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

So just for the sake of it, a quick triple side by side with a similar angle and hood configuration:

To me the SS comes closer, but the HT is still quite good (although not quite good enough for me to want to spend $220 on).

I do agree though, it does seem to look more like Guinness without the hood over his head for some reason.

There is no exclusive.


There's also no reason to preorder this early.

Thanks! I can get it cheaper then

By the same token there's also no real reason not to order it early, what with it having no NRD.

I'm certain there will be plenty available. But it never hurts to lock one in just in case.

Hood needs to be baggier but could just be a matter of futzing.

I completely agree, and based on the triple compare pic I can't understand why some people think the SS looks like a comic portrait, except for the poor paint application. Look at the unpainted version below.
EDIT: I used Photoshop to add brightness to the center film image, reposted at bottom.

Great comparison. I see this new sculpt as a step farther away from the actor than SS's effort. For $220 I would've expected a step closer.

 

[davejames]

Actually I think that's Trevor's Obi-Wan PF, and not the 1/6 head.

The 1/6 head is also a much better likeness in my opinion, even if it doesn't have nearly as much detail as that.

 

[Anthrapoid]

Really? if so, my mistake then... but I do have the SS 1/6, and I looked at it to compare to this photo; wasn't different enough to clue me in that it wasn't the same sculpt. Now that I look at the scale of the thread fibers, I think you're right.

Ok, taking my wallet back out again

Both Han and Chewie also look way too off for me..what is happening to HT...we lost those two and now Ben!!!???

 

[Anthrapoid]

I can customize Chew to look really accurate... Han, I'm not even going to try.

Get stormtroopers.

These guys are gonna have such awesome presence on a shelf. I hope they tweak them but if they don't, I still think they look great.

The X-Wing Luke price makes all of these look like a bargain. I ordered it without even thinking

Lovely sig.

I laugh at people who think Chewie is way off. Anyone who see's that figure is going to instantly recognize who it is. Unless the production piece doesn't look anywhere near to the proto, there's no way I will skip that figure.

Anyone who sees this plush Chewie will instantly recognize it as Chewbacca.







And hey, you can actually see his eyes!

What's with the headsets? Are we getting a 1/6 Millenium Falcon cockpit with useless lever that Chewie can adjust?

Yeah, you didn't know. The cab and the gunner station. Full size. Go look.
