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

[Lejuan]

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.

Nope, I'm keeping mine. I wouldn't say no to a really great repaint of the SSC sculpt, but even if I could get a paint up done it could take a year to get it in hand. I'm satisfied enough with the likeness on this one anyway.

For the ultimate Ben Kenobi representation, maybe I'll just buy the HT cloak... flatten it on the floor.... and have my Vader poke it with his toe...

 

[WWEJedi]

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.

I think your roll will probably be a winner. I can see this going to discounts.

That.... that might be a plan.

That's actually a good display option. lol

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Wor-Gar again.

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

Caricature or not. It still looks more like Guinness than the HT one. Just saying.

 

[SithThundercracker]

Yeah! Let's keep going!

 

[Protozaius]

I purchased mine through Sideshow months ago using my Paypal account. I had sold some items to pay for it. Out with the old in with the new.

Not sure how to go about cancelling/getting a refund. At any rate, that down payment would be toast. Frankly it's not the quality sculpt that has me pondering a refund, it's that damned see through white tunic! Hot Toys should have known better.

C3PO "Excuse me sir, you haven't seen obi wan around here have you"

Agreed....the ghost of Obi Wan....dead on likeness.

 

[cmiller99]

That's morbid

 

[Darkseed]

That's morbid

Yeah, I couldn't leave it as stated. I had to retract....

 

[Jaymas]

So how many people have this in hand now? I keep checking here for more in hand pictures, reviews, and hopefully more links to videos.

 

[Darkseed]

It's released in Asia, I wouldn't expect many in hand. I don't anticipate many will pay the escalated cost outside of Asia to have it in hand first. It'll be awhile for more in hand stuff to come rolling in

Oh, I thought it was released in the UK like Han and Chewie (unless I am wrong about them too)

 

[Darkseed]

No idea about U.K......Han and Chewie have spuratic release in the states. I am awaiting my ex set while others have them....Kenobi won't hit for weeks but that's how it works here.

 

[galactiboy]

Grown men collecting dolls are going to act like children from time to time. I think we can all get past it.

Truth

Here's the best comparison I could make... it really is a choice between the two sculpts in terms of which you prefer as they both have pros and cons...

Agreed, and I have a feeling the HT will also grow on me the longer I have it in my collection.

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.

$5 shipping... that's nice. I used the $20 off coupon from a few months back, I figure with that and the RP I'm getting about as good of a deal as I can expect.

Well good news on Han and Chewie in the states - I'm waiting on the ex set I preordered too. I'm excited for them all on their own, but related to this thread it will be good to see how my sideshow Ben Kenobi does next to them to see how it holds up side by side. That might help me decide on the HT Ben.

I bet if you asked for pics in Han or Chewie thread someone could post shots with Kenobi. Most of the SS Kenobi pics I seen he is either standing alone or with droids not other "human" characters.
