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

[Timemeddler]

Has anyone added any white highlights to the beard or hair ? I'm thinking of adding some.

Stick a bit of ginger & blonde in there whilst you're at it.

Really liking this figure!

It's a great piece to have in the collection. Glad I traded up.

A fun project that I've been working on since yesterday morning. I'm a lot happier with how he looks now. Just need to weather and add patches now.

I didn't know Ben made a living on Tatooine as a mattress delivery man.

What is that comment supposed to mean?

It means he sees what looks kind of like a mattress behind Ben.

I suppose if it needs explaining, lol.

Haha actually I was referring to the plastic booties over his boots

Well there we go. And now I'm lost too. I guess I've never had someone deliver a mattress for me, didn't know they were that considerate.

I'm pretty sure Ben just has a coolant leak in the basement. Doesn't want to ruin those beautiful boots.

Is that a euphemism for incontinence?

Maybe that is his mattress behind him, drying out nicely under those twin suns.

No, I'm not that clever. Hot Toys did include a big old diaper with Old Ben, though.

The figure was just removed fresh from the box. I left the plastic covers on to protect the boots from any damage from pins when I was finding the correct length for the lower hem. I also left the covers on the hands and face too.

My sewing skills must be pretty awful if the only comments I'm getting aren't related to the tunic I made. I had only taught myself to sew that day. I was actually quite pleased with myself. Shame I don't feel the same way now. I've removed the post so you can get your jollies elsewhere. I had repainted some of the head too , but I won't show you how I've improved the likeness .

Just got Obi in the mail today. What an awesome looking figure. Only need Leia and 3P0 to finish the line-up. But I'm think I may pass on both. I have a hard time buying a female figure Hahaha

Do NOT hesitate on Leia. Its a stunning figure. Do whatever you like with 3P0....wait, save you coin for a Tamashi, buy the Sideshow. Whatever.

But do NOT hesitate on Leia. Hot Toys utterly nailed her.

Hey Paul, actually thought the custom robes looked good. I think everyone just went off on a tangent over the confusion with the mattress comment. No harm meant on my part.

What got removed? Someone did custom robes for the HT Ben? Interested to see - the stock ones remind me of a dressing gown from the Anchorhead Hilton.

This doesn't look like your first rodeo, cowboy.

The Hot Toys sculpt has really grown on me. I really didn't care for it at first, but now I actually like it a lot...

That TG one is really good...nice paint makes all the difference.

Here's another look at the HT one from me...



Like a lot of the HT portraits, it can look reall good from certain angles..amazing, in fact. But there's also something a little "off" about it...doesn't stop me from enjoying it or admiring the craftsmanship of it.

Still enjoy the Sideshow one too...room for both on my shelf.

Very nice pic. It's one of the figures that photographs really well. It's harder to get Luke looking good, yet on the shelf he looks great.

That is actually one of the best likeness shots I've seen of the HT sculpt, JB!
