Star Wars.com has the first images of Sideshow Collectibles upcoming Obi Wan Kenobi 1/6 Mythos figure, the first in their 1/6 Figure Mythos line!
It will include “Clone Wars armor atop Obi-Wan’s backpack to Anakin and Qui-Gon’s lightsabers dangling below”
Dan Brooks from StarWars.com held an email interview with Sideshow’s 1/6 Project Manager regarding the new 1/6 line, specifically Obi Wan. Here is his discussion about capturing Obi Wan’s look:
“This was actually my favorite part of this piece, and your question is spot-on. We had originally started by focusing on young Alec Guinness. We gathered reference from many of his older films, as well as images from A New Hope and tried to blend the two together. As we progressed though, it became clear that approaching the likeness this way wasn’t reading as Obi Wan. It was a great likeness of young Alec Guinness, but younger Obi Wan doesn’t look like young Alec Guinness, he looks like Ewan McGregor! From there, it was about finding that balance between aging down Alec Guinness’s features from A New Hope, and adding in some of Ewan McGregor’s features from the end of Revenge of the Sith. It was a challenge, but I really think our sculptors did a great job finding that sweet spot.”
The figure, which was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con, will be on display again at New York Comic-Con.
Pre-Orders go live September 21 between 12:00-3:00 Pacific.
The figure will cost $260.
