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

[Wor-Gar]

Nice custom. Sideshow's inner cloak really is better than Hot Toy's see-through one.

Definitely.

Looks great! It's not a competition - although if competitive futzing ever becomes a thing I'll be straight out of the hobby. It looks like Obi-wan's getting a nice view of slave leia too!

I know, but I'm just disappointed. This has been one of the only figures I can remember that I haven't been able to futz to my liking.

And yes, Ben and Vader are both gawking at GG Slave Leia.

Is that the Ht tunic? Looks opaque and very nice.

Great stuff.

That tunic looks great! Didn't you make that yourself, Paul?

 

[paulcarson]

Thank you. Yes, I made the tunic myself. I wasn't too find of the see through fabric used on the stock figure.

Great work.

If you don't want to go to the trouble Paul went to, or have to spend to get the Sideshow inner robe, the Hasbro one actually looks pretty nice with the HT outer cloak.

 

[paulcarson]

It wasn't any trouble at all. I learned quite a lot whilst doing it and the result was well worth the time that I put into it.

Per Sideshow, almost sold out -- but they are offering free US shipping:

I'm still gonna pass on this one: while it's a terrific sculpt, I just don't see Alec Guinness there. Also, the inner robe is too thin; and the hood on the outer robe looks too small. *sigh!*

Same here. So glad I took the chance on buying it. Absolutely no regrets. Goes and looks so well with my other SW figures.

I was at my local hobby store and they had many HT on display. Obi Wan was the big stand out for me in the ANH & SW Universe collection. He just looked that good!! Other HT stand outs were RO Vader and BVS Batman! Not every HT has the "WOW" factor but these three did!!

Very true. Obi does kind of sneak up on you as far as a figure (imho). He really wasn't on my radar until people started posting in-hand pics.

I wish I had a LCS, but I don't. I'm lucky enough that the next state over has a great online store that I can get my Hot Toys from and they are great about shipping fast and customer service, etc.

 

[facemelter]

Looks like Obi Wan has been wait listed.

 

[Nyqmex]

Do you guys think they'll restock once more? I'm on the fence of buying or not but if he'll come back in stock I'm not gonna stress it. HT newbie here!

If you mean HT making a third run, no. Very doubtful.

 

[D'oh!]

OK, OK, you guys convinced me: I just ordered one! No Waitlist necessary.

I went back through this thread and looked at some photos that really sold me on the Guinness likeness. At the end of the day, he is my favorite Star Wars character so there's also that angle. Now if only they'd bring back Rogue One Vader...

I got this right after the New Year. Such a good figure. I still haven't found an exact pose for him yet because i keep changing it.
