It's an iPhone(And possibly also android) app called Faceapp.
You can add smiles, frowns, age, de-age, add beards and moustaches, etc.
You can also change the hair.
I just aged the Ewan figure in the app.

It is trippy to think that someday Ewan could actually play crazy old Ben.

I'm sure he will eventually when Disney decides to remake the OT someday.

I?d pay money to see him play an old Ben Kenobi.

I just want to see this:

Just got mine today and had to snap a quick crappy pic.
Pretty satisfied with him regardless of the sculpt change.

I just got one. This has to be one of my favorite figures from Hottoys, and I can only imagine how much I would love it if his sculpt remained as incredible as it was in the prototype (which I think is my all time favorite HT sculpt). I do have three minor gripes, one being the dark beard and lack of grey around the sideburns. Seeing some of you guys fix those issues on your figures just shows how good the likeness is in my opinion. My second gripe is that Kenobi's tabards extend all the way down in the back like the other Jedi which I'm fairly certain isn't movie accurate. It becomes such an eyesore after you notice it. My last gripe is that my figure came with knees that wobble, it's very minor but it's still annoying. Overall I love this figure, definitely considering getting Anakin because of how much I like it.

The softening is a slight let down but not bad, the lack of grey and the goatee not being blonde throw things off a bit, though even the prototype lacked those. These were the only changes I made when I got mine.

Re: Hot Toys - MMS477 / MMS478 - Star Wars Episode III: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Std & Dlx)

I meant to say 'shows' and not 'hides'. I'm really surprised by just how much the beard color and grey sideburns fix the likeness for me. It's night and day in my opinion, which is crazy because it's something so small. Seeing your photos with the fixed sculpt has me considering repainting mine.

It’s not complicated, the only trouble I had was getting the blonde color right, my first pass looked too mustard yellow, I had to make it almost a really light brown with just a hint of yellow.

Even in Episode 2 it’s like that, but it’s so short it stands out less.

I used Tamiya Wooden Deck Tan XF-78. It's my go-to on HT when drybrushing a headsculpt's hair a bit lighter. I did the same with ANH Luke and Han too. It's just a light touch and well worth it if hair looks a bit too dark.

My second gripe is that Kenobi's tabards extend all the way down in the back like the other Jedi which I'm fairly certain isn't movie accurate.

They should extend only to his belt in the back. Do they go down beyond the belt?(I haven't opened mine, lol, i only have a custom on display)

Re: Hot Toys - MMS477 / MMS478 - Star Wars Episode III: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Std & Dlx)

Yeah, they go beyond the belt. It might have been a genuine mistake or HT just wanting to make a robe they could use for other characters, I don't know. I'm sure it would be an easy fix but I don't want to start cutting on an expensive figure. I'm also weird about having things not look the way they came, Hottoys ESB Boba Fett is the only figure I've felt comfortable customizing.
