Hot Toys MMS477 Obi-Wan Kenobi (Episode 3)

I'm not a massive Star Wars prequel fan, but after seeing how awesome the Anakin Skywalker figure turned out, I had to get this Obi-Wan to complement it. And Hot Toys have certainly done another fantastic job.

It comes pretty well stacked with accessories, even with this standard version. I didn't feel the need to get the Deluxe set with the Luke baby and hologram set. The chopped up Battle Droid is very nicely detailed, and I'm sure a Hot Toys full figure version of that would be pretty amazing.

I havent actually taken any more photos of the figure itself yet as I've been too lazy! But overall the details on the figure are as you would expect with Hot Toys Jedi figures. The robe material is very nice, and I love the way the hood hangs over the head. It doesnt have a wire like the Anakin figure, and works better because of it.

The only thing that scares me about the figure is the hard pleather material used on the boots. Other similar figures have softer pleather, but this one is harder and feels like it might be more prone to cracking over time. I won't be overdoing the poses on this one anyway, so hopefully it's not a long term issue.

There were early complaints about the softness in the head sculpt, but I think it's on par with all the other figures that Hot Toys have released. The paint application and skin tone are the usual high standard, and the detailing in the beard is very nice too. The likeness is a perfect representation of Obi-Wan in Episode 3.

It looks amazing next to Anakin, and hopefully Hot Toys continues this great work with Qui-Gon Jinn. I'm sure they'll announce an Episode 1 Obi-Wan too, so collectors really can get the full Obi-wan evolution in Hot Toys figures!

Hot Toys MMS283 Obi-wan Kenobi

My first of the new Hot Toys core cast of Star Wars figures arrive the other week. And what an absolutely amazing figure it is! This figure just proves without a doubt why Hot Toys is by far the best in the 1/6th game right now, setting a standard that other companies can only aspire to right now.

Here's my full video review below over on the Kool Kollectibles YouTube channel. Hope you can check it out :)

Package art is pretty much the stock standard boring style mandated by Lucasfilm. But it does the job, and the insert art is pretty nice.

Content wise, it doesn't come with much, but the light-up sabre is a nice touch. I probably won't use it, but the option is good to have for photo opportunities.

The stand out of course is the head sculpt and layered outfit for me. The attention to detail, such as the patchwork on the inner outfit, is just superb! The material of the outer robe is fantastic, with a coarser outer layer but nice soft inner layer - just awesome tailoring in this scale.

If this is the quality that Hot Toys will push out for the remainder of the core Star Wars cast, then I think every Star Wars fan's dream will come to reality very soon! These are simply amazing figures, and Hot Toys is doing these iconic characters justice for sure!
