The inspiration to get mine done.

Looks great! What robe is that from?

So cool. Getting ready to tear my heads off soon.

About time! You'll love the outcome.

 

[TheFiend]

Wait, why is my hood so much bigger than everyone elses?

 

[pixletwin]

The hood is the same size Fiend, just got to hide excess. I personally like to use wig tape to help get that job done.

I don't know man. Im going to say mine is definitely different than Short Rounds. My hood hangs way further down in the front when placed over top his head. Plus the material is different.

Short Rounds

Mine

Marfs and Flosi's looks like that too. Plus mine isn't all ripped up down the sides and sleeves. It's threaded.

 

[pixletwin]

Oh yeah... I would venture a guess to say that your robes belong to either an ep2 Obi or the Ep3 Obi. Did you buy this off of someone or from a store? Mine looks like Flosi and Marf's too. I would say definitely you have the wrong robe. (Funny, I didn't realize that before now).

 

[galactiboy]

Yep, that is definitely not Kenobi's original robe... but I imagine you could remove the hem, dirty it up and be good to go.

I guess I never posted my repaint in here... still have never properly futzed the outfit, but Trev's sculpt is just unbelievably good

And lest we forget what we started out with...

Damn it!!

All the crap I went through for this thing and he still got it wrong. Yeah, I bought it loose off the worst seller in history. Well, maybe not in history but it was bad,dude. I'll try to keep this short if I can. I put a thread up for a boxed or loose Old Ben. I'd take it loose if it was well taken care of and with all the pieces. And of course being loose that would reflect the price. So this dude contacts me, says he has one with the box and mint. Great! I checked his feedback all was well and I said ok. It took him 2 days to get back to me. When he did I sent him money. All communication with him stopped. It was during this time I was contacted by not one, not two but THREE members here telling me he was a known thief at another forum. Lovely. So I'm PMing him to no avail. I know he was online and I saw him accessing his private messaging so he couldn't say he didn't get them. So I filed a claim. It was literally the last day for the claim when he got it contact with me and said he shipped it. Gave me a story about his wife in the hospital, MS etc. So I get the figure... First off he didn't come with the SS box and he was jammed in a waay too small USPS shipper. Obi was in a fetal position. He was in nice shape though but DAMN. But then he only came with the hands that were on his arms and the saber that's it. I was missing all the rest of the hands, the saber hilt, the stand and the Jedi training remote thingy. So I contact the dude and ask what's up with the missing stuff. He tells me he must have forgotten and he'll send them in 2 days. So I wait. The next day he PM's me asking why I hadn't dropped the claim. I tell him I will when I get my stuff. Dude, you would not believe how absolutely furious he got. (sigh) Long story short, he sent my stuff I dropped the claim and didn't even bother with feedback in fear of some retaliation, especially after that psychotic episode he had with me. Fast forward 6 months later and I find out I don't even have the correct robe.

 

[pixletwin]

That sux. Is he a member here? Out the bastage.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, it's not too late to leave feedback and sounds like as a community we need to be aware of this d-bag

 

[TheFiend]

I do but like I said, he may not be mentally stable. I don't want to ruin my feedback because he wants to be vindictive. I dunno.....

That´s bad.
Do you correct your figure with new robes? Or did you leave it like it came?
Can you post pictures?
What a mess.

If You bought it on Ebay, you're safe from retaliation.... sellers are forbidden to give bad feedback to their customers. My wife an I sell regularly on ebay and have had customers screw us over quite a few times, and we've never been allowed to leave them bad feedback.

 

[pixletwin]

Post the guys name and change your feedback. If he messes with it I am sure a mod will step in... right?

I posted many pics a few pages back.
