You guys always know the proto is not the final one.
In the case of sideshow, that means it gets worse, but HT always gets better.
It’s hard to get the rolling eyeballs right but I have faith in HT.
They won’t let me down. They never have.

ROTS Obi final production was way worse than that phenomenal prototype.

I really liked that one. A small piece of drybrushing really brought out the details.

 

[sithocan]

Jyn Erso also.

If this the only version we get from the series ..I’m disappointed

I’ll wait for his finale version

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I actually kind of dig it. But agreed the headsculpt needs work.

Likeness is ok. I really don’t love that sleeveless cloak thing they gave him in the show. USB lightsaber is a cool step forward for them!

It was a visual callback to Anakin's cloak in AotC

Still leaning to ordering, though

Same here though I think once they put up Vader I will make my final decision to whether I need them together or just want an option to pick up a Vader.

Just wishing that the box with Anakin's saber wasn't one of the "regional exclusive" deals, I get they are trying to sweeten the pot for collectors and certain retailers but at the same time when your country doesn't have one of those stores within its borders it makes it overly expensive to get the version you want.

Im guessing thats going to be the timed special item like they had with the holograms with Boba's Throne (for example) last year?

I'm... underwhelmed.

Not just this by sculpt, but by more of the recent ones, actually...

Thor Love and Thunder- Age of Ultron sculpt with added scar
Spider-Man (Garfield) - What seems like the old sculpt with new paint apps.
Wolverine - What looks like the DoFP sculpt with different hair (great sculpt though)
Obi Wan Kenobi - Not their best work.

They sure are trying and upping their game with accessories like the USB lightsaber or the real leather jacket for Wolverine, but they are somewhat lacking in the sculpting department it seems...

Is the LED design different from the previous SW LED options from previous figures

I’m confused

I tend to agree here. It looks rushed, probably because it was.

Plus normally they nail older headsculpts, so give it more time and they will add more detail I reckon.

They did give a post pre-order release HS update for Battinson a few months ago, but I guess that was because of inArt pressure.

Led lightsaber powered by USB. Nice improvement.

Sculpt is off. And it will be more off due to licensor request.

Nice pickup there. I didn't see that to begin with. That should be game changing. Lightsabers should be theoretically brighter as well as USB can give more power than a battery. But I guess we'll see.

Just the practicality of it as well is something we've needed for ages !! Hope they apply it to all Jedi figures now.

That’s why I’m hoping there will be the finale version with new outfit because that’s the Obi we love while this look his character was rusty , and unsure of himself

Not Hot Toys fault, but that costume colouring looks atrocious.

Those white socks over brown pants and all grey robes

 

[Centrocal]

I wish it was the outfit he wears at the end, that was the best look

Unfortunately that was his look in the first four episodes of the series

Definitely will be done after.

 

[DarkChocobi]

I just want Clone Wars Kenobi...

 

[Bacara]

Who is that suppose to be?!

USB Lightsaber and the base is nice but yikes is that one ROUGH headsculpt. Looks like Chuck Norris and Jeff Bridges had a scary baby.

All I can see is Ted DeBiase!!
