Sideshow and Gentle Giant's 30th Anniversary packaging. I definitely can't wait for the Grievous to go with this piece.
