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.
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 😎🤙
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
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. 💙
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.
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.
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.
Loved the review, gives me a few ideas for posing mine. He should be arriving today. I'm in the cape and Helmet off camp. No way do you hide that headsculpt and while some jedi look good with a cape. Obi-Wan Kenobi doesn't, at least in my opinion.
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
Now we finally have the live action versions Of anakin Obi-Wan and ahsoka And I cannot wait to see the review of the live action version of ahsoka When she was In the age during the clone wars.
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
Definitely my most anticipated figure this year, cannot wait to get him in hand! Where’d you get the custom Anakin sculpt from mate? I agree it looks good!
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 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😅
Hi Justin, got this one, but warning to people light up lightsaber tip broke when I put in the hand, very delicate, managed to glue, but these things are very delicate, be careful! Love this figure, looks great, Mace on the way! Great review!
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
Oh Wow! Love that Version of Obi-Wan Kenobi Figure. A Conversation Piece, worth talking about. No Doubt, one of the Best ever made by Hot Toys! And I Absolutely agreed with the Obi-Wan Figure going very well, Side by Side with Anikin Skywalker Figure. What a Magnificent Pair meant to be. Great Excellent Job, Justin! Love your Vids. Keep it up! And May the Force be with you always, Friend! 🌌 🌌 🌌 🌌 🌌
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.
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.
Great review justin! I have this guy on pre order and I’m really excited. Would there be anyway in your review for mace windu that you could try to put the clone wars gauntlets on the revenge of the sith Obi wan? Wondering if there’s a way to get a good live action Obi wan in his second clone wars look in 1/6 scale!
Would of liked to of seen that phase 1 helmet on the phase one white troopers since that’s probably what I’ll do but still great video as always Justin
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.
What’s up with that new head sculpt clip mechanism? We saw that with Padmé too and I felt like I was gonna break it trying to put the head back on? Personally I don’t like it.
it's absurd that Hot Toys can't manage to install usb charged batteries inside of the figures, like the BUDGET BRAND ZD Toys does with its 20 dollar figures... The USB cable system is actually worst than the button cell batteries
It has energed HT's are pinching images from other places to use as box art! Very lazy, cheap tactic! They are banging these releases out and I do feel some liberties are being taken in quality and packaging!
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.
immediately no. this is my fav look for obi wan and this feels extremely off, not sure if it's the dirty armor with clean clothes, the weird sculpt, chunky fingers, or what, but it just feels way off, haven't felt that way with Hot Toys star wars in a long time, this used to happen at the very begginning only.
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.
Love that show!
@@JustinsCollection I wonder if anyone’s ever done custom phase one buckets for the other Jedi generals
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.
Agreed!
Excellent review. A true personal grail for me. This representation of my favorite character is a must-have. Obi-Wan is the GOAT!
He is!
This is where the fun begins! Been dying to see this review
Yes!

Oh awesome!
That walking pose! Incredible!
Thank you!
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.
Yeah fair enough!
Cape on for sure looks so freaking cool
Nice!
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.
Lol
"Hello There" and "It's over Anakin I have the high ground!"
Love it haha
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

So uncivilized lol
But that’s so uncivilized!
Oh helmet on too!
Literally have been waiting YEARSSSS for this video. Good job Justin👌🏾
I hope you enjoyed it!
The 1.0s of ROTS Anakin and Obi-Wan are definitely showing their age.
Agreed, proportions are a bit odd
Anyone els would love to see him have all his star wars figures together in one scene! That would be so sick!!
That would be insane, but awesome!
@@JustinsCollection it would be insane but it would LOOK so epic! 😁😁

That's just them trying to make it seem legit lol
Thanks for the detailed review! Haven’t received mine yet but hopefully soon!
No probs!
Great video justin! I always wait for your videos before pre-ordering a figure! I will definitely do it for this one
Thank you! Glad I can help!
Been waiting for this! Thanks so much Justin!
Hope you like it!
Excellent review and figure! Definetly my fav obi-wan kenobi they have made so far.
So good!
Amazing review! Glad this video is out, this release is really cool
Yeah he is!

Ahhh, General Kenobi! Great review, Justin. Happy to have this one in my collection.
Thank you!
Mine just showed up. It’s fantastic!! Cape on for sure

Awesome!
I'm still waiting to receive mine! I cant wait any longer. loved it! thanks for all your videos.
Thank you!
Looks great, good review as always! Just went to waitlist in the US missed out on preordering! Was waiting to see your review
Thank you!
Always interesting to hear your take! I still wished they used actual clone trooper armor for this figure instead of the cartoonified simplification.
Yeah fair enough!

