@Rzeznikk posted one with the Ewan portrait...

That actually looks pretty good. I wish the figure had 2 sculpts like the original DX statue.

@endor1 Great job modding the articulation! Really an easy fix for the main complain I've seen people had with the second release.
Awesome pictures too!

After seeing everyone's great pics in here, I finally decided to pick up Mythos Obi Wan. The next morning I saw it was on waitlist, must have had a boost after Kenobi aired. I do plan on ordering the HT version in the future.

Until then, I appreciate that the portrait seems to favor Sir Alec Guinness. I've always liked the Mythos concept, from way back when it was previewed. Nice gear and backpack. The cloak and everything else seems good. Body is okay, except the single jointed arms.

Glad to have him, and though it's the second batch version, I plan to touch up the arms to see if I can improve the articulation. Thanks for the tips @Artaban.

SSC sent along a copy of a promo book, a gallery of their operation with pics and descriptions of each department. This was unexpected, nice.

Now, let's see about improving those arms....

Quick pics...

Not related to Star Wars but woah I wonder where that 1/4 Hagrid is from??

Also, amazing work on the figure so far @endor1

Thank you so much @Artaban and @Gipetto0812!! I continue to be inspired by everyone here! Mythos Obi Wan is a surprisingly underrated figure, that I'm having no regrets with.

While watching Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi's Return on D+, I caught a quick scene of Ewan checking out the production sabers. Off to the left was the SS Mythos Obi figure serving as inspiration.

The figure serves well as a great inspiration. I also use it for my inspiration when I draw the comic, Obi-Wan #1. Even draw the variant cover based on that figure.

 

[endor1]

Awesome!

 

[Gipetto0812]

Didn't they say somewhere that the figure was the inspiration for his final look in the show as well?

I believe so, yes.

 

[endor1]

Yeah, I do remember hearing that, maybe it was an interview with Deborah Chow?

One of my favorite collectibles so far. Really like the gritty feel you get when looking at this portrayal.

Okay found a blog post on Sideshow that talks about her mentioning the Mythos Obi statue....

https://www.sideshow.com/blog/obi-wan-director-deborah-chow-inspired-sideshow-mythos
“There’s a statue of Kenobi during this period, a Sideshow statue that really felt sort of visually that it encapsulated what the feel of the character was at this moment. And it actually became quite a reference that I would continue to go back and look at.”

The statue was really cool too and included both EM and AG portraits.

Did they ever fix the articulation on this one back to its original release?

 

[ShootingtheGalaxy]

Finally got an older release with the correct elbow articulation. Unless they fixed it at some point. Found this used at a toy store. Either way, happy to own one with good elbows.

It's over Cad, I have the high ground!

Great shot STG, congrats on finding him, and double jointed too! I did later on pick up an extra OG body with the double jointed elbows. Makes a huge difference.

 

[ShootingtheGalaxy]

Thank you! Its definitely now a favorite of my collection

Great pics. A very underrated figure. The original release was much better. The later ones seemed to have much poorer tailoring.

Thinking about Kitbashing a Mythos Obi-Wan from the end of the show with a Ewan sculpt and HT body with double jointed arms.

Anyone know if it's possible to still use the boots or hands?? I'd assume I'd have to maybe change some pegs?

Hands-yes. Boots-no, not without modding at least. Easiest thing to do would be to use some blue tac but if you want something more secure/permanent, you'll have to do a little more work
