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

[Spanbauer]

Kind of the ****** part about all this. Both the helmet and the battle damage helmet/sculpt are worth the display.

I lean towards the BD helmet though because of how unique it is. We've gotten a lot of clean helmet Vader throughout the years but no half reveal.

So the full helmet isn’t a reuse from a past Vader figure?

I’m kind of thinking of using the new clean helmet with my ANH Vader if possible.

I haven't gotten any email for my deluxe exclusive yet.....

But I did buy a parted out HT ANH cod piece last year right after I placed my PO for this...

What date did everyone that got an email PO this? I PO'd it on 8/15/22....

I ordered on 07/28/22 so about 2 weeks before you. Most likely in the next batch then.

This is possibly the greatest figure Hot Toys has ever released from one of the best scenes (if not the best) in Star Wars history.

I watched it again today. You’re not wrong.

Sorry but the end battle of ROTS is easily takes the cigar. Greatest fight scene in all of Star Wars and possibly all of cinema

Shares some similarities to Rogue One’s but mouth areas are completely new. There has not been another HT Vader that used this helmet.

Agreed! No lightsaber battle since has been able to beat it even with all the tech they have today. Some might say there are some in the animated shows like TCW or Rebels, but to me, those just don't have the same impact.

I haven't owned the ESB Vader, but based on pics, this appears to be a totally new helmet sculpt surprisingly enough. Even different from the RO helmet. Maybe I'm wrong and someone with a keener eye can verify, but this looks brand new to me.

Are the eyes red? It's difficult to tell with the photos.

They probably are, but just like some previous Vaders, you'll need to add some white paper/paint to the back of the lenses to really make the red pop. On my ANH Vader, I used the shiny side of some aluminum foil as I felt white made it too red but both ways make it look really cool and of course more accurate. The problem is popping the head open to get to the lenses.

This is a very nice piece, however I could never own this and place on my shelf. It will remind me of Reva, young Leia and the terrible and disappointing show that was OBI WAN KENOBI. Eliminate those characters, condense the story, reduce the brightness of the lightsabers and make it a theatrical release. Nobody should be buying Hot Toys from Disney+ streaming shows......nobody!!

I agree but as long as the tunic can be placed over the chest armour, this will serve as a decent ANH ver for me.

I grabbed a spare ANH codpiece from eBay in case this one is glaringly....endowed in person.

Everything else though looks primo, like a reward for not jumping on any Vaders which preceded this.

I bought one of Toy Anxiety months ago knowing we would see this as the one mod people would do,,,,

You forgot the terrible shakey cam that makes it unwatchable
