Hot Toys Obi-Wan Kenobi The Clone Wars Unboxing & Review

[@gallifreyarchives4434]

Cape on! The 2D Star Wars cartoon was absolutely amazing. I would even argue for helmet on, as it makes sense for Jedi generals to use the built in HUD to better communicate with their troops.

[@JustinsCollection]

Love that show!

[@gallifreyarchives4434]

@@JustinsCollection I wonder if anyone’s ever done custom phase one buckets for the other Jedi generals

[@WarChiefAJD]

I don’t know why people don’t like this headsculpt. I think it looks fantastic! Can’t wait to get him in hand. Also he’s gonna have that cape on.

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed!

[@FiguresandFandom]

Excellent review. A true personal grail for me. This representation of my favorite character is a must-have. Obi-Wan is the GOAT!

[@JustinsCollection]

He is!

[@Obscurewatchcollector]

This is where the fun begins! Been dying to see this review

[@JustinsCollection]

Yes!

[@Captain_Fordo77]

This has to be my most anticipated figure release of all time. I waited just shy of 4 years since it was originally shown in July of 2020 at sideshow con. I’m so incredibly happy I can now own this figure. To me, despite the few flaws it has, I’m still exceptionally happy with how it turned out. General Kenobi will soon be leading my Clone Wars display. And I have to say cape on brother 😎🤙

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh awesome!

[@michaeldelcastillo7211]

There's a debate as to which is the definitive Obi-wan, but the fact that he has clone armor on here is really appealing to me.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah fair enough!

[@Fr0stbit3_]

My main gripe with this figure is HT using the animated clone armor instead of the realistic clone armor. It bugs me that HT sometimes will translate their figures to realism but will pick and choose what to translate and what not to. If I pick this guy up, I'll be sure to buy extra clone armor and replace it with the animated versions provided on this figure.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah fair

[@MartyMicdart2012]

Now we finally got our obi wan kenobi Star Wars battle front 2 figure and I’m happy to get my new skin😂. A child’s dream come true.

[@JustinsCollection]

Lol

[@MattMaggard]

That walking pose! Incredible!

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you!

[@D-Pooly]

I'd have him cape on and helmet on, this is the coolest Obi Wan if you ask me, and I love the idea of posing him with clone troopers all around in a "final stand" sort of thing The trigger finger hand is perfect for it, I'd have him with a blaster and lightsaber at the same time, such a cool figure, I'll have to get it

[@ivanagustinortiz5237]

So uncivilized lol

[@mutantstrawberry2478]

But that’s so uncivilized!

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh helmet on too!

[@Design909.]

Literally have been waiting YEARSSSS for this video. Good job Justin👌🏾

[@JustinsCollection]

I hope you enjoyed it!

[@NostalgiaBrit]

Personally, I’m absolutely _loving_ the cape *ON* look! It may not be 100% accurate, and may raise questions about how, in real life, it would actually attach to the armour, but I would still display mine (if I had one) cape on & in the classic *_Obi-Wan Kenobi_* ready-stance, with [non-usb] Lightsaber held up above his head, and his left hand pointing two fingers. 💙

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah the cape is sick!

[@OliverHarding-ze6hg]

Cape on for sure looks so freaking cool

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@JaydenRiley-sm2mb]

"Hello There" and "It's over Anakin I have the high ground!"

[@JustinsCollection]

Love it haha

[@Joseph-oo7pp]

According to Sideshow’s website, the trigger finger hand is actually a “macrobinocular holding hand” although it definitely would function as a trigger hand lol.

[@JustinsCollection]

That's just them trying to make it seem legit lol

[@aarong6696]

Anyone els would love to see him have all his star wars figures together in one scene! That would be so sick!!

There's got to be a way to attach the USB battery to the croch grabber. That way you don't weigh down the belt or damage it.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yes you can, still doesn’t make it much better

[@connoreagle6843]

Just won the chance to pick this guy in a raffle, and ended up going with him! I’m glad I did, as clone armor obi wan is definitely my favorite look for the character.

[@rlebz]

Mine just showed up. It’s fantastic!! Cape on for sure

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice!

