Hot Toys OBI-WAN KENOBI DX26 Review and Unboxing

[@toddscollectibles980]

Congratulations on getting this one bud, I know you been really forward to getting him. I quite like the diorama base and looks great with the figure!! Am not impressed with the show so it's a pass for me. More than happy with the two I have. But great detail on this figure and will look amazing with Darth Vader. Great review as always bud, your video's are top quality 👌

[@TK421Collectibles]

I was surprised how good it looks with that diorama base too! The figure just nicely conceals the posts holding the rocks but it still looks like the rocks are levitating! Very well designed, it's a shame I have no space to display it 😅 Thanks for watching mate and for your kind words about the videos!! 👊🏻

[@EdCollects-it]

Hello there! This Kenobi looks great and I’m really enjoying this updated sculpt. Great review as always.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Cheers Ed! Yeah Hot Toys really levelled up that head sculpt!! Thanks for watching mate! 🙌🏻

[@seanmarwood7151]

Great video as standard. Great figure, love mine!! 🙏

[@TK421Collectibles]

Thank you Sean!! Glad you like this figure too! 😃 🙌🏻

[@robertbeard8207]

I'm usually way behind you! catching up! Kenobi special edition with saber box due tomorrow. 😊

[@TK421Collectibles]

Haha congrats on the imminent arrival Robert! Mine would have been a bit sooner tbh but on this occasion FedEx seemed to give it a tour of the UK for some reason! 😅 Cheers for watching mate! 🙌🏻

[@daniel_sc1024]

Snap!!!! Out of the park, Chris! That head sculpt looks great on the Mando Armor figure....I might try to get a second head sculpt for that purpose. Glad it turned out to be such a great figure, now I am even more excited to get it.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yeah mate I was super pleased with how he turned out! I think you’re going really like this one! This headsculpt might get pricey as everyone tries to get it for their other Kenobi figures 😅 thanks for watching Daniel! 🙌🏻

[@brandonoltman4411]

Amazing review. Wild how the ring light makes it feel like he has sith eyes

[@TK421Collectibles]

Haha I did not notice that tbh but yeah I see what you mean!! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻

[@TheOneAdamTwelve]

Awesome video, Dude. This is my favorite Ewan Obi Wan so far. A fantastic figure.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Cheers mate!! I still need to stop by and check out your vid just been crazy busy the past few days. I'm with you there this is my fave Ewan sculpt so far! too! 👊🏻

[@ericheinke2865]

This Obi-Wan Kenobi is awesome. Can't wait to get this into my collection. Hopefully, a Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. 2.0 Revenge of the Sith.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Congrats, hope yours arrives soon!! 👍🏻 and yeah would love TPM and AOTC versions too!! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻

[@steve1315]

A nice figure was watching episode iii last night. Did think oneself that binoculars looked like a PlayStation controller 😂😂.I wouldn't mind spaghetti sausage hair 😂😂

[@TK421Collectibles]

Ooh I love Episode III !!! And yeah definitely a controller isn't it! 😅 Cheers for watching Steve! 🙌🏻

[@curtisboothe1763]

I love it when I hope on and there’s a awesome video uploaded literally this video is less than a minute old when I opened KZbin at 3:12 am gotta love that timing! Another great video!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Haha that's awesome, great timing!! 😃 Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙌🏻

[@StacyJedi291]

Hey great unboxing and review! Obiwan is my favorite character in all of Star Wars! I cant wait to get mine! Hopefully I will get him soon!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Thank you!! Obi-Wan is a legendary character isn’t he!! Congrats on your imminent delivery of this figure, hopefully you won’t have to wait long 🤞🏻Cheers for watching 🙌🏻

[@nikhayward485]

Brilliant video my friend. Been eagerly awaiting for you to upload. Cracking figure with an amazing head sculpt. Keep up with the fantastic content as it’s much appreciated by the community. 👍

[@TK421Collectibles]

Thank you Nik, I really appreciate the comment and your kind words!! Cheers for checking out the vids! 🙌🏻

[@ValkyrieMagnus]

I definitely think this is a great sculpt and I can’t wait to get mine great figure and congrats on the pick up!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yeah you’re gonna love it!! Thanks for checking out the vid!! 🙌🏻

[@beskarkid]

I really like that last pose. Well done! What a turnaround on this HS too. Would have been content with the proto, but this is absolutely magnificent! Congrats man 🤘🤘🍻💯

[@TK421Collectibles]

