Not only the sculpt but the hair also. Absolutely fantastic!!!!
Yeah the hair and beard just so much better!!
The new portrait looks amazing, but I do prefer the original hair color and age to him in the older design. It would’ve made him look a bit more accurate to the show, in my personal opinion.
Regardless, I’m just glad they finally released him! 🍻
Ah ok, tbh I thought this new design looks way more accurate to the show. Especially from some angles like when he is on the speeder bus thing after work! But it's quite subjective. I think the CW and Mando armour versions looked similar to the proto for this one so you could try a head swap maybe? Cheers for watching mate! 🙌🏻
@@TK421Collectibles oh yeah, absolutely! In this hobby I think we could all learn from that line alone and still coexist. It’s for certain subjective. 👏🏼
This is one of those figures we all need to have to in hand to say. I could be wrong in terms of the aging since editing software is lightyears ahead right now.
Again, bring him on! I’m excited to have him in the display! 😄🙏🏼🍻
At last we are getting Ewan and not Chuck Norris😀. A 360 difference in the sculpt n im also liking the hair. Great work hot toys. Cheers mate
Haha Chuck Norris! That is about right isn't it for that first attempt! But yeah fair play to Hot Toys making these massive improvements!! Really looking forward to this one. Cheers Kumar!
A lot more like Ewan McGregor, well done hot toys for taking heed of the community, credit where it’s due , easier to part with the cash for a job well done😀 thanks for the update, have a great week and mind how you go 👍
Cheers Andrew! Yes It's great that they're paying attention to the feedback. Think most collectors are happy to wait a bit longer for a better product! Thanks for watching mate, take care 🙌🏻
Now I'm glad I didn't cancel my order. He looks so much better now.
Ooh yeah that would have been a shame if you'd cancelled! I'm glad you didn't! 🙌🏻
can’t even imagine the backlash if they didn’t rework this. Good job on the update
Collectors would definitely have voted with their wallets I think!
Glad I had this one on order! Updates look great!
Yes looks like it's definitely worth the wait! Cheers for watching mate!
I always thought the original looked like Russel Crowe😂
🤣🤣🤣 Now that you mention it...! 👍🏻
Finally. We all suspected this delay was due to a rework. Now we know for sure. Hopefully this means it will be released shortly. I'll be anxious to see your review.
Yes! Blogger pics are out which will mean it's released today or tomorrow morning 👍🏻 And thanks I will try and get a review up asap! 🙌🏻
Overall it looks like a great improvement. Thanks for the update, Chris.
Cheers Daniel! I think it’s vastly improved although lighting may be factor in the shots etc. Can’t wait to get the figure in anyway! 🙌🏻
at first I thought the hair was changed to wool too 😅 it's just sooo good, great vid mate 👍🏼
I thought similar at first!! Would have been a good one to Artisan-ise maybe but the sculpted hair is still looking great. Cheers for watching 🙌🏻
As I’m more of a George Lucas purist I wasn’t a fan of the show. I know he didn’t want Vader and Kenobi to fight again until A New Hope. However this headsculpt is great. A big improvement. Looking forward to seeing an episode 2 or 1
I do agree, I don't think they should have met like they did in this show. I think they just about got away with it but I really think their next encounter after Mustafar should have been ANH. But I did enjoy the show overall so looking forward to this one. And I totally agree we need an TPM and/or AOTC Kenobi!
Its a big improvement bro, even more excited for this now!
Same here!! The improved lighting in the photos helps but they've definitely improved it a lot! 🙌🏻
I really can't wait for this, especially since I was expecting him in December. None of my Hot Toys TH-camr crew had him in hand, and I was simultaneously relieved as well as not feeling that I'm missing out on something yet. I've got a space reserved for Obi-Wan Kenobi in my Moducases!
Will be well worth the wait. Glad you have a space reserved for Kenobi!! 🙌🏻
Pre ordered this day 1 with TOF, hoping back then that HT would do some work on the sculpt, so glad they did it looks superb, can’t wait to pair him with my Vader!!
I always assumed there would be tweaks to the sculpt but they've gone all out and it looks amazing! And yes gonna look awesome with Vader!! 🙌🏻
Looks amazing! Cant wait to get him .
It's an amazing improvement isn't it! 😃
@@TK421Collectibles stunning
I didn’t preorder this originally because I felt this figure looked more like Chris Pine than Ewan MacGregor but I decided I still need it to go with my Vader. I am definitely happy to see the updated head sculpt and I think it is worth the delay to get a more accurate figure. Thanks for the info.
Agreed 100%!! I don't mind delays especially when the figure is going to be completely enhanced by this updated sculpt! Cheers for watching! 🙌🏻
With Hot Toys, it's always worth to wait a bit more, that's why I always wait for the next version of a figure and never buy one. Saves me lots of money 😜
Yes that tactic will definitely save you A LOT of money!! I think I need to do the same tbh 😅🙌🏻
Much prefer the new sculpt, think it suits this version of the character much better than the original with a more stoic expression.
