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

[hokietwo]

ALL of these "review" type videos need not be any longer than about 3 minutes. This one is 27 minutes. Really? You need that much time? More than half that time is spent repeating his views, hemming-and-hawing, explaining his OCD, trying to get his camera to focus, and the like. Unnecessary blathering.



I have to give it to BudgetStark, like him or not, he makes appropriate length videos, speaks quickly and clearly, and gets the information out that he needs to within the time frame without rambling or hemming-and-hawing.

Yep.

Hello everyone Budget Stark here........

[Insert 5 mins of relevant content]

........and we'll see you at the next video

I could do without the annoying music in the background. That's really my major pet peeve with review videos

Great pic Para!

Only the second time I see a bit of Alec in the sculpt.

 

[Cixx]

I think the sculpt looks awesome in that vid!

Awesome pic....one of the reasons I chose this version. It looks excellent with the other HT SW characters. Do you have a re-painted SS? I'd be curious how that looks in a group shot with Han / Chewie. Most shots of SS version is solo or with droids. I am curious how it stands with current releases.

Very Cool Pic of Han/Chewie/Ben

They look amazing together! Man, I can't wait to get this guy. It's going to be a lot of fun to get the main crew together soon, with Luke, Leia, and Threepio coming soon. Now if I just had a cabinet bigger than my Detolfs. Not sure they are all going to look good on one shelf. That'd be a little cramped.

I carried out this mod in preparation, and also to fit the FT Dinobots on one shelf for my TF collection.

I don't like Obi's Hood! Everything else looks great

 

[FlyAndFight]

I think Hot Toy's 3.0 Version of Ben Kenobi will be THE version to own!

 

[Darkseed]

You go ahead and wait for it

Wow, that's very cool. I fear I'm not nearly handy enough for that, though.

Another rambling video. People really love to hear themselves talk. I don't.

Go to the 17 minute mark to save yourself some pain.

Synopsis: "It looks nothing like him, but pretty good" - this guy is too funny.

I managed to watch about 45 seconds of that before turning it off.... People don't want to hear your critique, they want to see the figure. Jezz.

true.... I also think the contrast between this video and the one with the white gloves is funny- it's a big difference in how they both handle the figures and I am guessing most of us are some place in the middle. I'm not wearing gloves but I am a bit more careful and gentle then they guy in the latest video. Good to see it seems pretty durable though. But yes, Pixel was right, the video is best viewed with the audio off. I do like the likeness a bit better on video than still pictures for some reason, not sure why.

LOL. I instantly thought of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back from the intro.

Be sure to take wisdom from that crack shot critique.

That's The Straight Poop for you. He's also the guy who fondled his Black Widow figure, so take it for what it's worth.

I give reviewers thoughts about as much consideration as I do opinions in a forum. I watch them for a better visual perspective then pics so most don't bother me too much. Granted it is better if they have a little charisma or character but not required for me...

So what is better: watching that video without sound for 27 minutes OR watching this forum without reading?

Awesome pic as usual, Paramore!

With the slight left lean on all of them, they look like an SW acapela trio singing with Ben doing the finger snap!

MONEY shot!

I can turn the sound down on a video unfortunately, I cannot skim the site without occasionally reading stupidity....

I managed to sit through the whole video, that was painful. I was blown away by the fact that list price in HK was $HK1380. That price difference was bigger than I had thought. Buying locally I get two of the HT Star Wars figures for the same money that would buy me three in Hong Kong.

 

[CollectorGuy]

yeah i watched like 10 mins and quit, bummer that he holds the ignited saber wrong.

You go ahead and wait for it

Already saving my reward points.
