Ben Kenobi (Tibidon Station) — Star Wars The Black Series #OWK 06

Overview

Ben Kenobi at #OWK 06 is the Mural Collection’s traveling-Obi-Wan figure — the version of the character at the Tibidon Station refueling stop in Episode 2 of the Disney+ series, en route from Tatooine to Daiyu in pursuit of the kidnapped Princess Leia. Released mid-November 2022 as a single-boxed Target exclusive. MSRP $24.99. The figure is a repaint of the earlier Wandering Jedi (#OWK 01) release with a different soft-goods cape and one critical new accessory: an openable backpack that the figure wears using actual shoulder straps rather than a peg-and-hole attachment. Four accessories total — lightsaber with detachable blue blade, blaster, soft-goods cape, backpack. The Mural Collection’s most engineering-clever figure.

The Backpack: Hasbro’s Best Accessory Decision in Phase 4

The backpack is the figure’s selling point and one of the best small engineering decisions Hasbro made in the entire Phase 4 line. Most Black Series figures with backpacks attach the pack via a peg-and-hole system: there is a hole sculpted into the figure’s back, and the backpack has a peg that plugs into the hole. The Tibidon Station Ben Kenobi backpack does not work this way. Instead, the backpack has functional shoulder straps, and you put it on the figure the way you would put a backpack on a person — by sliding the figure’s arms through the strap loops.

This is the correct way to design a figure backpack. It looks more natural in display because there is no visible peg. It moves with the figure rather than being locked rigidly in place. It can be removed and put back on without leaving a hole-shape sculpted into the back of the figure. And — the detail that makes this the standout accessory of Phase 4 — the backpack opens, with a working flap closure, and you can place small accessories inside it. The lightsaber hilt fits. Small props fit. The accessory is functional.

Hasbro should do this on every Black Series figure that ships with a backpack. They have not done this on every Black Series figure that ships with a backpack. The Tibidon Station release is the proof that the line can do this when it wants to.

The Cape: One of the Best Soft-Goods in Phase 4

The other notable accessory is the new soft-goods cape that replaces the Wandering Jedi figure’s Jedi robe. The cape is a different shape, a different drape, and a different fabric weight than the Wandering Jedi robe. Hasbro got the design right: the cape fits well onto the figure without feeling bulky, and it ranks as one of the best-engineered soft-goods capes in the entire Black Series 6-inch line. The fabric drapes correctly without requiring constant arrangement. The cape sits on the shoulders without bunching at the neck. It removes easily for collectors who want to display the figure without it. The hood is sized correctly to wear up or down.

The Wandering Jedi figure’s robe had a stitching issue that made hood-up display awkward. The Tibidon Station cape does not have this problem. If you want the best soft-goods Obi-Wan figure in the Mural Collection, this is it — and the figure’s other improvements (the blaster, the backpack, the openable storage) are layered on top of an already better fabric accessory.

The Repaint Question

This is a Wandering Jedi (#OWK 01) repaint with new accessories. The body sculpt is identical. The head sculpt is identical. The articulation is identical (17 joints, ball-jointed everything in the standard Phase 4 Obi-Wan tooling). The paint application is in a slightly different palette to differentiate the figure from the Wandering Jedi release, but the differences are subtle. What you are buying is the same Obi-Wan figure with a better cape, a better-engineered backpack, a blaster you already had, and a Target exclusive packaging.

For collectors who own the Wandering Jedi and want the better accessories: yes, the Tibidon Station release is worth it. The cape and backpack alone justify the buy-in for soft-goods-and-accessory collectors. For collectors who don’t own the Wandering Jedi: this is arguably the better Obi-Wan figure of the two, because the accessories are objectively better and the head sculpt is the same. For Mural Collection completists, the question doesn’t arise — both figures are required.

The Tibidon Station Scene

Tibidon Station is the refueling stop Obi-Wan visits in Episode 2 of the Disney+ series, en route from Tatooine to Daiyu. The scene shows Obi-Wan in his traveling configuration — different from the Wandering Jedi look, more practical for off-world travel, with the backpack carrying his lightsaber and supplies. The scene is brief but specific, and the figure captures the costume design from this exact moment in the show.

The character at Tibidon Station is Obi-Wan in transit — no longer the broken hermit of Episode 1, not yet the active Jedi of Episode 4 onwards. He is on the move, he is reluctant, and he is rebuilding his identity moment by moment as the rescue mission forces him to remember how to be the Jedi he used to be. The traveling configuration is the visual midpoint of the character’s arc, and the figure honours that midpoint.

