I have a feeling before the month is over, we'll all be holding a crisp, mint Sideshow box, gazing through the plastic window of the figure we just received, saying aloud or in our heads, "Ben, Ben Kenobi? Boy am I glad to see you!" :D

Could be. I'm hoping so as it will make 3 sold figures Bespin Luke, Leia, and Ben and keep me busy reviewing figures.

This was posted at Rebelscum, nice to see him robeless. I think it looks great, BUT, too thin for Guiness, I'm definitely going to add some pudge to mine to give it that little bit of extra likeness :)
 
I'm currently on the waitlist for Old Ben. Got on it middle of June I think. Anyone else here on the waitlist or anyone who get a convert? If so, when did you get on the list.
 
That likeness is just astonishing, easily one of the finest ever. I got on the wait list for the exclusive just a few hours after the pre-order--I hope it converts!

That's really nice. The costume looks great too, it seems to be the right thickness but it doesn't look like cheap cloth. I think it's a perfect figure, now I just hope it ships after christmas because I really don't have the money for it.

It is nice but it definitely needs some futz-luv. :inlove

That goes without saying, it's rare to see a Sideshow site image or convention setup where the clothes aren't really worked with to match the films, they look ok, but they're not as meticulous as we Freaks are :) I think Ben will be the reverse of Bespin Luke; you can't get rid of the undershirt with Ben but I think keeping it and how it affects his white robes will actually make his shoulders and neck area look better, just gotta give him a belly.
 
I really, really hope the production piece retains the quality of clothing the proto has. The SDCC pic is perfect.

I think we'll be safe, I've been very impressed with every Jedi's clothing so far. Ya Qui-Gon's could have been a bit different, but what we saw at Proto was what we got, it's not as though they ever went with lesser materials, and Ben isn't a special color like Plo and Kit, so there's little room for not getting the exact right shade. The color actually looks much like Qui-Gon's tunic.
 
This figure is so good I am almost tempted to buy more of them just so I can display one everywhere I go. :eek:
