The legendary Jedi Master and General of the Grand Army of the Republic made a definitive appearance in The Vintage Collection in 2010 as part of Wave 2. Representing Obi-Wan Kenobi as he appeared during the tragic final days of the Clone Wars in Revenge of the Sith, this figure was a significant milestone for Prequel Trilogy collectors. It successfully transitioned the character from the more static designs of the early 2000s into a super-articulated, realistically scaled version that captured Ewan McGregor’s transition from a confident commander to a weary survivor.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Design & Jedi Silhouette: The sculpt features Obi-Wan in his traditional layered Jedi tunics, rendered with a realistic fabric texture that suggests movement and wear. The figure captures a leaner, more agile profile that reflects his combat style during the Battle of Utapau and the duel on Mustafar.
- Deco & Likeness: The 2010 release is defined by its hand-painted likeness. While produced before the era of Photo-Real tech, the paint application captures the calm, focused expression of the Master, complete with his neatly trimmed beard and signature copper-toned hair. The tunics feature subtle tonal differences between the inner and outer layers, providing a sense of depth and realism.
- Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The specialized "rocker" ankles and ball-jointed hips are essential for this figure, allowing Obi-Wan to achieve his iconic two-fingered "Soresu" lightsaber stance or a deep defensive crouch.
- Display Utility: This is the mandatory "hero" for any Jedi Starfighter or Utapau Chase diorama. He is best positioned squaring off against General Grievous (VC17) or leading Commander Cody (VC19) into battle.
Accessories & Equipment
Obi-Wan Kenobi comes prepared to negotiate—with his lightsaber. He includes his signature blue-bladed lightsaber, featuring a detailed hilt sculpt that reflects the construction of his third and final weapon. A standout feature of the 2010 release is the separate lightsaber hilt, which features a small peg allowing it to be secured to his utility belt when not in use. Additionally, the figure includes a highly detailed communicator and a soft-goods Jedi robe, which features a tailored hood and internal wiring for dramatic, wind-swept posing during his confrontation with the fallen Anakin Skywalker.
