The Jedi Knight and master investigator returned to The Vintage Collection in 2022. This reissue of Obi-Wan Kenobi captures his look from Attack of the Clones, specifically during his solo mission to the rainy world of Kamino and his tracking of Jango Fett. While the 2011 original was a cornerstone of the line, this 2022 refresh brought the figure into the modern era with significant aesthetic upgrades, ensuring the future General looks as sharp as his Jedi intuition.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Design & Investigator Silhouette: The sculpt features Obi-Wan in his signature Jedi tunics, which are rendered with a more athletic, leaner profile reflecting his younger years. The layered fabric folds of the tabards and the detailed utility belt are captured with high precision.
- Photo-Real Deco: The defining upgrade of this reissue is the application of Photo-real technology. This provides a striking, lifelike likeness of Ewan McGregor, significantly improving upon the hand-painted 2011 version. The hair and beard feature more nuanced shading, capturing the "mullet" hairstyle that defined his appearance in Episode II.
- 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 the deep, balanced combat stances required for his duel on the Kamino Landing Platform.
- Display Utility: This is the mandatory "investigator" for any Kamino or Geonosis Arena diorama. He is best positioned directly across from Jango Fett (VC34) or standing before the Jedi Council.
Accessories & Equipment
Obi-Wan Kenobi comes prepared to uncover a galactic conspiracy. He includes his signature blue-bladed lightsaber (lit), featuring a chrome-painted hilt that accurately reflects his second lightsaber design. A standout feature of the 2022 release is the removable soft-goods cloak; the dark brown fabric is lightweight and drapes naturally, allowing the figure to be displayed in a ceremonial "Jedi Temple" pose or a dynamic "Combat" stance. He also includes a separate lightsaber hilt that can be pegged into his utility belt for non-combat displays.
