Statue Obi-Wan Kenobi Mythos Statue

[slynger]

Thanks! I really appreciate the kind words everyone. They do honestly put a smile on my face.

Sideshow so nailed this statue. It's really off the charts the detail in it and trying to explain it when I saw it at the freaks party in 2011 was hard to do. Now everyone gets to see just how cool this statue is. It's IMO the perfect Obi-Wan collectible.

I agree. I think, in time, this will turn out to be a very sought after piece. Everything about it is just great.

Love the details on this piece.

Thanks for sharing pics Josh.

And a $25 credit for a future purchase, in that wrong edition size email too...

Yeah, what about the missing hilt Sideshow?

Damn, this piece is incredible. I've been a bit put off with Sideshow lately, my broken Hawkeye being the latest in a few fails from them, but Ben certainly makes up for it.

The level of detail over the whole statue is amazing and both heads look superb.

Question: on the box, it shows him with a saber-hilt hanging at the front of his hip, yet there isn't on anywhere in the box. Was it left out of the production run or is the "missing hilt" that I saw mentioned a few pages back? Also, if there is meant to be a 3rd saber, who's is it? Surely he was just carrying his and Anakin's?

His own, Anakin's, Qui Gonn's.
Yes, it has been left out of production, can be displayed only in his hand.

I received the $25 credit email also and I think that it's a good gesture on Sideshow's part.

Although it didn't bother me in the least, I would've like to have known the reasons behind the omission of the saber hilt. I like that kind of behind the scenes info.

 

[furystorm]

Ditto. I don't care about the number, I'll never see it. But I would miss the hilt every day if we didn't have a custom coming. Makes me wonder if so many collectors complained about the edition size and got an answer, but we're all surely asking about the more important issue, and getting nowhere!

The number is meaningless to me. Like you said, I'll never see it.

I wish that Sideshow would do away with edition sizes altogether.

I agree the real more meaningful & important question is; why did they omit the saber hilt?

Anyway...members here have taken it upon themselves to find a solution and we are on our way to getting one.

Yup, I read it before I approved the post.

Very interesting read!

Haven't read the last 200 pages, but I'm a little confused, is this shipping in June or how is it that so many ppl have a copy of this?

It is shipping now. There is to be a second batch shipping soon, April, I think.

edit: didn't see SS had updated their site. June would be for the second batch.

No problem

I won it at the Sideshow Freaks party during Comic-Con 2011.

That's still a great cover story & alibi for your heist.

It is but the prize was worth it.

You said you wouldn't tell.

Sorry, Josh, Sith Beagles can't keep a secret.
