1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 283 - Star Wars Episode IV: 1/6th scale Obi-Wan Kenobi

Can't stand adults behaving like children...

...acts like a child and leaves forum.

I didn't do it, you did...nuh uh you did.......I am right, nuh uh I am right....good times, good times....

For me if I want to mix and match the two figures together I think it will work out cheaper to buy the whole hot toys one. I'd want the body hands belt arm and light saber. Looking at some of the prices people are asking for parts on eBay these ie robocop battle damaged head. I guess my shopping list work out about £10 cheaper than the whole thing.

I had stopped collecting Hot Toys in the marvel department but I think I'm going to purchase the basic actors in the Star wars.

For Old Ben, I think the likeness is quite good and although usually Hot Toys paint apps are good; for this figure it looks like they botched it. I just saw a recent review of the figure and it had the box cover beside the head sculpt and the paint application on the box cover is WAAY better.

Please post a pic of a figure from another figure that you guys feel is better over all quality than Hot Toys. I have figure from the other companies too and while some are excellent, I don't think they are better over all. But I am up to being corrected here.

ACI did a couple of stellar LOTR figures that a certain someone drew the interior package images for.... Aragorn is an amazing figure, one of my favorites.

Holy smokes, it was meant to be -- just remembered I have an extra SS Kenobi inner robe/tunic that I bought for the Sallah Project 5 years ago and never used.


Still don't know what head to use... but this tells me I might as well get the HT one and figure that out once both are in-hand.

You can always burn it with fire and smooth it with a hammer if you need to.

This figure is not perfect, but it looks good enough to buy. I still have my SSC one as well. both will be on display. I wish I could have HT's paint quality on SSC's sculpt. Best of both worlds.

 

[The Green Goblin]

Wouldn't the SSC sculpt still be lacking all the realism that comes from the Hot Toys sculpt? I just can't see even the well painted SSC sculpt fitting in with the rest of the Hot Toys figures. That sculpt is just lacking in realism, and looks like a mannequin compared to the life like details on HT sculpts.

Like someone mentioned earlier, realism or likeness? You decide.

I fixed it to the common thought.....

 

[Pixelpiper]

Realism every time.

This isn't dissimilar to the Blitzway vs Enterbay Tony Montana discussion. I preferred BW's take as it best captured the character, but it did look like a caricature compared with the more photorealistic EB sculpts. People should be happy they have a choice.

I don't get the feeling it is about having choices moreso which is the best one. I could be wrong, I lost track when they turned into long winded posts about why their opinion is correct...like anyone cares (que pic of Luke "I care")

That's just it - it should be about people being happy they have a choice rather being 'right'. People get to buy the one they want. Winning.

I'm with ya......I'm just ridin out the storm.

 

[WWEJedi]

Just curious... has anyone cancelled there pre order for this yet?

I will be keeping mine. To much money to get a SSC Kenobi, have someone repaint the head, new body, and parts from HT version.

 

[TonTon]

I've yet to order. There are too many figures on the horizon that I'm betting/hoping for some to get some kind of discount--20% off I guess is the only realistic thing these days. So I'm rolling the dice with this one.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I also have not ordered. No EX, no reason to order from Sideshow.

If I get this, I will pick it up on ebay or from BBTS with no tax and $5 ship.
