Star Wars Mythos – Obi-Wan Kenobi Figure by Sideshow

under Star Wars Toy News

Back in 2012, Sideshow Collectibles introduced collectors to their Star Wars Mythos Obi-Wan Kenobi Statue. The Mythos series featured new takes on existing characters, portraying them from unexplored periods in their lives. Now Sideshow is taking that approach, and bringing one of these designs to the 1/6 scale figure realm. Photos and details have been released for their Star Wars Mythos – Obi-Wan Kenobi Sixth Scale Figure. The figure shows Obi-Wan between Episodes III and IV, as he becomes the hermit of Tatooine known as Ben. Obi-Wan will include interchangeable hands, light sabers, a backpack, a removable cloak and more. Check out the details below and see the photos by reading on.

“Obi-Wan… Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time.”

Sideshow is thrilled to introduce a return to the world of Star Wars Mythos with the Obi-Wan Kenobi Sixth Scale Figure.

As a series, Sideshow’s Star Wars Mythos brings new and unique story details to popular characters from the well-loved Star Wars saga, emphasizing themes of honor, hope, and adventure to portray them in a new light.

The Obi-Wan Kenobi Sixth Scale Figure captures the period in the Jedi’s life as envisioned prior to A New Hope, following Revenge of the Sith. He features a detailed likeness as imagined by Sideshow artists to represent an aged Ben Kenobi who has witnessed the destruction of the Jedi order at the hands of the Empire.

Obi-Wan comes with a unique, tailored fabric costume featuring his Jedi tunic with tabards, pants, and sash, his Jedi belt, a sleeveless robe, and a nomad pack that he carries with him across the wastes of Tatooine. The figure comes with 3 sets of hands including force hands, fists, and grip hands, and an additional right trigger hand for a variety of action poses.

Each artifact and memento carried by Obi-Wan holds history and represents a step of his nomadic journey across Tatooine, waiting to introduce a new hope to the galaxy. The figure features Obi-Wan’s lightsaber with a removable hilt, as well as Qui-Gonn Jinn and Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber hilts.

The Obi-Wan Kenobi Sixth Scale Figure comes equipped with a modified Tusken rifle and 2 gaffi sticks, and technology necessary for survival such as a portable moisture vaporator, a grappling hook, a droid caller, and macrobinoculars. Obi-Wan also has goggles and Clone Wars armor as remnants of his noble past.

Prepare to embark on the Mythos journey with the Obi-Wan Kenobi Sixth Scale Figure, and add to your galaxy of Star Wars collectibles today.

Pre-Orders for the Obi-Wan Kenobi Sixth Scale Figure begin on Thursday, September 21st between 12pm-3pm PT, and the figure will be priced at $260.00.

    i REALLY like this. Still probably not something i'd purchase. But i think they did a fantastic job at capturing what Obi would like like during that period.

    i know there is a book out about that period...think i might go read that.

    Don't know if there's a book, but Disney did greenlight a movie to be made about Obi-wan during that period. It's going to be the one released after the Han Solo movie, or Episode 9, depending on whatever the release schedule is. (Assuming one shot movies like how Rogue One was released between 7 and 8.)

    Gotta admit this figure makes me even more excited for it.

    that sounds about right for a "Hot Toys' type figure.

    Actually, the average price for an average Hot Toys figure is still sitting around ~$230. Sideshow has really been jacking up the prices on their figures recently, to the point where they're even more expensive than Hot Toys on average, despite being generally considered to not be up to the same level of quality as Hot Toys.

    Do that! I've actually read it myself recently and I enjoyed it. There's a bit of a lack of Obi-Wan in it if you consider how the book is named after him and how his beardy McGregor-ness is printed on the cover but it's highly enjoyable nonetheless.

    It killed me back when the statue came out and I couldn't afford it... It's still quite expensive but now I'm definitely getting it. Does anyone know when it comes out?
