Sideshow Collectibles introduced collectors to the Star Wars Mythos Obi-Wan Kenobi statue back in 2012. The Mythos series featured new takes on existing characters, portraying them from unexplored periods in their lives. Sideshow is once again taking that approach, and bringing one of these designs to the Sixth Scale Figure line of collectibles. They have released official details and images of their upcoming figure. The design shows Obi-Wan between Star Wars Episodes III and IV, as he is in hiding from the Empire on Tatooine watching over young Luke Skywalker. Obi-Wan will include interchangeable hands, light sabers, a backpack, a removable cloak and more.
Look for pre-orders on Sideshow Collectibles this Thursday between 12pm and 3 pm PST.
