One of the most visually distinct versions of the character, Obi-Wan Kenobi (The Clone Wars) made his debut in The Vintage Collection in 2012 as part of the celebrated Wave 16. This figure represents the Jedi General as he appeared in the early seasons of the The Clone Wars animated series, specifically wearing the protective Clone Trooper forearm and shoulder armor over his traditional Jedi tunics. For many collectors, this 2012 release was the first time this "hybrid" armor look was translated into a realistic, cinematic style for the 3.75-inch line.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Design & Hybrid Aesthetic: The sculpt masterfully blends the flowing fabric textures of his Jedi robes with the rigid, industrial lines of Republic armor. It captures the "General Kenobi" silhouette perfectly, serving as a tactical evolution of his Attack of the Clones appearance.
- Deco & Likeness: The 2012 release features a hand-painted portrait that leans into a slightly more "animated-realistic" hybrid look. The paint application on the armor plates is a clean, stark white, contrasting with the muted tan and brown of his inner tunics.
- Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, knees, and ankles. The hip joints and waist swivel are engineered to allow Obi-Wan to adopt his signature defensive lightsaber opening stance (Soresu).
- Display Utility: This is the essential Obi-Wan for any early-war Grand Army of the Republic diorama. He is best displayed leading Phase I Clone Troopers or standing alongside Anakin Skywalker (VC92).
Accessories & Equipment
Obi-Wan Kenobi comes equipped with his signature blue lightsaber. The accessory features a translucent blue blade and a silver-painted hilt that accurately reflects the prop's design. The figure is sculpted with "Saber-grip" hands, allowing for a firm hold in both single-handed and two-handed combat poses, essential for recreating his many duels with General Grievous or Ventress.
