Not sure if it improved the likeness much, but here's my go at lightening the hair. I also added a bit of gray at the sideburns, thickened the eyebrows, and emphasized the wrinkles a bit more (along with some other paint tweaks). His mustache is actually really blonde in the movie, but I was a bit nervous taking it that far with the figure.

For some reason my camera phone still wants to make the hair look a bit dark, but hopefully you still get the idea.

Wow. Looks insanely good. I wish I could paint like that! Your repaint makes the stock version look like a knockoff sculpt lol

Finally, two years later, opened Obi Wan up for real. Had previously done so to take the robe off. He's a good fig.

ROTS Obiwan pairs with Cody looking damn good there.

One random one popped up on Popcultcha for rrp this morning. Every now and again they seem to find a stash of out of stock gems in the warehouse, you've just gotta be quick enough to nab them.

Took a crack at repainting this. It's darker around the back anbd roots, maybe I'm not completely happy with the tone but its a lot better, brightening the eyebrows definitely helps the likenes

Had to redisplay mine after being boxed up for quite a while. Quick pose

Still sad I missed out on this

in May when you see the Disney plus version you may feel better.

or worse because you missed out. i wasn`t going to get into the Prequel trilogy stuff. but something in my gut said to get on the band wagon again so i did. glad i got all i could afford.

The one they make for the show will be amazing. They’ll have so much detail on that one since his face has aged more.

I'm not sure HT will make a lot of figures beyond Kenobi and Vader from this show. Those two will be a given and that could be it.

They still haven't really made a 1/6 from the Fett show, that Fennec is a Mandalorian figure with the Fett branding.

I'm hoping for a couple Inquisitors..although im not too happy with the Grand Inquisitor look. Im not sure what happened in that design phase, but they made perfectly awesome looking Pau'an in Revenge of the Sith. But anyway, I'm looking forward to a Kenobi since my ROTS deluxe disappeared...kills me..but maybe that price will drop a bit when a series Kenobi comes out and I can get a replacement.

I hope they finally release the 212th Clone and Airborne trooper.

If it’s as well received as the Mandalorian then we’ll get loads.

Agree with Smudger9. If it’s a hit like Mando I think they’ll dig a little deeper. Just look at all the Mandalorian based figures that have come out in the last couple years with no end in site there.

BoBF is a show I don’t expect much from though.

To be fair, TBoBF is pretty limited when it comes to new figures, as we didn't get much besides Tuskens, Black Karen, Cobb Vanth (who can also be under Mando line) and Cad Bane. They really didn't expand the supporting cast besides the wookie and Bane, who is already a hit among the fanbase since TCW. I don't think we'll get the Boba from this show until after the Throne version is out either, the versions are too similar.

We had no Empire present in the show, so no new stormtroopers, or any of their variants (where we have 8 in The Mando line) and I don't think they'd give us 2-3 different Tusken Raiders.

While Obi-Wan has a ton of stuff to choose from, 4 Inquisitors, Kenobi, Vader, Purge Troopers, possible new stormtrooper variants and god knows what they'll show in flashbacks.

There appears to be more potential for the Kenobi show just based off the small teaser we got as well.

If there’s purge troopers in show HT will make those no doubt. Would look awesome next to a dark trooper & death trooper.

i imagine the ROTS Kenobi will rise in price as hype rises for the show, unless HT reissues it Which I don’t see since they’ll do his new look.
