1/6 Hot Toys - DX26 - Obi-Wan Kenobi Series : Obi-Wan Kenobi

[Sassafras]

Same.

Yep. Got a sorry coupon too, tho the only thing I am wanting to order is the Obi-Wan 1/4 statue and bet it doesn't work for that. Or expires.

I wish the coupons would work on pre-orders. I generally don't want or need anything in stock because I had already either pre-ordered a particular figure or got it somewhere else.

Does this have a new release date yet? All I see is an obviously outdated "March 2024" ETA.

He wasn't included in the "Coming Soon" picture HT shared recently, so I guess he won't be released till late summer or early fall. Not sure what the hold up is.

More sculpt revisions maybe?

That would be ideal. We've been waiting for this figure for quite a while when it's objectively a fairly simple figure compared to the Anakin/Vader from the same show.

And another delay - poor Obi

Just about 2 years now in production. Crazy.

This figure is hot on the heels of the Endgame Loki delay.

Yep. Or Ragnarok which dragged on so long, I forgot I ordered.

Maybe Sideshow will send me another "sorry" coupon.

How long of a delay was those? Do you know what figure has the longest delay?

Sorry didn't see this post. Far as I remember, Ragnarok Loki was 2 years - although, if I remember right, that was probably because he got pushed to do Mandalorian V1 and IG-11. Vaguely remember there was some hyped show or movie going on.

If I had to guess, I'd say China's current economic turmoil e.g. finding material suppliers and/or staff is slowing things down. Some toy companies are switching to places like Vietnam and India, and that's been going on since Covid.

These days I've just resigned myself to long wait times. Then because shipping got more expensive, vessels don't move until they are packed full.

I don't know what HT fig has had the longest delay - seem to remember the first Hulkbuster took 3 years, maybe more, before it showed up.

Finally! That head sculpt looks like the best Kenobi to date just from that little tease. Seems like they've refined it quite a bit.
Also, I'm surprised Thrawn is releasing before Sabine.

Damn, I might have been tempted with the cool outfit and floating rock diorama, but that sculpt just looks laughably bad. And there was really no need for moving eyes on this.

Will see. He'll be on my "master Jedi" shelf with ROTS Obi and Qui-Gon so it's not like on display folks won't know who it is. Agree tho I sure didn't need moving eyes.

Got a notice my final payment will be charged, maybe this will finally ship before 2025.

EDIT: And got another delay notice until August. Poor Obi.....

Delayed till SEP 2024 - NOV 2024 (Sideshow)

 

[Tee-Kay]

He's on the latest Hot Toys "coming soon" picture, i guess he'll likely be the last to be released then.

I noticed Artisan Anakin was not present in that photo. That is the Artisan Joker pictured, correct?

Correct. But, just b/c it's not in the coming soon photo, doesn't mean it can't/won't be released until all of those in the photo have been.
