5 June – Hasbro "Young Obi Wan" Action Figure
New arrival, an inekspensive eBay purchase, Hasbro 1/6 scale "Young Obi Wan Kenobi" action figure. The costume is very high quality. I am hoping the costume will fit some of my other figures, as that was the rationale behind this unplanned purchase. I mean, the fig was cheap, and that monk-like robe is too cool!
The figure itself is not a particularly good likeness of the character, and the articulation is stiff and unrealistic. The construction is solid and heavy, though, with good balance for standing unaided. It's definitely constructed to be a "playline" figure for kids to play with, rather than being a "collector" piece. The blade of the lazer sword light sabre detaches, so it can look like it is "turned off" and hang on the figure's belt.
RE: davidd's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020 - Elfy - 06-06-2020
That idea about the detachable blade is pretty cool.

The shadow the light sabre casts on young Padawan's gi makes me want to come up with a headcannon about Dark Light or something. Another headcanon is about what could you possibly use for certain prompts in the scavenger hunt
RE: davidd's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020 - werepuppy - 06-06-2020
Ah, you managed to find one of the ones with the soft goods robes - they do fit other figures of the scale scale. There's a great use of shadow here.

Yeah, I realized that a "light sabre" should not be casting a shadow, but I couldn't figure out an effective way to get the light sabre to seem to cast light rather than shadow.

Yeah, when I tried to find this figure online I noticed that there are a variety of versions, many of which have molded-on outfits.

I'm telling you, it's Dark Light. In the hands of a just hero, it can save the Universe, in the hands of corrupt villain, it will call forth doom. The equilibrium is fragile... [insert appropriately dramatic music]

Dark Light is a rather cool sci-fi type concept well worth further consideration.

PM me with a link, or so I can send you my email. I'd love to look at the first volume. I suspect several of our forum friends would be, as well.

6 June – "What a cool flashlight!" Carly checks out Star Wars dude's lazer sword light sabre
RE: davidd's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020 - Elfy - 06-07-2020
Carly would think it’s a flashlight.
RE: davidd's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020 - neon_jellyfish - 06-07-2020
This photo is absolutely brilliant! So pretty, and so hilarious! We love you, Carly!
RE: davidd's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020 - werepuppy - 06-07-2020
Ahhh, a fantastic picture. And yes, flashlight is one of the many uses of those swords...
RE: davidd's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020 - Loona - 06-08-2020
OK, so I only scrolled down to a point where only the hat's top was visible and Carly's face was not yet to be seen, and I was totally sure this is going to be a photo of a Yoda figure.

See? I will never be able to unsee this

The Force is strong with Carly, yesss!