Sculpt and Paint Notes

The head sculpt is the same Wandering Jedi sculpt, which is a good sculpt — Ewan McGregor’s likeness from the Disney+ series captured cleanly. The body sculpt is the same standard Phase 4 adult-male tooling. The paint application is in the slightly different palette, with the boots and lower garments reading as more dust-and-travel weathered than the Wandering Jedi paint. The belt is sculpted onto the body and not removable, which is the same limitation that affects every Phase 4 Obi-Wan and every most-figures-in-this-line.

The lightsaber hilt’s emitter section has the same sculpting issue that affects the Wandering Jedi figure: the golden upper section reads as slightly bulkier than the screen prop and bulkier than the equivalent 3.75-inch and other 6-inch Hasbro Obi-Wan lightsabers. Hasbro re-used the Wandering Jedi lightsaber tooling and inherited the lightsaber-hilt issue. This is a minor critique that most collectors will not notice, but lightsaber-accuracy collectors should be aware that the hilt is the same flawed mould.

The Blaster

The blaster from the Wandering Jedi figure is included again, fitting into the same sculpted holster on the figure’s belt. The accessory is unchanged. For collectors who own the Wandering Jedi, this is a duplicate. For collectors who only own the Tibidon Station release, the blaster is a useful inclusion that ties into the show’s specific narrative — Obi-Wan in his post-Episode-1 configuration carries the blaster as his backup weapon, and the figure can be displayed with the blaster drawn for the action sequences or holstered for the quiet-traveling moments.

Articulation and Build

17 joints. Identical to the Wandering Jedi figure. Ball-jointed top neck, ball-jointed lower neck, ball-jointed shoulders, ball-jointed elbows, ball-jointed wrists, ball-jointed upper body, ball-jointed hips, swivel thighs, ball-jointed knees, ball-jointed ankles. The figure stands well on display, holds the lightsaber and blaster in either hand, supports the cape-on or cape-off display configurations, and works with the backpack worn in the figure’s natural arms-through-straps pose.

The Mural Collection Position

Tibidon Station Ben Kenobi is the sixth and (depending on how you count the rest of the OWK collection) one of the closing figures of the Mural Collection’s Target-exclusive segment. Display alongside Wandering Jedi (#OWK 01) for the early-series Obi-Wan two-pose comparison. Display alongside Vader (#OWK 02) for the rematch setup. Display alongside Teeka (#OWK 05) for the Tatooine-and-traveling display. The Mural Collection’s narrative arc — Obi-Wan in hiding, then Obi-Wan in motion, then Obi-Wan in confrontation — is depicted across the figure positions in the collection, and Tibidon Station is the in-motion figure.

Secondary Market

Target exclusive, single-boxed, released mid-November 2022. Initial distribution was Target stores and Target.com, with limited shelf presence outside the launch window. Secondary market prices have generally tracked at or slightly above MSRP, with the openable backpack and improved cape supporting steady collector demand. Verify all four accessories are present (lightsaber with blade, blaster, soft-goods cape, backpack with strap closure). Verify the backpack’s flap closure still functions and the small-accessory storage area is undamaged. No production variants documented.

Our Verdict

Ben Kenobi at #OWK 06 is the Obi-Wan figure that the Mural Collection has been working toward — better cape than Wandering Jedi, better-engineered backpack than any Phase 4 figure, and the same head sculpt that worked for the earlier release applied to a more practically configured figure. If you can only own one Disney+ series Obi-Wan, this is the one to own. If you own both, this is the one to display.

Buy this figure if you are completing the Mural Collection, if you collect Obi-Wan across configurations, or if the Tibidon Station scene from Episode 2 mattered enough to you to want the specific costume captured. The backpack alone justifies the buy-in. The cape alone justifies the buy-in. Combined, the two new accessories make this the best-engineered Obi-Wan in the entire Black Series Phase 4 lineup.

The Obi-Wan in transit. The Obi-Wan with the working backpack. The Obi-Wan who proves Hasbro can make accessories that function the way they should. Buy him. Display him with the cape, with the backpack, with the lightsaber drawn and the blaster holstered. The Mural Collection’s best Obi-Wan figure is at the back half of the collection, and it earns the position.
