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

[Darkseed]

It looks exactly like the prototype which looked great to me. No issues here.....

HS looks about an 8/10 for me. The likeness is there, but it's certainly not a "holy crap that's wow" sculpt like, say, with BD Robo, or Godfather.

Looks good to me. Maybe the face is slightly too stern

I think you have a point here. "Old Ben" typically looked to be quite gentle, and placid. This looks very determined.

Not a big fan of the clothing, I honestly think that the Sideshow clothing will look better on this ( cloak and jedi tabards etc) .

Absolutely agree....it isn't a jaw dropping sculpt but the likeness is present enough to warrant my cash.

I think adding the distinctive colouring on his beard and mustache will add to the likeness, I'm just not seeing a difference in shades to be honest. He also had a slight brown / ginger to his eyebrows. Maybe someone could photomanipulate it to give an idea ?

 

[Rorywan]

Looks beautiful IMO. And the tapered sabre is great.

 

[Clutters]

I like it overall.

My biggest problem is the ultra-prominent stitching on his turtleneck. And the crisp clean under-robes. The latter might need to get distressed - I'll be looking to the mod forums for that!

I've never had a problem with the sculpt and still don't. It may not be absolutely spot on but I see Guiness there. It especially looks good in the more low light pictures. I think most of these figures don't look their best with lighting shined right on them honestly. Always have to roll my eyes at people who make comments like they can't tell it's supposed to be the actor the figure is portraying at all.

From some angles it looks like Alec and then others it doesnt. I think it came out pretty good I may pick up

I like it. I like it a lot.

The beard is wrong though. His beard wasn't as thick and the hair was straight.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

The HT face isn't as narrow as Sir Alec's - & the eyes aren't shaped the same.

 

[Chronos1919]

I agree that there are a few small changes that could be made to improve the sculpt. Overall though I'm very happy with it.

Hopefully the figure comes with a standard lightsaber as well. It looks like it might, some weird angles and some Photoshoppery are preventing me from knowing for sure.

This one looks like the normal one

The saber is a lot better than I expected it to be... at least in those pics if they're not PS'd.

It will probably appear much brighter in photos than it will in person. Here's one I grabbed just now from FB:

Is there a video of the lightsaber with lights on and off, without all the photoshop/special effects lighting? Just curious how bright it is as well as the color.

The LED saber is attached to a special arm and looks like a donkey d1ck.

I wouldn't know how that looks like, haha, but thanks for the pic and info. Was wondering where the batteries would go to and the answer presents itself. Does it look anything like your lightsabers when lit up? They were constructed differently?

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Now that's a meme I've not heard in a long time..

.. a long time.

CCFL sabers look like what you saw in the movies. This saber will probably have a hint of light on the blade and act a bit like a flashlight with a faint beam coming off the tip. There's no comparison. There are a few interesting ways to make an LED provide better lighting in a blade/shaft, but this isn't any of them. Sideshow have previously made the same arm/saber setup and it looks like HT got the design from them.

Ben, wake up! There's a zombie in your cloak and he's gonna choke you!



Those hands look a bit mummified.
