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

[Pixelpiper]

I'm letting it be known right now, I want some of whatever drugs are being passed around.

Love to see some actual in-hand pictures instead of all these usual glam shots.

He can definitely look good if posed correctly. Sculpt is not a good representation of the man we saw on screen... but it is in keeping with the other Star Wars sculpts in terms of accuracy... they're all off, some more than others.

But again, my biggest disappointment is the tan inner robe and stitched collar (below). That blasted Sand Person material that's too thin.

I'm good with the saber since I will only be posing him with it for initial photos.

Yeah, too bad that's not what we're getting in 1/6. Both SS> HT on old Ben

It almost seems like Hot Toys and Sideshow have switched companies these days to see if anyone would notice a change in quality.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sooner or later someone will pose this Ben with old SS Ben and we'll see just how far the improvement has gone. I have a feeling it will be a split decision.

I forget, does he do discounts when ordering a bunch? They're about $50 each right?

I'd have to check again. I can't remember.

I still like the old SS sculpt. The only improvement will be the paint and that's just marginal.

Everyone that likes the old SS sculpt, buy and display that one. Everyone who likes the new HT sculpt, buy and display that one...

I think it looks great.

Would anybody know but if I was to ask a friend to get me one in Hong Kong, where would I send him and how much would it be do you think?

So was plan on upgrading my sideshow old ben body but seeing how the lightsaber and arm work's its going to be a pricey upgrade 4 body n light up saber n boots. It may be cheaper 2 buy 2nd n sell xtra's nothing easy oh well. I hope can grab a 2nd eventually.

you could ask you friend in HK to get one from ebay, its around HKD 1900~2000.
the shipment fee to the UK by air i think is around HKD 350. so it adds up to around HKD 2300.

I thought they were far cheaper on initial release from Secret Base? Your price there works out at about the same as usual outlets.

Wow, thank you. Much better than Whiplash 2 then. Light actually goes all the ways.

James Coburn?

You could be right.

 

[hokietwo]

The saber actually ended up in a nice pose position after he tossed it and and slammed head down in the video. Dude is a natural figure poser.

Kind of staring back at you like "This is my whoopin stick"

Hadn't seen these new, in hand, pics of Obi Wan.
I wonder if the color of the beard and hair is throwing off the likeness. It's just too monotone, it should have a bit of blond and a lot of white, but it looks just grey in the pics.
