Hot Toys x Obi-Wan Kenobi - "Purge Trooper" - 1/6 Collectible Figure

[Hoody999]

It's definitely a cool design and colour combo. Just they messed it up changing design from Fallen Order and having them do absolutely nothing in the show.

I think I'll wait on this one as well, as much as I like this pose and look.

Meh. I was really hoping for the Jedi Fallen Order Purge Troopers along with the Second Sister.

But it seems Hot Toys has decided to pass over that game entirely .

 

[Chopper Face]

Yawn.
Classic Hot Toys. Completely embarrassing themselves on the day InArt shows why the collecting community is eager to crown a new king.

I actually think the design is cool. Like a perfect stew of Clone, Death and Stormtrooper with a splash of Vader. Too bad the show did absolutely nothing to showcase this.

Not gonna buy this for $300+ though lol.

If the price is right, I would snatch it and then either make one commission the Fallen Order head. Only way were getting Fallen Order Figures. He can also use the Electric Staff from one of my Coruscant Guards.

I wonder if they need to pay extra $ in terms of licensing to make game figures. The Imperial Flame Trooper would make a great 1/6 figure as well.

It's Pennywise, pinch hitter is not needed.

Better price than expected but I'll wait for discounts to occur...

Almost every major part of the design is different from the Airborne Clone based JFO Purge Trooper though. I want the JFO version but just putting the helmet on this one would really bother me.

Most of the armor is different as is the kama in both style and material, and the pauldron design as well.

Easiest would be if they finally do the 212th Airborne for maybe ROTS 20th and do a full repaint. Although technically any Clone would do if you put the Airborne helmet and appropriate accessories on it which I’ve considered doing.

All I need from this series is battle damaged Vader and Kenobi.

Thought the show was mediocre overall but that scene was memorable.

 

[Ramatuelle]

You'd think they'd show neuVader, and THEN these guys to flank him. HT is really weird sometimes.

I got a "thank you" coupon today so for $215 I'll grab it. Not what I expected as the first Kenobi figure, but we had to all know it was coming.

Same price as Qui-Gon… Probably the last “decently” priced figure with a head sculpt we’ll ever get from HT.

I'm a Trooper collector and this one just doesn't work, for me. Put me down in the "meh" group.

I think this current crop of the $260 range figures with sculpts is still reasonable like Snowspeeder Luke, Rex, Ahsoka, and Maul.

The $285+ range is where it’s start feeling less decent. Soon anything with a sculpt will be $300 before shipping and tax (if applicable) at which point unboxing a figure is going to feel like

Granted we’ve already experienced that with Iron Man figures but still. The Diecast line may be overpriced but a $300+ “normal” figure would hit differently.

Looks cool and all but it's a trooper we barely saw on screen that did nothing.
I know some trooper collectors don't care about that (they bought the patrol trooper from Solo after all).

The Spacetrooper will beat the Patrol Trooper in screen time category .

Completely forgot about the Spacetrooper from ANH. Incredible that trooper ended up getting made. I have no idea how popular that figure was with collectors at the time.

If this trooper had done something in the show it would still have been a big maybe. But meh. Glad it saves me money!
