It's time for a major character! Next up for Defining Definitive Figures is Obi-Wan Kenobi from Revenge of the Sith.

Obi-Wan from Revenge of the Sith has had a lot of versions made with more to come. So do we have a definitive version already? Let's face it, he's a major character in the movies and the Clone Wars so he will continue to hang on the pegs for some time to come. Perhaps we can give Hasbro some insight into what we would like...maybe no new versions and only released in a greatest hits type line? Maybe we need a definitive version from the pics above? What's your opinion?

In my opinion the TAC version is the Definitive version. Has a bit of soft goods in the skirt, fantastic articulation including ball-jointed hips, and a great sculpt. I think the only thing that is missing from that figure is a Jedi robe, but that isn't reason to make another figure. I will just use one from another of the 700 Obi-Wans I have.

DEFINITIVE

Paint apps upgrades would only enhance this figure and a soft goods cloak added in- but other than that the figure it's self is definitive.

Man.......this is one of those figures that will never be "defined" until your holding a perfect silacrum in your hand. But if you look at it from the perspective of a toy then it is defined as far as I'm concerned. Th3e TAC version was excellent. The Ball jointed hips on the next version had a funky head and neck that took away too much.

I go back and forth betwwen Obi-Wan and Han being my favorite characters in the series and the ROTS likeness is probably my favorite incantation of the character so I'm rather picky of the figures.........but I'm going to have to say DEFINED.


If I was going to ask for more it would be ball jointed hips with a cloth cloak and the head and neck joint of the TAC version............but I'm really nit-picking at this point.

We have a ball jointed hip one......and I think he came with a cloth cloak.....doesn't matter that is what is coming later this year. To me this figure has been defined ten times over
