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

[bbl]

I've been rocking this ever since i got him. Hooked r2, 3po and the table up to a power socket. Made the couch from foam and cheap plaster.

I work on a computer all day, so many options of "undo". But when i'm posing and I find one i'm very happy with, I don't want to keep playing around as I might not be able to get back (undo) to pose pose I originally loved!

I feel the same way. I haven't changed my poses in over 6 months haha.

I just got this Kenobi today. Yes I know I am super late to the party but better late than never. I like him but I have just one problem with him. So .....um...how do you get the wrinkles out of the cloak?

Light steaming. Hold him over a tea kettle. Not too close, so as not to burn yourself or damage the figure.

I just placed an order with a coupon I got from Sideshow with one of my purchases lately and I decided with this guy instead of the spacetrooper. Pretty excited I flexed him but will probably pay him off honestly within the next couple of weeks.

Kind of like a high-end version of the Kenner Jedi Master Luke that never got made:

Thanks! I've never owned a detolf and never will. If I ever take them off my shelves they're going in a toy box!

I placed a pillow case on my ironing board then placed the cloak and folded the pillow case over. Then I ironed the pillow case (cloak between) and it seemed to work. Just don't put the iron directly on the cloak. Use a buffer!

Saw this still in stock and with free shipping, so I decided to investigate and ended up only paying about $190 for him. xD

Can't say I'm not happy about the price. Just hope the figure comes in good shape and that it hasn't been sitting in poor warehouse conditions, lol.

I ordered mine two weeks ago. The batteries that were in the arm were almost dead and of course the cloak is wrinkled but otherwise in great shape.

I posted a thread on this in the customs section but didn't get too many replies so I thought I'd ask here - has anyone got any ideas about how I can convert this into a spirit of Obi-Wan figure? I have a spare and I want to do just that using glow in the dark paint but I haven't been able to find anything that works well without UV light. My children tend to handle my figures so I also want to make sure there's nothing radioactive in it (!). I've bought various things locally but nothing seems to work well and it's difficult to gauge online how good a product will be. Anyone got any ideas?
