High expectations for this one. I hope they won't fail on the paintjob.

I think that's everyone's biggest concern. I know it's mine.

Please don't screw this one up, Sideshow!

Yea, and it's the worst thing too. Someone's got to take the leap. Can't tell if it's a hit or a miss before it shows up on the doorstep...

Well...I'll be taking the leap. I've been drooling over this statue ever since it was shown at last years SDCC.

Re: Obi-Wan Kenobi Maquette

The Obi-Wan head sculpt shown in the 'production peek' from December grabbed right ahold of me and never let up. I love that the focus is on Kenobi's exile period, and Obi-Wan's graying hair, tanned skin and stern expression all capture the time beautifully. The clone armour and Anakin's lightsaber are welcome details that help to tell the story of the character and bring life to the piece. The addition of the Ben head is the icing on the cake, but frankly, what I've seen of the Obi-Wan head was enough to sell me on this alone.

I will agree with those who say Kenobi's saber hilt seems undersized in the hand, with a blade that comes in a tad short. Adjusting these issues before production would make things just about perfect to my eyes.

I have to admit that the excitement over the previews have me entertaining visions of an Ewan McGregor guest spot on the upcoming 'Underworld'. I suppose my question to those more in-the-know with Sideshow's production schedules is whether we can expect a pre-order anytime before the LAS makes an appearance?

I think the most striking thing about the sculpt is the ability to capture the "mental wear" on Obi-Wan. As soon as I saw it, I could feel the stress and weight he felt from his and Yoda's failures. Trevor is an absolute master and seems to be getting better (scary!)

Wow, first time I've seen this piece. I'm not into static dioramas or PFs at all (only PFs I've considered being C-3PO/R2 and Carbonite Han -- assuming they fix the crinkly carbonite problem -- due to how iconic they are and easy to display away from the 1/6 stuff), but might have to change my mind on this one. Fantastic sculpt and really packs a lot of emotion in it. Could see picking this up for sure.

Re: Obi-Wan Kenobi Maquette

I'm disappointed that we haven't heard anything on this statue so far.

I'm ready to hear about the next three. They need to move it.

Re: Obi-Wan Kenobi Maquette

Yea, some news or anything would be nice.

Re: Obi-Wan Kenobi Maquette

What size is this thing?

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Re: Obi-Wan Kenobi Maquette

Probably 1/5th.

Re: Obi-Wan Kenobi Maquette

I really wonder what is taking them so long to officially reveal the product and put it up for pre-order. We've been talking about this for what, nearly a year now?

Anyways, I'm still very interested in the line. I hope the scale is 1:5. If it's any smaller, then I'll probably pass.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Re: Obi-Wan Kenobi Maquette

Based on all of their most recent maquettes I am sure it's 1/5th.

Re: Obi-Wan Kenobi Maquette

Its got a lot of interest from people me included, just wonder why its taking so long?. This is the one Obi Wan piece ive seen that I really want.

Re: Obi-Wan Kenobi Maquette

It's definitely at least 1/5 scale.

Re: Obi-Wan Kenobi Maquette

It needs to be made into a 1:6 figure.
Best original character idea EVER.

I was thinking the same thing... I wonder what the chances of that
happening would be.
