Hot Toys should take a lesson from Diamond Select / Gentle Giant.

Companion piece to display with Hobo Luke. Really annoying that the CW Kenobi was so obviously swept under the rug in favor of this garbage but typical of Lucasfilm.
 
Worst likeness in the SW line I've ever seen HT do :oops:
I hate it, for the reasons many have stated in this thread but also the whole vibe of the figure is garbage. Obi Wan looks like someone out of some charged-up super hero move in that daft pose with boulders flying around him. The socks alone may just make it value for money though, they’ll have real shelf presence. May just get it to display the socks alone on 2 transparent mini sock stands. The rats can have the rest.

The socks, being so popular, will likely be expensive parts to pick up.

Better to wait for the inevitable bootleg version of them. :monkey3

So sad to see GG doing a better job at his likeness than Hot Toys. PERS is just bringing down the likeness so much on their sculpt. Can really tell how sunken in and hollow those eye sockets are. The headshape in general is just so off on Hot Toys.

Honestly, the entire head is garbage. Apparently, HT put their D team on this — nothing about this sculpt says “Ewan McGregor”. NOTHING. Remove it from the outfit and ask someone who it is, and I’d be surprised if anyone pics him out. This is total crap. I could almost see Jeff Bridges, as mentioned above, but that’s about it. Apparently they were looking at photos of his stunt double.
 
Did Sideshow just change the exclusive to be timed? I swear it wasn’t until the Vader figure went up. Maybe I just didn’t notice.
 
They won't let us even wait until the obvious needed tweeks are shown. This sort of signals PO for this have been light since the debut? Oh well.
