Obi-Wan Kenobi
Accessories
Obi-Wan Kenobi is packaged with lightsaber, Jedi robe, and build-a-droid piece.
Look and Feel
This is easily the best looking version of Obi-Wan Kenobi as seen in The Phantom Menace. The mix of soft goods and molded plastic. The only issue if you want to nit pick is the Jedi braid. It is the correct length, but it is way to thick at the end. I should taper off. Unlike most of the previous versions of this figure, he doesn't come with a hilt to clip on to his belt or come with a Jedi communicator.
Articulation
Kenobi has ball-hinged neck, shoulders, elbows, torso, knees, and ankles. The only swivel joints are in his hips and wrists.
Overall Reaction
If you are looking for a definitive version for an Episode 1 Obi-Wan Kenobi then this one is pretty close to the mark. It is far and away better than anything that came prior. If you mix this figure with the Evolutions Qui-Gon Jinn they match up very well! As long as gimmick pack-ins are not continued down the road I will be closing the book on this character for my collection.