Thank you mate!! I've just left him in that pose for now, as still not sure how to display him, so many options! Agreed, we would have been happy with the original HS wouldn't we - I think we're just like "more Star Wars, give it to me!!" 😃 But yeah the head sculpt definitely levelled up which is a cool bonus! Thanks for watching mate 🙌🏻

[@biggreeve5511]

I was so tempted over this figure and decided not to go with it, I wasn’t a fan of the headsculpt and then now of course they blow it out the park with a updated sculpt

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yes they really levelled it up didn't they!! Shame you decided to swerve it but fully understandable as the first iteration of the sculpt wasn't too great was it!! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻

[@mandyburton9798]

Nice one Chris. Love my Obi, I’m going to get his clothes weathered by my mate, it a bit too clean for me. Also dyed the saber cloth with tea as was also too clean. My favourite Obi Wan to date, love it.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Thats a great plan Mandy, you're right, there's literally no weathering on those robes is there! I am looking forward to seeing how that turns out if you get chance to take some shots. Thanks for watching Mandy!

[@YodaPagoda]

I really can't wait for my Obi-Wan to arrive, hopefully Sideshow gets their stock moved out quickly! I got the Deluxe just for the lightsaber box, and I'm glad it's not cardboard like Doc Brown's plutonium case! I enjoyed most of the Obi-Wan Kenobi show, it's too bad we weren't able to get a Little Leia to pair with Obi-Wan here. I'll display him with the rock diorama most likely!

[@TK421Collectibles]

A Leia in this set would have been fantastic! And yeah the saber box is surprisingly good, not essential but a nice little bonus! Saw the plutonium case and yeah that must have been quite disappointing tbh! But this box is great 👍🏻 Displaying is tricky because the rocks diorama works *really* well, but I’m also loving the robed look too! Hope you get yours soon! 🙌🏻

[@davidbridgeman8118]

Best looking Obi sculpt so far, no question. Still to order this one. It’s a banger! Love the robed look best - it’s a really good looking figure! All the Inquisitors again on the packaging - when are we getting them?! The longer it’s taking, the more doubtful I’m getting…. Great review mate - especially loved the comparisons and head swaps! 👍🏼

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yeah agreed I really like the robed look for this one too! Hope you manage to get one. And yeah I agree I think they're done with the Kenobi line unfortunately, so we're not going to see those remaining Inquisitors 🥺 Thanks for watching mate and for commenting 🙌🏻

[@maverickcollector8129]

Great review as ever Chris..... I totally agree I think this is the best head sculpt , Im itching to display this ,I've got this and the latest ROTJ Vader still in the box ,I've got to have swap around as I have no room ,I've even put my General Grievous up for sale as he was taking up so much space

[@TK421Collectibles]

Oh no you need to get unboxing mate!! 😅 Interesting I did the same with my Grievous too! But will likely end up with the Hot Toys one so will be back to Grievous taking up loads of space one way or another 😅🤦🏻‍♂️ Thanks for watching! 🙌🏻

[@LisaWhite-nw8cg]

My other half always looks forward to your reviews, He did not get this figures but got the Vader from the show

[@TK421Collectibles]

Well thank your other half for watching and thank you for commenting!! 😃 And good choice, that Vader is awesome!! 🙌🏻

[@lycanoftheunderworldselene]

Mine is arriving on Thursday from popcollectibles. Really looking forward to putting him in my collection.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Congrats mate!! You're gonna love it! 🙌🏻

[@lycanoftheunderworldselene]

​@TK421Collectibles which star wars figure do you think will be released next?I'm thinking Moff Gideon

[@TK421Collectibles]

I reckon you're right, it could be Gideon - or I think maybe Tech. But who knows, Hot Toys just randomly do what they want sometimes! 😁

[@andrewmeloy9604]

Great figure, what a massive improvement, makes a world of difference and I am sure there will be a lot ,more collectors keen to pick it up just now. Big fan of Ewan McGregor who I seen got his own star on the Hollywood walk of fame! . A great addition to any collection and in my opinion your best McGregor Obi Wan 😀. Your collection room must be fit to burst? and with so many great figures non Star Wars as well I guess you are going to have to find a cunning plan for future displays🤞thanks for sharing your thoughts and as always mind how you go 😃

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yes I've heard this a lot tbh where collectors did not preorder based on the original sculpt but then HT drop this massively improved version! Feel bad they miss out potentially 🥺 Yeah cool that Ewan McGregor got the star thingy! Yep collection room starting to creak at the seams! I'm just testing out 5 figures-per-shelf to see if I can make it work! Cheers for watching mate, have a good week! 🙌🏻

