The figures succeeding in standing whenever Robo's trying to say how they have trouble with that... is my new favorite running gag of all time.

If by "dead version" you mean the empty robe and fallen lightsaber, I actually think it's an inspired and beautiful design decision. Think about what that image represents in the story. Like Jesus' empty tomb in the Bible story, it means that Kenobi is *_not_* dead, and that something miraculous has happened. Because of the nature of his act, Kenobi is more present at that moment than at any point in the entire saga.

The lightsaber not falling off was just perfection

I don't know why it's taking me this long to find your reviews but they're informative, clever and hilarious and really worthwhile thanks so much

Obi-Wan was sitting for almost half of the movie. lol In his hut, The cantina, Landspeeder, and in the Falcon. So not being able to recreate ANY of those scenes without a fabric cloth is a huge bummer. And TBH Compared to the first SHF Star Wars figures like Mace Windu or Maul, the new face sculpts look a bit......dull.....especially with lack of paint.

Commander Shepard Sadly Both the Black Series and Figuarts Suffer from Plastic Lower Robes, which Makes Seating either Figure Impossible, Unless You Shove them into the Landspeeder.

So cool seeing him on display at the end! Great review!

Man , I love your reviews, Robo! Informative and funny! A rare and welcome combination!

Thank you for the Crash Test Dummies reference, Robo. I’ll buy this fig when its’ price hits SHF Jango Fett’s level. Loved the cloth robe /speeder combo.

Those shots at the end are FANTASTIC!

Dude, great review as always! I saw your insta post today and thought that the cloth looks miles better, especially when you actually show it on camera in the video. I, personally, would get an extra Mace Windu (for the plain tunic arms), attach them to the body of this Obi and paint the arms to match the color, but that would be a bit cost in-effective and you’d ruin a good SHF (Mace), but I digress. Great review, Robo and I look forward to more soon!

I almost mentioned that they should have included inner robe arms but then noticed they painted the shoulder butterfly joint half outer robe dark brown, so they kind of screwed themselves out of that. Cloth covers all of that though, I love the look of it now.

Great review Killah. Mine is in the mail as we speak. Might have to finally look into a custom cloth cape. Looks awesome on this figure. Thanks buddy.

Awesome, honest review. An incredible recreation of the greatest on-screen jedi.

Excellent as always...this review was exceptionally hilarious. You sir are in a league of your own 🙌🏼

Killer boots man! Looks fantastic with the hood up, open eyes face & light saber in hand IMO. I prefer the plastic cape as not a fan of the cloth cape appearance (but I only plan to display him standing). Won't ever use the sleepy face or the floor cape but who cares as gonna look incredible with the other SHFA New Hope fig.'s & rest SWBS with the 40th anniversary pack stand in the backdrop. Was sorta on the fence about picking this one up after viewing the prototype but very glad I pulled the trigger. Thanks again for the thorough review & providing your take on the fig.

Damn Robo! I have the same Rickhor409 robe I set aside just for this figure! When mine arrives in 2 weeks I will be making a full replacement. Great review as always!!

They did about as well as you can ask for without using any fabric. Are you able to swap out the arms from the epI or II Obi-Wans for a cloakless look? A bit of tan paint on the butterfly pieces, or swap them out too, and it oughta work out pretty well for your "he was a good friend" dioramas. I also appreciate the deep cut from Gus.

Yeah I was curious if the head could pop off and be put onto the younger obiwan body?

Gotta say I agree with you, Robo: the likeness and overall quality of the figure is, imo, amazing but the figure isn't without its flaws/complications. My main suggestions to improve it (if I could have any kind of influence over bandai, haha) would be 1. Cloth Cape 2. Some shading in the hair. But that's about it, for a SHF of OLD MAN OBI WAN (who barely moves in the movie), I think it's pretty solid. Speaking about solid, I want to say I appreciate all the visible editing that goes into your recent videos in order to make them entertaining and funny (without dropping the main priority, which is being informative). Good work, Robo!

This review made me laugh more then a few times. Thanks, great job

I just came here for the GUS. Although, that Force Vanished pile of Robe under Vaders foot was interesting. I personally would like to see Force Vanished Yoda Blanket next. LOL Great video!

I passed and I'm happy with that for now. I repainted my HBS head, figure, hands, the lot! So, that coupled with the cloth robe and lack of action poses means I'm happy with it. Interestingly, I thought the head photographed better than the video footage show, maybe it works better under a more muted light? Though a good level of accessories with it and good hand selection, so plaudits for that!

Great review. Dialogues are crazy fun. Please, where did you buy cloth robe? Thanks

I find that the cloth one gets when they buy new glasses, the one you use to clean them is the best kind of cloth to use for robes to scale. It just drapes so naturally.

We just can’t win when it comes to soft goods vrs plastic/rubber. While I like the look of his robes and like you said old man didn’t do form 4 ataru so him not being able to do dynamic poses isn’t the worst. But it’s not just about ANH I know I like creating my own scenes and stories and for the dollar amount should be able to pose old man playing fracking twister if I want to. We as collectors just can’t win. Now I can go buy a cheap looking robe 3rd party or even a gorgeous one from an un named 3rd party for $70 but I already have that much into this figure and shouldn’t have to. Guess I gotta complain about something. Great review Roboh!

Robo, I love you man. You keep being you. 😄😂😂😂😂. The fact that you actually review toys while doing comedy is a bonus. Also, while they did a nice likeness of Sir Alec Guinness, I keep seeing Pete Townshend in the face. Guess it's the nose.

Monsieur Robo! Not an action figure of "an old man", but of Sir Alec Guinness (of "Dr Zhivago" and "Lawrence of Arabia" fame) in a vaguely Japanese bathrobe (is it from that George Lucas movie he did in the late 70s?)

This review was brilliant, very funny. Keep being you dude.

Great Review as Always. I agree 100% that the Softgoods Robes are the way to go with this figure. It looks So Much Better than the Plastic Robes Figuarts did. That Plastic Hood looks Horrible no matter how You display it. It's also a shame they couldn't get the hands right to get him in that Classic, Double Handed Saber Pose to go with Vader.

The shoulder butterfly piece is actually painted half light brown, half dark brown, so switching the arms wouldn't work unless you did some painting.

I really like the BS use of soft goods for stuff like this. Though it makes me hope Mezco will do SW figures at some point just so I can be extra special angry over that. I completely forgot about this figure coming out and I haven't gotten the BS one either. I'm real split on what to do.

Seeing those "Balls" at the Elbows and Knees really distract from the Sculpt, as do the Cuts for the Butterfly Joints. It's all just a matter of Preference. Hasbro are Really Stepping Up Their Game. Not Only have they Vastly Improved their Face Paint with the PhotoReal paint apps, they're Constantly improving Articulation, but not at the Expense of the Sculpt. Jaina Solo is a Great Example of their Improved Articulation. Most newer figures can get a 45° bend now, with a Single Elbow. They've gone to a Dumbbell Joint for most of the newer Neck Articulation and even a Double Dumbbell joint on Young Lando's Neck, with a separate Neck piece.

Although i think the plastic capes/ robes look better, they are too much of a hindrance to the articulation. Figures like this with a lot of robes should be done in soft goods. However i think they can find a better material for the soft goods than they usually use. Needs to be a material that actually hangs and doesnt look poofy or sticks up in weird positions. There was a neca batman that used almost a silk like material that i think would work really good for soft goods capes and robes on a lot of figures. I think it was the neca vs predator figure that had that silk like cape material.
