The new intro is great, almost as great as that figure. He instantly took centre stage on my Clone Wars shelf, despite some slight paint issues. I commend you for your objective analysis and scoring. I would have struggled to give him less than a 4.5, but I'm far from rational when I see that armour.

I absolutely love this new Obi-Wan Kenobi figure. I currently rank it as my all time favorite Kenobi, and it’s in the running for my 2021 6” figure of the year. It’s that good. And I love your new set! The shelves behind you look amazing. I dig the risers as they help show off the figures in the middle/back way better. I started using them myself. I look forward to a new room review. I bet you get a lot of requests for that. Thanks for another great figure review. You’re one of the best reviewers on KZbin when it comes to 6” Black Series figures, and I’ve always appreciated your entertaining content.

I like the new intro. The only one from this wave I've seen is the pilot, which I grabbed. I'd like to find Echo as well. I already had the 6" Cara Dune but was lucky to already have the 3.75" on preorder to go with my Haslab Razorcrest before the actress was fired because it suddenly sold out QUICK! I was wondering if the figure would be canceled but fortunately not. It's waiting in a box for the ship to arrive.

Hasbro has truly come a long way with their Star Wars 6 inch figures. They weren't perfect but still had good qualities. But I think at this point, they reached their highest point with this Obi-Wan. I guess you can say Obi-Wan's figure has the high ground even as an action figure.

I love these figures. I had been putting off watching reviews because I didn't know if I would be able to find these in my part of Canada. I had managed to pre-order Hawk and Anakin before they sold out, and I did manage to find Obi Wan and Echo in the wild at my local Toys r Us. Such great figures, but for the price point, I think extra hands should have been provided. Thanks for the review Mike. The content is always appreciated. In my mind Satine and Obi Wan did have a love child, and that person was one of Rey's parents.

I’m glad Hasbro has mostly abandoned the double jointed elbows and knees. Sure you can get the double joints in more poses, but I don’t care when those joints completely destroy any sense of a human form. Articulation is overrated if it makes the figure look like it belongs in the Bionicles line. I also prefer the ability to pose these figures in natural standing poses instead of wild action poses. So preservation of the human form trumps articulation every time for me.
@MikeKaess3 жыл бұрын

About accessories, I know I’m in the minority when I say I don’t want my figures with too much random accessories that I have to store elsewhere. That said, it is always good to give customers options, and I certainly is cool with Hasbro including more if it makes other collectors happy (as I said, I realize I’m the minority here). There are some figures that accessories are done brilliantly though, like the extra face and goggle and scarf for the rebel hoth solider, because it enables troop building. And the fact that it can be stored in the backpack is absolutely awesome. Or a removable phase one clone trooper helmet for the previous obiwan clone Commander release. But I won’t fault a figure for being simple with what it comes with if the alternative is for it to come with a jetpack that doesn’t add much to the figure itself. My two cents. Please don’t crucify me.😂
@MikeKaess3 жыл бұрын
Lol not gonna crucify you, you stated your opinion and made a decent case for it. I will always want more accessories, because I feel like it greatly increases the value of a figure. But I totally get where you’re coming from and even sort of agree!
