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

[TonTon]

Mine are bent too. Possible the original prop was like that based on photos I see online.

Any new pics on this fig?

The last pics I remember were from SDCC or the toy fares shortly thereafter.

 

[D'oh!]

Old Ben is definitely my favorite character, but as others have mentioned this is a great sculpt if not great likeness. I'll have to see some final product before deciding. The costume is superb but right now, I still prefer Sideshow's sculpt.

With a proper paint job, the SSC sculpt looks great.

I just bought the SS Old Ben (still getting HTs) and I will tackle a repaint of the SS version. Trevor's sculpt is the best I have seen, just the crappy SS paints ruins the full effect.

I like the slightly Asian HT versions of Star Wars. Makes me feel like I'm getting the entire cast from a Manga comic.

It's the $125-250 for a proper paint job that's not so great.

Still hoping Ben will have one final step closer in likeness when it's released. The HT Han - while still not great - looks better in-hand than the V2 protos were.

Without that final step, I'm not sure I'll grab HT Ben. Leia's another somewhat meh SW fig, but that headsculpt looks amazingly good, so I'd grab that first over sorta-Ben.

wow... had not realised that untilyou wrote it. They really look a bit Asian!!

Kenobi, Solo, even Vader!

Leia looks perfect though, and Luke is ok too.

Just received that email too. I will be glad to have this one earlier than expected (even if it doesn't quite end up in Oct). Hopefully Vader gets to us by Nov. There was a pretty big trend of getting AoU figures in earlier than expected, so hopefully it carries over here.

Probably also Luke trooper and maybe spacetrooper and 1/4 boba if that is of interest too. I'm probably getting all of these. With Hot Toys plus all the other money I p*** away i guess I'll have to keep on working.

Maybe not all in the time that Sideshow says because of all the time it takes for the items to get from Hong Kong to the U.S., but Hot Toys has released all the figures on time so far. Crazy that we could be getting a bunch of the figures from this line by the holidays.

 

[jedijim3002]

Yes!!! October it is! Hopefully.

 

[The Iron Koob]

Don't forget Hulk

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

What's hulk?

 

[FullMetalHippie]

Got my notice as well. That probably means we'll be seeing blogger pics of Obi-Wan within the next couple weeks. Now bring on Vader!
