Star Wars Black Series SDCC Obi-Wan Kenobi Gallery

under Random Photo Shoot, Star Wars Toy News

SDCC 2016 has come and gone, but today we are jumping into some galleries for items from the show. First up is the Star Wars Black Series Obi Wan Kenobi exclusive. The 6 inch figure features old Ben as we know him from Episode IV, cloth cloak and all. The SDCC set also comes with an exclusive accessory – the table seen in Luke’s hut on Tatooine where R2-D2 projected the famous Princess Leia call for help hologram message. The piece also lights up and plays the message! We’ve run Ben through the motions, check out over 70 images after the break!

Star Wars Black Series Obi-Wan Kenobi (Convention Exclusive)

Pros
Cloth cloak works here
SDCC hologram piece is well done
Hologram light is bright
Artwork & presentation built into box = awesome
Sculpt overall solid

Cons
Hood is better than Kylo, but still hard to look right
Cloak seems to want to push behind, can’t do a full frontal drape
Ben’s lightsaber blade super tight in hilt, snapped.

Overall
Great figure. Didn’t really get a chance to investigate before it’s release as I was prepping for SDCC. Once in hand, I was happily surprised. It’s a classic character in 6 inch form, what really gets me hyped for Black Series. It’s a throw back to the earlier waves of the line in style and feel. On the shelf, has an instantly recognizable stance. The SDCC hologram table is awesome – the light is bright, the sound is loud and pretty close to Leia’s voice. Bottom line, he’s a great pick up if you can grab him now or via mass-release when he drops later this year.

Testing things out, check a vid of these pics below:

    It lights up and plays sound?! Neat! I didn't understand the fuss until now.

    Your video is great, and if you have time and if such vids generate enough hits / views, then I guess they're justified, but my interest is the photos themselves, for which I thank you!

    Yeah, pics first here. This is basically just a slideshow for now. Had cool SW theme music on export, but they flagged it and had to swap in the generic stuff.

    My favorite Black Series photo shoot to-date. So many iconic shots from the movie.

    This shot is genuinely badass. It made me realize how underwhelming the Obi-Wan/Vader fight was in A New Hope. The prequels and Clone Wars depicted them as total badasses so it sucked to have them just hit each other's lightsabers.

    Overall, this was an awesome review! I enjoyed looking at the pictures for this one more than the usual review. You took a lot of great photos.

    Action choreography has progressed a lot since 1977 but yeah thankfully even by ESB in 1980 the final duel was more fleshed out and exhilarating compared to the gentle back and forth we see in the original. I think some of the fights in the prequels were too busy, like they didn't have to be swinging their sabers around nearly as much as they were.

    That wasn't the case actually.There had been some exciting choreographed duels before Star Wars ever came out. The reason the ANH Obi Wan/Vader duel is so sparse and conservative was because they were still figuring out the FX tech for the Lightsabers.

    Well yeah of course there had been well choreographed sword duels before Star Wars but it's also still true to say action choreography has progressed nonetheless. I just meant that in Star Wars the choreography became more refined with time and yes the effects team figuring out how to make lightsabers work is a very valid reason for why the original fight was so stiff.

    Looks like there's a bootleg SDCC version of Kylo Ren now? Many sellers from China/Hong Kong have popped up selling large quantities of Kylo. And one even stole images from ToyArk
    Ebay item 361710925592

    Not connected to us, just for the record.

    That Kylo from SDCC is getting printed for mass release in wave 1 of Rogue One. Possible they are selling early copies of that, or, selling the ones that didn't pass quality control, etc.