Awesome! Glad I could help!
I’m all for the long side by side comparisons. I wanna see all the different options there are for paring up with a figure
They just mean me taking apart the whole display which is a little tricky haha
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
Not a bad idea!
@@JustinsCollection Does that mean you’ll do it? Or give it a go?
I was patiently waiting for your review on this one! 😆
Nice!
Now we finally have the live action versions Of anakin Obi-Wan and ahsoka And I cannot wait to see the review of the live action version of ahsoka When she was In the age during the clone wars.
Yes!
@@JustinsCollection yes indeed my friend
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
Yeah it’s not perfect, you just need to work with angles
Can you do a room tour video I would like to see how you keep your collection 😁 also grate video keep up the good work
I have done quite a few tours
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.
Yes you can, still doesn’t make it much better
Hello there! Can’t wait! 🤘🏼👊🏼
You’re going to love him!
💯 % agreed - Great review Justin!
Thank you!
Definitely my most anticipated figure this year, cannot wait to get him in hand! Where’d you get the custom Anakin sculpt from mate? I agree it looks good!
I made a video on it in the build a figure playlist, I had it commissioned
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.
I mean this look has never existed in live action so they made it up as they went I guess

Oh no! I hope you get it fixed!
Noooo Justin! I hope they don’t do the same thing with the phase one captain rex helmet. Knowing Hot Toys they probably will. 😢Great review as always!
They shouldn’t because that’s based off live action
You're the best, Justine!! 🎉🎉
Thank you! It is Justin though, no e
Have this guy ordered from Sideshow. Can't wait to get him in and add him to the Clone Wars display!
Dope!
IO've been wait =ing for this figure for a year. Can't wait the get him and complete the Clone Wars Trinity. Obi Wan, Anikin and Ahoska.
I’m really happy with how he turned out!
He is great! I definitely ordered this guy
Noice!
I hope that hot toys will ever release obi wan kenobi from ep1. I still have a spot for him next to maul and qui gon jinn
Yes! I hope so!
If you use Sideshow Cody with Phase 1 it might work better. They are a bit taller and thinner like CW.
Maybe!
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
Ah damn!
The comparison section is also my favorite part of your reviews! Feel free to go in depth!
Noice!

We are getting a Hot Toys General Grievous though. Stay tuned over the next little while!
That art work is the ultimate troll
How do you know?
@@CurtisCritique just trust me. You’ll see him soon
Thank you! I hope we do
@@JustinsCollection what are your thoughts on the new Grievous ? (:
Mr hello there 😂
Yeah haha
Decided to buy him after watching your review… then he got waitlisted as he was in my cart. 😂 oh man! Well wasn’t meant to be.
Damn!
Hello there!
General Kenobi!
Would of liked to of seen that phase 1 helmet on the phase one white troopers since that’s probably what I’ll do but still great video as always Justin
*Would have *have
@@paulmanning3919 I really don’t care haha
It’s not compatible with them, it’s got a bespoke clear neck clip to attach to the body. I showed the clip on his neck in the video
@@JustinsCollection okay I see now. that’s for the clarification can the other attachments be used to put on the other clones or no?
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.

Yep!
What’s up with that new head sculpt clip mechanism? We saw that with Padmé too and I felt like I was gonna break it trying to put the head back on? Personally I don’t like it.
It’s because of the moving eyes
I tried getting the Temeura Morrison head on my Rex but it just wouldn’t fit. I didn’t want to break the neck.
Oh no! Maybe heat it up first
Heights seems accurate. Ewan McGregor is 5’10, Ray Park is 5’9” and Tem Morrison is 5’8”.
Nice
Did they just take a clone body and stick cloth and an Obi-Wan head on? Cape on, because you should have it looking its coolest
Yeah kinda haha
I hate those plug in sabers and electronics in general... thank god my Luke still uses the little button batteries.
Fair!
is the clone helmet compatible with other clone troopers?
Nope, it connects on a clip mechanism
I’ll be honest I think the head sculpt looks more like Russel Crowe to me.
Oh interesting
Noooo keep the cape on him. It looks so good
Oh ok!
Awesome review
Glad you enjoyed it!
The black series didn't include the Phase 1 helmet, this is a reference to the original 2008 toy
Ah noted!
No way! Of course this drops the same week I get laid off
Damn!
Cool , but we still don't have the obi-wan of episode 1 .. Hot toys ...😭
Yeah IKR
I think that this figure is partially based on his Clone Wars skin from 2017's Battlefront 2
Could be!
Yeah that link you provided has it priced 50% more than on sideshow
Unfortunately you do pay more to get it significantly faster
Cody needs his 212th troopers. Where are they, Hot Toys?
Agreed!
whos here after they announced hot toys grevious already lmao
Nice haha
I am surprised you didnt compare the new Obi-Wan to your custom Obi-Wan.
Oh… I dismantled that one when this came out so I could use his parts to make an episode 2 obi wan custom
Oh nice might you do a review on that one?
Cape off, I never used it back then 😉
Noted!
NO CAPES!!!
it's absurd that Hot Toys can't manage to install usb charged batteries inside of the figures, like the BUDGET BRAND ZD Toys does with its 20 dollar figures... The USB cable system is actually worst than the button cell batteries

OMG 2nd commenter! Also love your content
Thank you!

I want to see the CW head on Ep3 body
Stay tuned…
Hello there😮

No cape for me personally
Fair!
cape on 100%
For sure!
*Edna Mode voice* NO CAPES
Haha love that
can you still get this?
I think so
@@JustinsCollection oh cool. I wonder if this one is "better" than the one where he's in mandolorian armor
yess
Indeed!

Dang Hot Toys really dont give a fu- about the phase 1 helmets' inaccuracies-
Legit
