A New Look at Obi-Wan Kenobi: The Jedi Legend in Star Wars The Vintage Collection

Hasbro’s new Star Wars The Vintage Collection Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Legend) figure has landed, and if you’re a fan of the bearded Jedi, this latest release is a worthy addition. Released as part of Hasbro’s line-up at recent events like NYCC 2024 and MCM Comic Con in London, this Obi-Wan figure is a tribute to his iconic “Jedi Legend” phase – complete with meticulously sculpted robes, an elaborate lightsaber accessory, and a head sculpt that captures his weathered wisdom from the later saga years.

Crafting a Jedi Legend in 3.75 Inches

As any collector knows, detail is everything, and in the Vintage Collection’s 3.75-inch scale, it’s no small feat to replicate Obi-Wan Kenobi’s battle-worn look. This figure stands out for its incredible sculpting on both the robes and the head. The subtle greying of the hair, the piercing eyes, and even the lines of experience on Obi-Wan’s face all capture his weathered appearance beautifully. It’s a sculpt that feels like a masterclass in how to get fine detail into a small-scale figure. Comparing this to recent figures like my review of Star Wars Black Series Prince Xizor shows just how far Hasbro has come in sculpting expressive character faces that echo their on-screen personas.

Articulation Fit for a Jedi Knight

This Vintage Collection figure comes with what Hasbro calls “super articulation.” As Obi-Wan is known for his mastery in lightsaber combat, the multiple points of articulation give him flexibility that a Jedi legend deserves. Kneeling poses, lightsaber-wielding stances, and defensive postures are easy to create, and this should stand up well when posed alongside the likes of Darth Vader or even the Halloween special Droid Factory R5-Z0MB. If you’re a collector who enjoys setting up small dioramas or action scenes, this version of Obi-Wan Kenobi is designed for both dynamic poses and display.

A Nod to the Obi-Wan Kenobi Live-Action Series

For fans of the Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+, this figure is a visual callback to the trials he endured in the miniseries. The show, which explores Obi-Wan’s life between Episodes III and IV, gives fans a deeper dive into his exile and his emotional journey. Seeing his character arc through the series really adds weight to figures like this – portraying him not just as a mentor but as a resilient Jedi navigating life after his confrontation with Anakin. This series, which brought out a more vulnerable and determined Obi-Wan, enhances how collectors might appreciate this latest figure. It feels like a celebration of his legendary resilience, even as he faces his former apprentice.

Displaying Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Collection

For Vintage Collection fans, Obi-Wan (Jedi Legend) feels like a quintessential addition. Whether you’re a fan of the early trilogy or new adaptations, it’s a bridge figure that connects multiple eras of Star Wars. With Obi-Wan’s updated sculpt and unique articulation, it’s a great match to display beside classic characters or the new generation of figures.

In sum, this Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Legend) is a well-executed tribute to the character’s journey. From its detailed sculpt to the posability, this figure combines classic nostalgia with the quality and durability we look for in the latest toy releases.
