The journey of a legendary Jedi began in earnest when Obi-Wan Kenobi joined The Vintage Collection in late 2011 as part of Wave 10. Representing his appearance as a Padawan learner in The Phantom Menace, this figure captures the disciplined yet eager warrior during the Naboo crisis. It was a benchmark release for the line, providing a super-articulated version of the young Kenobi that could finally execute the iconic "Ready" stance and lightsaber flourishes seen in the final duel against Darth Maul.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Design & Silhouette: The sculpt features Obi-Wan in his traditional cream and tan Jedi tunics. The silhouette is lean and athletic, reflecting his youth and physical agility. The figure includes a sculpted Padawan braid and the distinct "short-cropped" hairstyle of the era, maintaining a high level of cinematic accuracy.
- Deco & Likeness: The 2011 release features a hand-painted portrait that captures the likeness of Ewan McGregor with impressive clarity for the time. The paint application on the robes utilizes a clean, layered look with subtle variations in off-whites and browns to distinguish the different fabric components of the Jedi uniform.
- Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, knees, and ankles. The wrist and waist joints are specifically engineered to allow for two-handed lightsaber grips and the deep lunges required to recreate the "Duel of the Fates."
- Display Utility: This is the essential "starting point" for any Jedi Master or Kenobi chronological display. He is best positioned alongside his master, Qui-Gon Jinn (VC75), or squaring off against Darth Maul (VC86).
Accessories & Equipment
Obi-Wan Kenobi comes fully prepared for his trials on Naboo. He includes his signature blue lightsaber, featuring a translucent blade and a detailed silver hilt based on the design that was lost in the Theed generator shaft. Additionally, he comes with a removable soft-goods Jedi robe with a deep hood and his Hush-98 comlink, allowing collectors to display him in various states of readiness, from Jedi diplomacy to active combat.
