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

[davejames]

Yep.. I think that’s about all they did.

And they didn't even do that all that well. Lol

 

[hen88]

I had a feeling that this would be the first release. It’s weird that they go to the trouble of designing this armor and producing it for the show, and it gets barely a sliver of screen time, and not even a close up. This release is an easy pass for me.

HotDisneyToys wanna purge u of your money.

 

[sithocan]

A snowtrooper reissue would sell better than this.

Maybe if they actually did anything I’d care. These troopers were designed to take on Jedi, as seen in Fallen Order, yet in Kenobi we only see them get drowned then walk straight up to him with blasters and instantly get cut down.

I really hope Andor makes the Empire feel like a force to be reckoned with because so far in Disney SW they’ve been treated as a joke.

This also looks like a Sequel Trilogy design.

I agree this does look like a sequel trilogy design, helmets ugly and overall figure looks bad design wise (not HTs fault) very easy pass on my side.

I think if the series paired these two flanking Vader pursuing Jedi, they'd be a lot more likely to sell. The back of the helmet is Vader'esque and if they were shown as his elite squadron of some sort I might get two to flank a OWK Vader... Honestly, they'd look pretty cool next to Gideon as well with the color scheme...but not at $300 a pop.

 

[Joe Prince]

Knew this one was coming. Easy for them to do.
What else are they gonna do? Reeva? Maybe in a limited run.
Or a Luke Leia 2pk? Owen and Breu?
All of it is LAME. Rather have more OT/PT
BUT Andor is up next for live action so will see...Hoping Kennric is re-released.

 

[BurningRage]

It’s a no from me dawg

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

I just feel sorry for the stores that stock this. Sequel trooper peg warmers all over again. Oh well. Keep saving me money HT

 

[Victοr]

I might (read "probably not") pick this up in 5 years if it's pegwarming somewhere so that I can make it flank my Vader or something. It's funny though. When InArt put up their Joker, HT had Gilgamesh, from The Eternals. Today InArt showed their Pennywise and HT showed this. Coincidences...

 

[Tazzy2918]

So this is the first announcement from the show? Not Obi-Wan? Some random trooper? Good call HT!

I had my money on the jawa with the vest...how did they miss that one?

HT are just boring me lately, there was a point where I had almost every Star Wars figure on pre-order and now that list is quickly shrinking...

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Purge as in purge from your collection...the shoulder pauldron and skirt WILL flake!

You seem to have mentioned the flaking issue a few times, is that happening in BC climate?

 

[MyenShi]

I think if the series paired these two flanking Vader pursuing Jedi, they'd be a lot more likely to sell.

My mind is so stuck on the pleather kama that I thought you said “these two flaking Vader.”

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Getting one for sure. Having this bat lead off shows HT are not ready at all for the rest of the line.

 

[KerotanFrog]

Patiently waiting for the actual characters, but good to see the ball is finally rolling. Pass for me.

 

[Bilbo Skywalker]

Looks animated to me. Like a rebels stormtrooper helmet.

They had a cool design in the game. I could barely make out what they even looked like in the show.
