The Best Old Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi - May the Best Fig Win.

Post by gundam_skywalker » Fri Jul 31, 2009 6:41 pm

Was going through the figures and found two of the best sculpt and design Old Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi. I was thinking the winner must be Vintage Style Card (VOTC) as this line always produce the best sculpt and most articulated figues. But look again, the recent Legacy Obi-Wan could be the winner.


Firstly, the skirt for TLC have the extra strip of cloth which VOTC is only a plain skirt.

Although the VOTC had butt joint elbow, he can do the same action as the TLC with ball joint elbow. Not bad.

VOTC is loosing this round, as he does not have articulated knees which TLC have ball joint knees.
Image

VOTC had thick fury material for the robe whereas TLC had thinner cloth like material.

The result is VOTC had a oversize coat. TLC had the size just right but the material is still not soft enough, resulting the hood standing up. Have to do some adjustment to make it go down.

Seems that TLC Young Obi-Wan and Old Obi-Wan shares the same robe.

I think overall, TLC is still the winner and the face sculpt is closer to actor Alec Guinness compared to VOTC. What do you think? ;)