[@RobertGalloway]

If you use Sideshow Cody with Phase 1 it might work better. They are a bit taller and thinner like CW.

[@JustinsCollection]

Maybe!

[@ryanforesta1803]

So, they have realistic style clone armor for the shins and knee armor. But animated style forearm, elbow and bicep armor. Obviously consistency isnt a Hot Toys priority.

[@JustinsCollection]

I mean this look has never existed in live action so they made it up as they went I guess

[@ryanforesta1803]

@@JustinsCollection thats true, I just wish they made the clone armor look like the "realistic" armor from the movies instead of the 3D animated versions. They did it with his legs just not the arms. Sorry im a bit of a costume/armor snob😅

[@Bamboozlenoodle]

Always interesting to hear your take! I still wished they used actual clone trooper armor for this figure instead of the cartoonified simplification.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah fair enough!

[@sebastiank.7667]

About the USB-C cable issue: I know it's annoying that HT is putting none in the box. But I'd like to take another view on it: which one? an C to C or an C to A cable? Sure, at least the should give us one of those, but I'm pretty sure: no matter what they would decide for shitstorm would be big anyway 😂 personally I would like to have a C to C cable.

[@JustinsCollection]

C to C

[@J4RUBY]

Could you do a series called the “Test of Time”, where you look at figures that have degraded over time, especially pleather. You show footage of when you got it, or photos, compared to now. That would be interesting

[@JustinsCollection]

Not a bad idea!

[@J4RUBY]

The sculpt doesnt really sit right with me, ik the upper lip is supposed to be a bit hidden but the shadow makes it seem like his mouth is open? That angle you displayed him at 11:30 looked freakin great though, so hes definitely an angles sorta guy

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah it’s not perfect, you just need to work with angles

[@axelpetersson2486]

Is there a way to have this helmet for a clone? How does the connector work??

[@JustinsCollection]

I don't think so unfortunately

[@0BI-WAN.KENOBI]

Excellent review and figure! Definetly my fav obi-wan kenobi they have made so far.

[@JustinsCollection]

So good!

[@poky3933]

my biggest problem with this figure is it has a stormtrooper undersuit, with the armor i can just swap it with clone armor but that undersuit is so hard to fix

[@JustinsCollection]

Ah damn!

[@pspsps7066]

For some reason Hot Toys decided to use an animated style armor instead of the live action armor that the clones they've already released have so Obi-Wan don't fit the style of the clones. It's a mistake on their part because Sideshow (statue) and Hasbro (figure) put a live action clone armor on Obi-Wan.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yep!

[@Jedijim3002]

Heights seems accurate. Ewan McGregor is 5’10, Ray Park is 5’9” and Tem Morrison is 5’8”.

[@JustinsCollection]

Nice

[@ShawnMo-ki6zw]

Have this guy ordered from Sideshow. Can't wait to get him in and add him to the Clone Wars display!

[@JustinsCollection]

Dope!

[@the_quake]

The fact that Hot Toys refuses to go back and slightly update figures with new tech or tooling. It’s like they’re just banking on selling another variant when the time is right. I despise when companies pump out product just to pump it out, even when the figure is fairly good such as General Kenobi. I do agree with you on the robes being far too clean especially compared to his armor.

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed, very annoying! At least he got moving eyes!

[@superchickin86]

The comparison section is also my favorite part of your reviews! Feel free to go in depth!

I just contacted hot toys in Hong Kong. And I talked to them about getting rid of the USB Ports On the back of the hot toys Collectibles for example Darth Vader DX28 who has The USB On his belt that you can Take on and off but to light up the light saber you have to plug in a portable charger or the wall if you have many collectables and the wires get tangled and it's a pain my Idea was that if Hot toys can get rid of the wires and make a rechargeable lightsaber to fit in Darth Vader and Other Star wars Characters hands so if the lightsaber dies you can charge it with a USB port but have no wires and put it back in your Characters hand.just like a big light saber works that you can battle with your friends when it dies you plug it in a charge it and when it's done unplug it and keep battling.
