I don't see what all the fuss is about... it looks just like him.

I am really struggling with his likeness here. His robes also look way too clean.

Likeness definitely has not been improved at all yet. And yeah the robes are looking awfully clean and white there for some reason.

The figure and outfit look great (even if too clean, that's fine with me -- people can weather them the way they want to), but not a spec of Alec Guinness in there, that I can see. Guinness' likeness is one of the ones that I was most hoping they'd nail but he's the furthest off, so far. Hope Fisher and Hamill fare better and that Obi-Wan is tweaked.

Robe looks hella thin also.

I can see some Guinness there. I think the problem is the sculpt looks younger than it should.

Likenesses that don't match the premium MSRPs on these figs is disappointing. I look at what Star Ace is busting out with the Harry Potter line and you can just about see the love and care that has gone into it. And then you look at this HT dross and it just feels cynically wheeled out ahead of the main EpVII game later this year. At least the stormtrooper looks good.

Nope. Ben Kenobi (age 57) has officially been cancelled.
Ben Kenobi (age 77) is yet to be made.

Hot Toys pre-cancelled it. But it was Howard's prerogative to un-pre-cancel it without notice.

Unbelievable!!
I just noticed that HT now has a 'pre-cancel' option on their site, in case you want to send them a direct message.
Wow.
Aren't they nice guys..

I see Guiness in there. It just needs tweaking. Lengthening a bit and some aging will help the likeness.
