TPM Obi-Wan in '07?

[MaulFan]

I was visiting Rebelscum today and they've posted an interview relative to the Darth Maul figure and part of this interview was this:

RS: Sure, Darth Maul gets to fight Qui-Gon when ever he feels like it, but how long are we going to have to wait for him to have a buddy or another sparring partner?

JC: All in good time...

I lit up a little when I saw this, here's to hoping we'll get him this year

 

[EVILFACE]

I say prolly next year. I think this year is going to be OT heavy.

 

[jason2885]

Well of course they are going to make TPM Obi-Wan eventually. I kind of hope its next year so we can get Old Ben this year.

 

[Protozaius]

Since there are so many versions of some Sar Wars characters, I'd like to see one version of that figure every year. Like the Luke released in '06 was the Jedi version. '07 could be a Tatooine Luke next year the Bespin fatigues version. Same with Obi-Wan. This year the Guiness version... next year TPM.

 

[Darth Sheba]

Yeah, I think it'll be next year.

 

[The Josh]

That's cool! I'd say late this year early next for this one. There are still a few more guys/gals I'd like to see first.

 

[galactiboy]

This year the Guiness version... next year TPM.

That sounds like a solid plan to me!!!

 

[pixletwin]

TPM OB1 will be later rather than sooner, me thinks. Don't read too much into cryptic statements like that.

Old Ben will come before youngen' Ben.

 

[MaulFan]

This year the Guiness version...

Does that mean he'll be drunk haha

As for what we'll see, I'd like Old Ben and Young Ben this year, a beginning and end display

 

[The Mike]

I have to agree with the leading comments that if we get an Obi-Wan Kenobi this year it'll be the Alec Guinness version and that we'll see the TPM version next year, maybe. It all depends on how bundled they want to make their releases, there is a chance that they might want to release some AOTC versions like Anakin and Dooku where I could see the AOTC version of Obi-Wan winning out.

 

[IrishJedi]

Then again, who would have ever thought that we'd see a BUBO figure before either of these Obi-Wan's?

You never know with SSC

I took that to mean "when will MAUL have a buddy or sparring partner?", which would translate into "When is the next Sith Lord?"

Here's to hoping for a Toy Fair announcement for Darth Sidious w/ alternate heads!!!!

 

[The ill Jedi]

I don't care when he's coming, as long as I get him!

 

[Buttmunch]

I just can't see three Obi-Wans in three years. We'll be lucky if we get Old Ben this year. I think we need a year or two apart after that for a TPM Obi-Wan. I just don't think we should waste all of the variants so soon. Besides the entire line could just be made up of Luke, Anakin, Padme, Leia, and Obi-wan variants if we keep that up.

That was my thought too. Seems like this could lead toward a TPM Obi or a Sidious, depending on context. I'll take either but Sidious would definitely be a higher priority! :emperor

 

[pickard]

With all their different outfits, we could get a Luke, Leia, Obi-Wan, Anakin & Padme each year. (Like Buttmunch said above, d'oh. )

If we get an Obi-wan this year, especially in light of the anniversary, I'd like to get old Ben.

 

[DarkArtist81]

I would say Old Ben before Padawan Obi.... we will get him eventually, but I would say next year at the soonest. This year is the OT year, all the way.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Well it mentions qui-gon so they must be referring to ep 1 obi. Of all the PT characters he and Anakin are the ones that change the most and should get a figure for each film.

 

[King Darkness]

I would say Old Ben before Padawan Obi....

Yup give me Old Ben before young Ben. Actually aside from Vader, Old Ben is one of my most wanted figures from the SW line. I hope to see it this year.

 

[MaulFan]

I would say Old Ben before Padawan Obi

I say no, I say both at once
