According to Rebelscum, it's 90% Production Sample, not pre.

I love everything about it except for the eyes. I prefer the eyes on the prototype pictured on the Sideshow site (much better likeness of Ewan McGregor IMO). Seems the eyes is the part that Sideshow has the most problems with on their figures. The ANH Luke also has "squinty" looking eyes like this. The rest of Obi looks terrific though. Can't wait to have him in hand!

They told me at the con that this is a production piece. They said that is how it should look in-hand.
I'm hoping so because I'm really liking what I see.

Me too. But after everything is considered...I have seen that even the production pieces can vary. And the Hasbro guys shed a little light on that. They told me that during the painting process, the masks used to paint the figures (Sideshow's manufacturers do it the same way) that the masks can get coated with paint and make small variations in the actual apps unless they are cleaned regularly.
Don't know if this is the case, but it seems to make sense to me.
Well ya, there's still the likelihood of small variations, but definitely, I'm very happy with the ideal, target production look shown at SDCC.

Absolutely. And it is very unlikely that there could be such huge changes that something that looks that good could be completely ruined. I reverted to Henny Penny for just a second.
The only thing I see happening with production run on this figure will be some minor variations in the eye and hair detailing, minor stuff.
Pictures make it look so, is his beard as nicely mixed with shades as the photos suggest, looks like reds and blondes mixed well to match Ewan's AOTC beard from the pictures.

Well looks like they changed the way the elbow armor sits on the arms.The prototype's looked better,still looks nice though.
That was my understanding as well.

I wonder how difficult it'd be to take the Episode III version and make this into a current Clone Wars version....you'd have to remove a lot of the armor and find a way to do the Shoulder Bells but it could be done....huh...
You might be able to cannibalize a Medi Stormtrooper for the arm and leg armor. Maybe a Hasbro one. It will take some work.
October I think. The Comic Con piece was a production sample, so these should be on time or a little sooner if that's the case. No later than October thought, I'd figure.
As time goes by the less I want this piece..... 
How come? Not a fan of the design or too many other things you do want?
My anticipation grew after SDCC, thanks SSC, since we got to see what we're getting and how nice it looked.

I dunno. Prolly has to do with so much coming down the line. I think I would cancel this before I would cancel, say, Indiana Jones.

I'm with you. I'm thinking about canceling. I love Obi, but think I'll stick to just the OT cast.
