SS EPII Obi Wan

Re: 12" Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode II???

Maybe he's another EU Exclusive.

Hmm... I doubt that. For one, I think even Sideshow would know better than to have a SW figure as an overseas exclusive (and a character like Obi-Wan at that). Also, the first place to have it up for pre-order was in Singapore.

This piece is "screaming" domestic exclusive IMO.

Granted, but I'm trying to gather why this would've been announced all over the world and here...nada.

What's black or white about Obiwan?

Maybe black and blue after Dooku handed him his ass!!

His robes are grey?

I know, and I agree. It'd be perfect for, say, a PO in this week's newsletter. But again, why is it that we haven't even heard a whisper about it and the UK, EU and Asia are already taking preorders?! For a DE, someone here should've at least dropped a hint by now.

wouldn't this look a lot like the Episode 3 version?

No, just about everything, save his underclothes, were different.

Re: Who's waiting for an Episode II Obi Wan?

Which actually sounds kinda gross... . Wear them till they hurt, Obi!

Gross aside, his belt and his robe are the only things you can recylce from ROTS.

The only downside of this panning out means that likely he comes with a bare minimum of accessories and I always thought it'd be cool if AOTC Obi-Wan came with the Geonosian spear from the arena, the handcuffs from there and/or Zam's assassin droid.

Do you reckon the price is too low for the figure to include some of those accessories, which by the way, sound way cool?

Re: Who's waiting for an Episode II Obi Wan?

Maybe just me but also the tracking device he places on slave 1 and also the other lightsaber he wields in the arena and during the fight agaisnt dooku. i had forgotten about the spear and handcuffs they would make great exclusives not essential but cool anyway.

Couldn't they reuse the Leia Ex cuffs?

Wasn't there already a thread started by Homer Simpson about this?

You must learn the secrets of the "Search" button before you can call anyone a padawan learner for you are not a Jedi yet either.

That search option is like playing "needle in a haystack amongst a barn full of them." But since it was still on page one, someone else is as blind as a post-fight General Kota!

It would be an injustice, the Geonosian cuffs don't look like the ANH cuffs and one thing SSC deserves credit for is being keen on detail, like making sure Ep3 Anakin, Ep4 Luke and Ep5 Luke all had lightsaber hilts with the proper distinctions instead of cheaping out and using one mold.
