I'm not a big fan of the Star Wars prequels but Obi-Wan is my favourite Jedi in the series so I was happy to pick this guy up from Amazon when it was VERY cheap. I'm talking sub £8 cheap.
Obi-Wan only comes with one accessory, which is his blue bladed lightsaber. It's a nicely sculpted piece with neat paint apps. The blade can also be removed from the hilt so that the hilt can be attached to Obi-Wan's belt.
Obi-Wan is a nice looking figure, with nicely sculpted robes - the robes have a nice wool looking texture to them and a nice light brown dry brush that brings out that detail. The skirt part of the robe is a soft rubbery plastic over a soft goods skirt - like we've seen with Darth Maul before.
The paint apps are nice and near over this figure, the eyes are neat and the beard and hair have a nice dark wash to bring out the details, but he also has the distinct white flashes of hair at the side of his head.
There are browns for his boots, belt and under shirt (that you can see under his chin).
There are darker browns and silvers on his belt, that also has sculpted pouches which look really nice.
Overall I think this is a really nice sculpt and quite a good likeness of Obi-Wan.
The articulation is what we've come to expect from the 6" black series figures. The head is on hinge and ball joint so it can look up and down and left and right, his shoulders move up, down, back and forward. Hi elbows bend and his wrists swivel.
Obi-Wan has an ab swivel and crunch, his legs move forward and back and outward a little, a thigh cut, a double jointed knee, and ankle articulation.
I did think something was missing though, and that thing, was a Jedi robe. Thankfully, this is where eBay comes into play.
I really like the robe on this figure. I think it adds a lot to this figure and really, for the price of these figures normally, a robe is something that should have been included originally.
Stay tuned for more toy reviews coming up, including more Black Series figures, Batman, Turtles, and more!
Go Figure!
