Obi-Wan Kenobi

[Cosmicman]

My latest thing I'm working on is Obi-Wan Kenobi. I have a lot of work to do on his belt and touching up his lightsaber and hood to his cloak.
This is what I have going so far...





As you can see I'm still tweaking the hood and other parts.

I sculpted the head but I'm not happy how it came out. I tried to get as close as the old guy as possible.
The under cloak and the outer cloak are my design. Took me forever to get the outer cloak look right and then add that hood. I wanted that hood to stand out when he puts it up hence when Obi-Wan was scaring off the Tuskian Raiders after they had knocked out Luke and were trashing his stuff in Episode four: A New Hope.

I think I will still with characters from episodes 4, 5 and 6 for now. I have not had the urge to do anything new. In fact, I was trying to retire from the Star Wars 8 inch mego like customs when a friend or two asked for a certain character and then the money talks.

I am no Captain Mego but I can at least make the figures somewhat look good.


I really love super heroes but I'm on a small break.

Great work on the cloak, that always proves to be a pain in the rear..But you got it!!!good sculpt also...Funny how an old man in a cloak can be so hard to nail...

Nice customs! Question: Is the head from your Emperor custom from the Emperor Pez dispenser from a few years back? I always wondered if that was in Mego scale.

Yes it is. I always run into the Emperor Pez heads at junk stores.

Funny story, I had that Emperor and Darth Vader still in the package and I took them out to sculpt them. My friend comes over and while I'm upstairs he helps himself to some 20 year old Pez candy starts chomping away.
I came downstairs and said, "Dude! Don't eat that! It's 20 years old!"

He says, "Not bad and continues to chew and swallow it."

Thanks for the info, Wrath! I'll keep my eyes open for an Emperor Pez in my neck of the woods. Nice work, dude!

Looks great! Can't wait to see the final custom!

I had some 6 year old smarties that was included in a Daredevil pez dispenser. Since it was new, I figured "what the hell? The pez is new and the candy's wrapped up". It wasn't until the last one that I noticed brown splotches on it, which I finally figured out to be mold.....the bathroom smelled that night, to say the least. And the pain, the terrible pain!!
