I recently recieved the 1/6th Jedi Padawan Obi-wan kenobi.
MOSTLY EXCELLENT FIGURE...
But only mostly.
Fantastic sculpt, Great paint, but he is lacking in a few places.
The larger lightsaber looks bad. REALLY BAD. Like it came with an old hasbro 1/6th figure bad. The blades were slightly warped as well,
Sideshow, please, go back to the earlier thinner lightsaber blades. I also feel the light-up feature was hurt by this as well. It simply dose not look good.
The thinner blades.. much superior.
The other place it's lacking is the plastic belt. it just... looks bad. and dramaticly takes away from the figure overall.
The earlier jedi used very very nice pleather ( or was it actualy leather. no idea) that looked fantastic. Please, on all future releases, go back to those, don't use those awful plastic belts ever again.
If BOTH of these design decisions were made to accomadate the light-up lightsaber... I would request that you drop the light-up sabers in the future, as It dosn't really add anything meaningful to the figure.
It's a neet idea and it sounds great on paper.. but in person it's quite... underwhelming. Mine (and several other collectors I'd wager) will be staying forever in the box.
