Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi - 1/6th scale Darth Vader™ Figure

[Spanbauer]

Which is irritating to be sooooooo close, yet so far away. We have to wait to the 20th for ROTS, I expect

With their love of Iron Man suit-up gantries, I bet Hot Toys has thought about doing one for Vader…

Man I'd like to see an ESB Meditation Chamber or heck, a RO Vader in Bacta Tank!

How did he protect his eyes from popping?

They look completely unscathed. Even eyelashes still.

His eyes had the high ground.

Jazz did a Meditation Chamber for Darth a while back. If you're nice to him he might make a one-off special one for you!

Bacta tank Vader for the win!

That scene always bothers me because they arranged the shots out of order. The machine attaches an arm, and in the very next shot of that arm it's no longer attached. It's painfully noticeable and even if they really wanted to retain this specific shot order, it could have been easily avoided with some minor cropping of the frame in the following shot.
The editing of that whole season was amateur hour.

Yeah and the chest plate attached when the body suit is not even on, but on the next scene magically the full body suit is there.

So the deluxe clean helmet is a rehash R1 helmet with nice tusks? Might be the photos I've skimmed over but looks like a shiny ANH helmet. With the ROTJ revealed as well it seems the quarter scale is the only good Vader helmet we're getting from hot toys. Shame I don't collect that scale they wont get my money.

So we are now close to the release period for this guy.

 

[aksimpson123]

This should be dropping soon right?

I thought so too but Sideshow have extended his release window to March 2024.
As far as I remember his release window was Oct - Dec 2023 now it's Oct 2023 - March 2024.

Sideshow pushed the final payment for him and Obi Wan to November but I'm sure they'll continue to push it back as far as they have to before they receive the stock.

Whatevs. Paid him off. Just dont go Big Chief on me.

Oh that would suck big time. Sideshow has most of our wallets funds locked up so no chapter 11 risk there no...

I have to admit, after losing $2000 to Big Chief, it is at the back of my mind every preorder I make. I haven't (and never will again) opted for any sort of flex pay plan since.

A wise decision. Warranties and card guarantees are out the window with payment plans, especially since they (payment plans) kick in after ordering at many retailers, which may result in a lock-in period long before item is released (as I assume happened to you, also happened to me with TW).

 

[Bacara]

My final Flex payment for this has just been put back to January. No change as yet for the Obi Wan

Looking excellent. Is there a page somewhere to see all of these figure photos in one place? I tried poking around Denkegi’s website earlier but had no luck navigating the Japanese…

Edit: nevermind! Found their Facebook page and got to the gallery that way.
