First Look! Sideshow 12" Obi-Wan Kenobi (Episode II)

    The Sideshow Collectibles 12" 1/6 scale Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Knight) from Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones has arrived to much collector excitement. Although many may have unfortunately overlooked this figure (as assumed by the very low edition size), it is definitely worth its weight in praise. While there isn't much new presented here, Ewan McGregor's likeness has been perfectly captured and the costuming has reached new levels in authenticity.  Click through for a quick review and additional photos.

Sideshow was very clever to utilize the mold of the General Obi-Wan Kenobi portrait here for this figure.  And while you may think this is a simple head swap, it isn't.  Every details of the Episode II costume has been replicated flawlessly here.  The crepe fabric and felted cloak are on par and the paint details on the head, well, you couldn't ask for better. The boots are perfectly sculpted and this piece just doesn't dissapoint in any way.

Sideshow has taken some heat for the lack of accessories and price hike for the same old Art S. Buck body type used, but there are really no complaints here. With a limited edition of 1000 pieces for the exclusive and 1500 for the regular, there definitelt aren't many pieces to go around and this piece may be the first to go for a premium price on eBay.

Both editions are currently sold out at Sideshow Collectibles as of this posting.  It may be very wise to get on the Wait List now, so that you may possibly secure one of these awesome pieces.  Click thumbnails below for a set of detailed photographs.
