TPM Obi-Wan Looks so great as any other S.H. Figuarts. But honestly, this is the first time I'm really undecided aboug getting a figure of this line... I mean, this is perhaps the most boring look of the character, aside from the fact that The Phantom Menace is the most disappointing Star Wars movie ever made. I know, the trio lighsaber duel was funny, but here I open a new debate.
What do you collect?
A) By the likeness of the character itself. An easy, reasonable and affordable way to collect, because is based exclusively on a personal choose by the appealing.
B) By the relevance of the character on screen and the desire to portrait it. Nearly a completist way, because every Star Wars scene can be "iconic".
All that said, and even though I really don't care about the Jedi order from prequels, I would prefer the ROTS likeness.
I always thought that Episode 1 never should start telling the origin of the characters. I had just started with the outbreak of the Clone Wars. Thus all the characters could have been developed more deeply.
So, I can accept Darth Maul as an iconic character, because he can live out of the margins of the story, so to speak, but I don't care about Padawan versions of Obi-Wan or Anakin. Then, I don't need to build the Duel of the Fates scene.

They already showed off an Episode II/III Obi-Wan prototype, and let's face it: beard+mullet is going to win every time over clean shaven+rat tail with this particular character. If I had (or indeed had any interest in) Darth Maul, I guess they'd make a neat display fighting each other. As it stands, I'll wait for the next version and consider the possibilities for scratchbuilding a 1/12 Episode II Jedi Starfighter in the meantime.
The likeness and how well made this figure is, is really tempting me. But I think I'll save the money for the ANH version instead. The only non OT figure that I have would be Maul.

How does he have a boring likeness? You mean how the figure presents itself: normal and pissed-off face?
I don't know about you, having ShF make a human character (Luke Skywalker) is to me a perfect rendition of his likeness and so goes for the upcoming Bruce Lee and Freddie Mercury figures.

I understand your confusion... My native language is not english.
So, well, I did mean that Padawan Kenobi, in general terms, isn't the best representation of the character in the prequels.
So, I see the Kenobi essence in AOTC and ROTS better than TPM. And, If I had to choose, I would prefer ROTS version as the Obi-Wan "iconic character" look from the prequels. Then, I can pass on the two previous versions. I can imagine the ROTS desing being used in the three prequel movies.
Anyway, I should use "look" instead of "likeness"... sorry.

Buddy, your English is better than most of the Americans I know... lol. If I had to make a post in your language, it would just be some goofy translations from Google and you'd see me for the idiot I am! So my point being, I think you did great.

Wow! Thanks!
Anytime! It's a pet peeve of mine when my fellow Americans bash someone because they speak broken English. It would be a safe bet they couldn't do half as well in that person's country.

First review with the new and improved setup! Let me know how it is
There's some more pics of the Obi-wan here partially out of the box. Spare face looks much better than the neutral face.

I really don't like this final result. Easy pass.
Actually, I don't like so much the Jedi Luke. I find some disappointing weirdness on that slim look and face painting. I'm more satisfied with Maul, Kylo, Droid, Clone and FO Stormie.

Inspired by the people here, I decided to mod my Kylo Ren with the black series robe as well, and also repainted the ML CAII Winter Soldier Bucky's head as Ben Solo's head (80% WIP). I know it doesn't look like him but it's the next closest thing for me until Hasbro or someone release an unmasked version of him.
