If you come after me on social sensitive — or hell , readthis very website — you’re probably aware that I like miniature . Whether it ’s Lego , Funko Pops , fancy eminent - end dolls , or more traditional activity figure fare , you name it , I care it . Much to my notecase ’s chagrin .

Loosely inspire by Clone Wars — the excellentGenndy Tartakovsky short-change , not theequally splendid 3D animated seriesthat followed them — and the old Dark Horse Republic comics , the figure depicts Obi - Wan as a Jedi General at the tiptop of the state of war , wearing Clone Battle armor instead of his common robe like we saw in the picture show .

It ’s a neat look , and it ’s the first clock time there ’s been a Revenge of the Sith - style Obi - Wan head that utilizes Hasbro ’s “ photoreal ” printing technology , so it really does a pretty good job of look like McGregor — a man who can only say “ It ’s not happening as far as I make love , but I ’d be happy to do it”so many times — for a 6 - inch , $ 20 mass - market plaything .

God , recollect thefirst Black Series Obi - Wan ? certain did suck , but activity frame have occur a tenacious means ! unspoiled affair they have too , just in subject acertain massive megacorporationwere holding aconvention about forthcoming projectsnext hebdomad where something that would require , say , a whole selling billet of toy that look like Ewan McGregor as Obi - Wan Kenobi to put up it , could possibly get officially confirmed .
Sadly , it ’s been a tenacious time since any normal Clone Troopers for a Clone Commander Obi - Wan to really command were release in the Black Series line , specially the “ Phase 1 ” type this look was most associated with in the expand Universe . So instead , my Obi - Wan currently commands Scarlet Witch and Peggy Carter circa Captain America : The First Avenger .
Now would n’t that make for a live - action movie ( orstreaming serviceseries ) only made potential by amonolithic monopoly of entertainment property !
