Wait, I know, I know, sideshow makes a mediocre prototype to sell figures, then they make an even better one that you see just shortly before it is released to whip everyone up into a feeding frenzy, and then they put bad production pictures on their site so everyone thinks the figure is going to suck, then they send out a decent mass produced figure that looks leaps and bounds better than the faux bad production pictured on the site so everyone loves their production figure because it looks so much better than the bad production figure on the site.

Hey, that's a pretty smart strategy...

Ok, question. Is the Obi-Wan taller than Anakin?

 

[IrishJedi]

Re: 12" Obi-Wan IMAGE Thread

No. Same size, I believe.

This just in from Saltrgreen at RS:

I just got Obi delivered...

Wow, this figure is alot better than I was expecting after seeing the firt few photos. The paint apps on the hair and beard seemed a bit to "Toy" like to me, but after having mine in hand it looks great! Maybe I got lucky and have a good one, who knows?

The Tunic is NOT white, but is the ROTS light tea color.

Using a flash really makes the hair color seem alot darker than it actually is, look at the two photos above. The close up is without flash, and the full body is with,

As for the hight comaprison, Anakin is slightly taller than Obi-Wan (At least the ones I have)Take a look at the above picures.

As a whole I'm just as happy with Obi-Wan as I am with any of the releases so far.

The pictures just keep getting better and better. Can't wait to see him in person!:chew

Mine came today, surviving some time spent as a soccer ball in the yard at UPS. Unbelievable mess made of the box.

My reaction: much nicer than many of the photos posted so far indicate, a good paint job though not one that liberates Andy's likeness of Ewan MacGregor.

Since I am into customizing these things to perfection, he will get a repaint by and by. But that's not a complaint. It's just me.

Notice his foot goes into the same fighting stance as PF Ben...

Thanks for the pics Gruff and PT and love your banner Gruff! Yeah, I'm convinced now, it needs a repaint; hair, eyebrow and beard repaint but that's gonna be it for me.

He is great figure otherwise, just want him to look more film-accurate.

Re: 12" Obi-Wan IMAGE Thread

Wow,you guys aren't kidding! The sculpt/paint look much better than the earlier shots indicated! I actually got to see a friend's up close today (mine is still in shipping limbo) and it DOES look pretty darn good.

Oh and... i hope they make a premium format Jawa. Then I can finally have a giant jawa to terrorrize everyone. UTINNI!!

Re: 12" Obi-Wan IMAGE Thread

One thing I didn't appreciate until I posed him with PF Ben Kenobi is that Andy seems to have sculpted him with Mat's 1:4 Alec sculpt in mind. The eyebrows have the same furrow and curve.

Maybe Andy and Mat are slicker than we know.

Or maybe I'm imagining things.

Or maybe Ewan MacGregor did a better imitation of Sir Alec than anybody realized.

Thanks for noticing the new banner...all are actually from my collection. The Sideshow heads are of course Les repaints. The Pierce-Karloff model from Janus was painted by Steve Riojas, who does many of the prototype paints for Sideshow's Marvel line.

Re: 12" Obi-Wan IMAGE Thread

you can definately see the blush and tone paint apps they put on the obiwan, based on gruff's pictures.

ur comment on the UPS was hilarious.
they do in fact, abuse the boxes for fun.
A friend of mine had a friend who worked for UPS and they purposely kicked boxes onto the truck that said fragile or the likeness :emperor

Re: 12" Obi-Wan IMAGE Thread

I haven't seen a single picture of Obi-Wan yet that can make me forget the SDCC version... It's hard to take a step back. Maybe I see things differently when my Obi arrives, but I doubt it.
