Hey movie fans! Deadsurfkiss here bringing you something differant other than the usual movie review! Welcome to my toy reviews! (the first of many)

First up is Sideshow's 12" General Kenobi figure! I've been collecting amazing looking toys for a bit now, but I must say this one is fantastic looking the portrait sculp of Ewan Mc Gregor is bang on and the armour and clothing and weapons are very well done! If you like this kind of stuff, this is one of the best figures out there! Comes with a display base and is very carefully packaged in a cool looking folding window box. This is the first figure to showcase sideshow's new armour plastic that they're using for the starwars military line..so expect a whole army of differant classes of stormtroopers to come! Each sideshow figure has roughly 30 points of articulation(one of the best figure bodies on the market) and all have the trademark expert sculpting from the industry's finest artists! The overal look of the figures are made from the highest quality fabrics, metals, leathers and plastics to add to the realism of these pieces! I have all the figures in this line and they look brilliant displayed together.
This figures are getting more expensive becouse of the use of differant materials. So this puppy will run You about 90$ depending on where you go. eBay has them for considerably more so keep your eye out for them at your local comic/toy shop. Obi-Wan here comes with differant gestured hands so he can hold blasters, lightsabers and use the force. He also comes with an ignited lightsaber, and one that is not ignited so you can clip on his belt. And Obi-Wan, like all sideshow figures, comes with a display base for easier posing/standing of the figure. This figure is one of my favorites, you don't see him where this armour in the movies, so it can be considered an "expanded universe" figure much like the release of Ajjad Ventriss. So the verdict? I give this figure 10 out of 10 for being so well done and painted expertly! ((two thumbs way up!!))