Totally agree mate!! Defintely more suited to the character!
Yep can not wait ... my only problem is I think I'm going to have sell some on ... got no room argggggg 😢
I know what you mean mate!! Just be careful you don't regret moving figures on... like I always do!! 😬
Good that they listen to criticism (to a certain degree). Looks way better than the prototype.
Yeah, looks like it's paid off this time! Definitely looks way better doesn't it! 🙌🏻
Great sculpt.
Way better than the prototype isn't it!
Yes and am glad I PO and when I got the delay notice I was glad cuz the head sculpt looked off so now it looks pretty awesome so yeah am glad I waited. Good things come for those who wait.
Yes, I don't mind delays normally, *especially* when Hot Toys are improving and perfecting what is getting released! 🙌🏻
The figures just been released in HK....finally 😊
Yes!!! Hopefully have him in the collection next week! 😃
A long wait, but so worth it!!
Yes! They've levelled him up and I'm glad they took the extra time!
Wow I have him preordered. I now can’t wait to get him.
Same here!! Can't arrive soon enough now!
Awesome! Alas due to space I gotta skip out on this version. But since you get them fast I have a request. Can you by chance see how the head sculpt looks on the clone wars version? I wanna see about tracking down the head sculpt separately to use as my stand in for the cartoon version where he had longer hair!
Thank you!
I know what you mean re: space! I'm fast approaching the limit I think too! 😬 Yeah I will try and remember to swap the sculpts round to see how it looks, great idea!! 🙌🏻
@@TK421Collectibles thank you!
I PO'D this months ago. I didnt realise the original headsculpt was so bad.
When you see them side by side there's just no comparison. Soooo much of an improvement! Think you're right the proto begins to look 'bad'!!
@@TK421Collectibles The only issue I have with the new hair, is the sticky out bits. This means they are in motion, so a dynamic fight pose will me needed rather than a museum pose. TBH I only bought this coz I bought battle damaged Vader from the show, so dynamic pose required.
I see what you're saying. I guess you could also have him in museum pose with the implication being it's the wind in his hair? But I guess then you'd have to make sure his clothing looks a bit windswept as well. We will have to see when he lands! 🙂
Does look an improvement👍👍 flashing Mr Vader looked jolly nice.
Definitely improved!! Haha well spotted! I've now got everything lit up on that figure just to celebrate! Don't care if it's not movie accurate 😅
Looks great! Can't wait for this one!
Fantastic isn't it! And same here, can't wait! 😃
The head sculpt is definitely an improvement but why on earth did they change the hair??? Before it looked real, now it looks like a bunch of worms on his head, real hair doesn't clump like Sausages 😭😭 what's frustrating as someone who pre-ordered this and was looking forward to it, is I think the sausage hair bothers me more than the old head sculpt 😭 it makes it look more like a toy in my eyes. By the way, Love the new lighting dude!
I really like the new 'sausage hair' (excellent description btw) 😅 I think the sculpt from the CW Kenobi and Mando Armour Kenobi looks more like the old head sculpt, so may play around swapping them out see what it looks like 👍🏻 Cheers for the comments on the lighting mate! Wasn't sure how it would turn out or whether it'd be too gloomy or what so thanks for the feedback 👊🏻
@@TK421Collectibles That would be cool, definitely try that. The hair kind of reminds me of that play dough head you squeeze the hair through 🤣. It is a bit dark, I would recommend having that lighting for news and for regular videos the same but additional lighting in the back to brighten up the overall look, could be gloomy for reviews. That's just my opinion though, either way I like it and it's really cool when you try new things, your channel is always improving! 😁
Cheers man! Yeah was going to keep reviews as they were really. I still go off how I want to see a figure review and thats in quite bright light like it's in the cabinet! Thanks again for the feedback 👊🏻
@@TK421Collectibles Yeah that sounds really good, I think the darker look works well for the news stuff.
Looks like a lighting change for the pics, and that's all. Still a pass for me. Thanks for always having the best videos mate.
You could be right! Could just be a minor tweak but major changes to angles and lighting etc. I'm just glad he's finally released! And thanks for the kind words mate, appreciated 🙌🏻
#fix-black-suit-Toby!
They should! They can do it! 🙌🏻
for 200 fine more Han that no trash. are we going for realism. looks cartoony. not good enough for hundreds dollar more no way.
Think the lighting plays a big part tbh. Looking forward to seeing it in person anyway! Cheers for checking out the vid and thanks for commenting 🙌🏻
I hate the new hair strands looks like spaghetti. 🤮
Haha I've now heard it looks like sausages and looks like spaghetti. I like the idea of the sticky out bits but yeah we'll have to see how it looks in-hand. Hopefully not too spaghetti or sausage-like! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
