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.
