SS EPII Obi Wan

[MaulFan]

There are a couple of things you could give Obi to fill the AOTC Exclusive. There is the slug from Padme's room, the flying slug transport from Zam that he hung onto, the drink from the cantina, one of the holographic pieces from the younglings training room, one of the holographic transmissions to the Jedi Temple, his Geonosis Lightsaber but the best idea I've heard is an exclusive wethead sculpt so a Kamino fight recreation could be done.

That's the only reason I wish this figure weren't sort of rushed, if it'd been a long planned out, more in depth offering, I imagine we might have seen Zam's droid ala the Mynok, though I guess there's still a chance we get it as a pack like Maul's balls with the droid and the 2 worms loose and maybe the worms in a canister like when Jango first gave them to Zam.

If its a domestic ex what does it matter what the ex item is? Other than the dart there isnt much to give Obi-Wan is there really?

Some of you guys would ^^^^^ no matter what.

My point was more to say "why bother?" The Ex seems like a waste on such a small run. Most of us getting him would do so either way, with or without the miniscule 2mm dart.

The headsculpt would have been nice or the droid but these would have only upped the price I'm sure.

 

[MaulFan]

An alternate head or the assassin droid would be well worth the extra cash to me.

 

[Anzik]

Are there any images or specs of the assassin droid? Maybe from the cross sections books?

 

[Mooncat]

Ive seen some new droids in the Clone Wars episodes but I dont recall an 'assasin droid' or do you mean the floating delivery system for the slugs ?

 

[Anzik]

Yes that one. I found a cartoon picture of it on wookiepedia but I was wondering how hard it would be to make one.

 

[MaulFan]

Hardest part is probably the round body.

 

[Starkiller]

The beard looks weird.

The Obi in clone trooper is 10 times better than this one.

It's the same exact head/sculpt.

 

[Starkiller]

It's the same exact head/sculpt.

The chin looks different to me.

 

[The Mike]

Its eyes playing tricks not to mention the addition of the neck.

 

[Starkiller]

I think it's the paint apps more so than the sculpt.

 

[IrishJedi]

The production paint apps will almost surely be the same.

What black jumpsuit? Armored Obi isn't wearing a black jumpsuit.

You're missing the point entirely. If Hot Toys still utilizes sculpted necks with their TrueType for aesthetic purposes, there is no reason why Sideshow can't use a sculpted neck on their Prometheus with a similar adapter for robed Obi.

One word: poseability. Why the hell would they give us a brand new body, considerably more poseable than the buck, and then cut the articulation for "asthetic" reasons? That doesn't make any sense. And it doesn't really look that bad at all anyway. If you're looking for something aesthetically perfect, pick up a PF. These are "action" figures after all.

 

[lerath666]

and personaly, i'll take articulation over astetic any day. i keep considering gettind a seond joker sculpt, and cutting the neck down and modding it to take another neck.

 

[lerath666]

Personaly, if he's on the buck, I'll likely preorder him, and then cacel him allmost mmeadiately so i can comment on the body choice in the "why are you cacceling feedback. i want this, but not on the buck. If he is, i'll get one later, cheaper, and a second clonobi, and a hot toys body, and bash them together.

What why are you cancelling feedback? Anytime I've cancelled with SSC, you just check off the order number to cancel it and push a button and it's done.

I canceled something a couple days ago and they asked why I was doing it.
