Just a shame it doesn't capture Alec Guinness as Obi-Wan (unless you have the hood up).

Definitely captures "Alex McGuiness" That was really funny.

But this does look really good. I still think the likeness is a little better on the SSC (if lacking in detail and yes, a little caricatured) but with hood up this HT fig will be awesome and the apps will be something to behold.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

That's the old sculpt in that comparison.

"From a certain point of view".......

 

[TaliBane]

That's the old sculpt in that comparison.

It's taken from Sean Long's Celebration video, posted yesterday.

But that's a little disturbing that you thought that.

I think it's the eyes and beard that make him unrecognizable. This is the not the Hot Toys I expect, and he can't be expected to wear his hood all the time.

It's like one of those bootleg companies who explain that the likeness is intentionally off because it's not licensed.

The great Sir Alec deserves better.

There's a picture of the entire figure on the preceding page, but does anyone have a closeup of the new sculpt? HT didn't do so on its first attempt, but it should've been able to nail down his brow and the bags under his eyes.

There's a newer HS than the one at Celebration?

No, the sculpt at Celebration is the new one. I was just wondering if anyone had pics of it. The sculpt in TaliBane's comparison is the old one.

I'm pretty sure they're floating around somewhere in this thread but I'm a lazy **** and can't be bothered looking for them at the moment.

TaliBane's is from Sean Long's video.

Here, I captured another one from Sean's video:

That's as good as it gets, and I have no idea who's wearing Obi-Wan's clothes.

Gotta love what this illustrates about subjectivity. I still think Ben is probably HT's weakest offering, so far, but a good enough representation of the character for me to happily display. Wish they had pulled a Mandarin on Guiness but c'est la vie.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

TaliBane's is from Sean Long's video.

It is? That looks like ****.

I could've sworn it was much better than HT's first effort. Maybe it is. Oh well, my feelings towards this remain the same. Unlikely to get it, but who knows?

We'll never get a better Sir Alex McGuiness. At least in this scale and at this price point.

 

[Matt S]

Its a great sculpt; just not a great sculpt of the actual actor. Like Vader, an idealized version of old ben

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

It's impossible to mistake this for anyone else so I think it's damn near perfect. All of these sculpts are going to look incredible in person.

Huh. Looks like the old one that everyone was hating on to me.

I don't know. He could be Captain Birdseye with his fishy fingers out of uniform.

hahaha, now that's a stretch

 

[Patriot666]

Hilarious though. Fishy fingers lol.