[@DioBrando-jm7uf]

I think you should make him look upward slightly. I think that will be more natural for his eyelids.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yeah I think you're right. This was my first go at posing the figure and having a look over it, but will definitely revisit it. Thanks for the suggestion 🙌🏻

[@darrenclark4475]

Another great review, always wondered, do you buy your figures from a Hong Kong supplier or Sideshow direct? You always seem to get them quicker than my pre orders from the UK resellers. DX28 was about 3 months later. Super collection mate 👍🏻

[@TK421Collectibles]

Thanks Darren!! Supplier varies tbh mate! Sometimes direct from HK, sometimes from UK resellers - just depends on price really. Rarely Sideshow tbh unless I need to put something on a payment plan, (e.g. AT-RT plus UK stockists seemed a bit rare for that preorder). Cheers for watching 🙌🏻

[@WarrenLapworth-yu1hh]

“I’ve been waiting for you, Obi-Wan…” - the figure generally and your review! Going to be longer still for me cos the prices w/ shipping are comedy at the moment. Not fussed about the saber box so at least I can look at the standard DX26 too. No doubts about the series or getting the figure, but it’s not a DX is it? Jedi figure with average accessories (LOLA’s a bit crap tbh) plus a bouldery base don’t make a DX.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Haha cheers Warren! Yeah prices have gone crazy haven't they. Plus with shipping it's getting a bit mad. The saber box is a nice to have but yeah not essential by any means! And I agree about the DX. I don't even know how they decide what is a DX these days. I always go back to the OG Bespin Luke, now THAT was a DX! Amazing diorama weather vane, carbon freezing chamber styled base, TWO figures - a battle damage Luke figure and a clean Luke figure. Crazy set! Cheers for watching mate 🙌🏻

[@WarrenLapworth-yu1hh]

@@TK421Collectibles Sadly the days of two-fig DXs are long gone, but they should at least have alt headsculpts, lots of accessories and diorama base. My deluxe ROTJ Vader cost less than this Kenobi, and with three heads and the stairs is much more DX-worthy!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Agreed!! Three head sculpts, stands and stairs diorama and a fantastic light-up feature makes that Vader definitely more worthy of the DX badge. Plus some awesome DX box art would have made it even better!

[@WarrenLapworth-yu1hh]

@@TK421Collectibles The packaging/art of DX26 is the most DX thing about it, now that movable eyes are so common. But still, figure’s gonna look great with Vader, purge trooper and Reva.

[@TALON80s]

Dude, you've sold me on the hair Sausages I think. I'm looking forward to this one, I've always wanted an iwan McGregor kenobi figure. I was wondering, how's the articulation on the feet? The boots look like one part with no articulation. I really want to get new lightsaber blades from ebay that are frosty and the light goes all the way through but I can't justify the price. I wish hot toys would just frost them.

[@TK421Collectibles]

🤣 its a great term that isn't it, "hair sausages" 🤣🤣. You are correct the boots are one part but they do have a slight ankle pivot. I'm sure HT will get better and better with the sabers (well.. dependant on cost I guess) Cheers for watching mate! 🙌🏻

[@paulclancy4221]

I've no idea why a couple of my POs aren't arriving yet. Deadpool and this Kenobi. Companies do send email reminders,right?. I got an email for Deadpool when they tried to get payment. It failed so I fixed payment method and paid in full.

[@paulclancy4221]

It pays to read the small print Deadpool will ship Aug-Dec 2024 and no date on Kenobi. Probably about the same.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Shame no date for Kenobi yet! I want you to have it now cos it’s so great! 🙌🏻

[@paulclancy4221]

@@TK421Collectibles I only bought it only cuz I bought Kenobi Vader. I or originally ordered 40th Anniversary Vader....then the Kenobi version came out

[@TheRowlandstone73]

Incredible figure. Like you said, it's a bit of a masterpiece, that! 💯👌 I just wish I liked the Kenobi series! (Gotta be honest, I thought the show was 💩!) Plus, I've just never been a fan of Ewan McGregor in general. Definitely not fit to lace up Alec Guinness's boots! 😅😅 But yeah, as figures go, top to bottom, this is absolute quality. Great vid, mate. Loved the head-swappy bit!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Ah sorry to hear you weren't a fan of the show! Or Ewan! Must admit I thought he was great in the prequels! But maybe because, other than novels and video games, I'd been pretty starved of Star Wars content for like 20 years!! But yeah Ewan won't surpass the legend that is Sir Alec! Thanks for watching mate 🙌🏻
