1/6 Hot Toys - MMS477 / MMS478 - Star Wars Episode III: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Std & Dlx)

Would hand washing the robe also apply for the Anakin as well? As far as detergent, what are we talking about, dish detergent ? Thanks! I finally picked up both Obi and Anakin and just want to be sure I don’t mess them up, lol.

Yes, it will apply to all HT robes. I’ve done it with Anakin, QuiGon, both Obiwan figures and Jedi Luke. The color doesn’t fade, but you’ll literally see the excess dye just start come out and your water change colors. And liquid laundry detergent like Tide, Gain etc. I use a small, Dixie cup sized amount that I pour into my bathroom sink that’s pre-filled with warm water. Then just gently massage with your hands for a good couple minutes, then rinse for about the same amount of time, then let air dry. Hope that helps

This is a must for Obi and Qui Gon unless you'd want to see their white tunic stained.

I haven't done it with my Obi-Wan and had him since he first came out and no issues.

I found that the inner tunic already had a slight orange tinge to it. I Still washed and rinsed the cloak a lot before using it.

I was getting "Ghost" movie vibes reading this,like when Swayze is sitting behind Demi Moore....

Looks like YanToys shrunk down their 1/4 sculpt and made a 1/6 version. I’m guessing they’re either going to offer it by itself or maybe do their own 1/6 figure

I still think the HT looks better.

I agree. I don’t like any of the custom ones I’ve seen either. I do think the new HT Clonobi sculpt beats the ROTS one though

Looks more like Ulysses Grant than Obi-Wan…

Something about that mustache hair that just hasn’t looked right in most Kenobi sculpts.

For those who are interested, Yan Toys 1/6 sculpt is up at OSK for PO at $43. I might bite since it's not too expensive

Great to hear from, Brother! Hope you are well!

I don’t really love the HT sculpt but I have to agree. While it’s fine for 1/4 where there’s really no other options, it definitely wasn’t good enough to offer by itself in 1/6.

Not a fan if this custom sculpt. The eyes are off and the head sculpt just looks a bit too wide.

This just looks like someone tried to copy the HT sculpt by hand and did a bad job.
I though McGregor just didn’t sign off on his full likeness with HT but it seems like he may also be in the Harrison Ford/Viggo Mortensen etc club of impossible to capture faces.

Hasbro managed to capture great Ewan McGregor sculpts, especially their AOTC and Clone Wars 6" releases look spot on. Also, check out Diamond Select's Kenobi Series releases (statue and bust) for really good current day Kenobi scults. Their Cobb Vanth also looks like the best likeness to Olyphant so far.
