Still a great figure. One of SS finest.

Yeah, that sculpt with PERS and HT apps would be #1 in any collection.

My repainted Obiwan, yup one of the best from Sideshow

Great to see this thread alive again. One of my favourites.

That's sensational man!!!

The stock body for Old Ben is becoming floppy. I want to swap it out. What's a good body to use? I'd like to stick to a Sideshow body if possible. I've never bought one of their bodies on their own always as a figure. Are they any good? Which one should I go with?

I swapped mine to a Luke buck body. He's now closer in height to Luke without being too short. Now he's not as tall as Han either. I have some extra Luke buck bodies if you need one. Pm me.

Very nice, your repaint gives his face a lot more depth. Really does fix the SS paint job and makes him look less toy like.

Wow. Iconic pose, great repaint, nice weathering. Great looking figure MM, good stuff.

Hey thanks a lot Jim but I was really asking for future reference as I really don't have any extra cash at the moment. Maybe some day in the future I'll hit you up.

Anyway, had some fun with Obi today.

Looks good TheFiend, what did you use to "bulk" him up?? Nice work, I need to do that to mine.

Thank you. I just folded a paper towel up,wrapped it around his mid-section and rapped the ends together. Im glad you noticed, i didnt think anyone would. No me he looks much better even if its a minor addition.

Looking awesome, Fiend. If HT or SSC doesn't step up to the plate with a new version of this guy to go in the 1/6 landspeeder, I may just have to try to get one of these and have it repainted.

Thanks! If you can find him at a good price grab him. He's in my top 5. Great piece. I think ill end up picking another up down the road I like him so much. It would be cool if one of these customizers around here did some variations of him. I always though it'd be cool to have a smiling Old Ben sculpt. You're right about the hands. I'm eventually going to switch him over to something else anyway and with it some new hands closer in skin tone to his head.

Only quibble is that the hands are a bit of a color mismatch and need a repaint to match that great head.

That's a great looking Ben, Fiend! Awesome job on the robe futzing, that's no easy task.

Thank you! And yes, was no easy task to get the robe to do what I wanted. I took dozens of pics just to get those few you see.
