I guess so much for JND’s pending patent
on magnetic eyes.

Pop Costume is doing it too. It’s the first figure I saw that had them.

Not liking Obi sculpt at all, looks too chubby and needs a darker beard and fuller one. Anakin sculpt didn't nail the Hayden look but closer than Ewan. Stoked for Ani, troubling they did him rooted and not Obi.

Interesting how we all see things differently. I think it’s one of the better Ewan as Obiwan sculpts we’ve gotten. It’s not perfect but I think it’s better than both HT attempts and Sideshow as well.

Anakin I don’t think is as good as the Artisan HT sculpt or their Ahsoka General Skywalker sculpt, but better than other ones we’ve gotten.

I guess it depends on what exactly the patent is for. Is just the magnetic eyes or was it the magnetic eyes in silicone? If I remember correctly, patents have to be fairly specific

Anakin and Obi-Wan are available for pre-order on blitzwayusa.com for $549 each! That's $80 bucks less than I pre-ordered at Specfiction. Not sure about shipping as my order includes free shipping, but for those who still want this (at 2018 statue prices), head to Blitzway's site!

No, they aren’t unfortunately. Once you’re actually on the product page, instead of an “add to cart” button, there’s a “purchase through Blitzway Japan” button that redirects you to Blitzway Japan.

Oh wow, sorry I didn't go that far! Glad I've got these locked in with Spec...and that $620 price tag for me was still a great deal!

Yea I’m definitely not mad at the price I paid for both at Spec. $549 would’ve been even more of a steal for a 1/4 scale mixed media partially articulated statue. I mean that’s the price of these InArt and HT rooted figures. So definitely feels like more bang for your buck. Especially when you considered Mythos Obiwan PF being $725 before taxes and shipping.
