CLONE COMMANDER OBI-WAN KENOBI IS OVERRATED! Star Wars Black Series Average Figures #2 

It’s not that bad guys, I just had to swap the Attack of the Clones head on it, swap the lightsaber, and put it on the 2023 Clone body and now it’s great!

Great new intro!! 🔥 Also, i ended up making my own using an extra 2020 phase 1 clone i scooped from Ross for like $5.99, and the Wandering Jedi Kenobi figure. Cheap and easy Kitbash that does a good enough job for me for this look. Great video, thanks for sharing! Much Love, and MTFBWY!

tartikovsky is my favorite piece of star wars content ever made so id love to see more from it in general. great video guys!

It's a new bloody Intro!! Good Grief..

" good looking from afar, but far from good looking "

Horrible articulation ✅ Inaccurate head ✅ Still one of my favorite figures in the line ✅

Would be cool to have one just to say you have one. But honestly at this point just buy a new clone body, a flexible resin (or soft goods) cape, and a fodder or resin Obi-Wan head and you’ve got a massively superior figure for a relatively cheap price

It’s a nice looking figure, but I’ve never had an interest in owning it for all the reasons you guys listed out and for its steep price. Honestly tempted to kitbash my own using the new 2023 P1 and one of the Obi show figures, it’ll end up looking better and be more posable as a Jedi should be

One of the first Black Series I got when I started collecting, along with newly released Tarkin, and a handful of Rogue One (Krennic, Jyn, Cassian). There were 3 of these guys still at my Walmart. I was able to look at each one and for the face with the least amount of blush. It took a little while after four the other 2 to go and leave behind peg warming 3PO (silver leg), and Kanan. And I fully agree. I'm glad I got him when I did, I would never have spent even current retail back then (I think $18 then?) It looks cool on the shelf but I have never gotten him posed how I want. And the lightsaber is so lose in his grip! I just recently have him one of the extra sabers from one of the extra Kenobi show Obi-Wan I had... and it fits much better

Hey first time commenting on your guys vids, what would you consider the Walmart captain Fordo?

Even switching the head is a hassle since the necks are different. Love the idea of the figure, the figure itself is still meh. Glad I didn’t have to pay today prices for it

Great video! I always enjoy your videos, but this one was on another level with Nate repping Behemoth 👍

I'm still glad I have this one, jumping around to different Walgreens back when it came out to finally find one.

Mine is in storage somewhere still in his sealed red/black box because i found him while we were moving, just never opened him. They could do a redo on this on the new buck- shouldn't he also have come with a Phase 1 helmet? Could also make it a pack in with a BARC speeder and a javelin

I think the reason ive never overpayed despite how much i want it, is the old body

I remember that the figure was discounted on a sale at walgreens when it came out, and people could get two to get the walgreens free shipping. After that, I never saw it online again.

It would be so easy for them to remake this figure and actually do it justice 😭

Would getting both clone wars anakin and obi-wan at $60 each be a good price at this point in the after market? i cant it cheaper and i really want them

Out of the Basement, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!

You can probably make a really kit bash custom now with the new body and some soft goods material

I got him about four years ago at a toy show in Hickory, NC for $40. I thought it was a good deal at the time when it was going for over $100. It’s been on the shelf ever since then. Lol. Great review.

I sold mine early 2023 lol. I stained his cape on accident so mine was a one of a kind haha. Headsculpt is a beauty forsure but we need the mullet !

Found him in a gamestop in Canada by coincidence and picked him up. I honestly prefer him to the RotS Obi-Wan and keep him displayed with my 212th troops. But yeah, just update it to the new clone body and give it AotC Obi's head and maybe his own helmet and call it a day

I passed on this due to the after-market price, and got the superior version. I didn't know what a blaster bolt I dodged until now!

I kinda dig the fact he’s had a haircut, but still wearing the armour. Like it’s from a story that hasn’t been told yet. I just love the look of it and at the end of the day, General poseability aside, that’s the most important thing

I'm furiously edging to this video. This is my jam.

God, I’m so glad i miraculously found mine for $30 on eBay one day, had an ink stain on the cape, so I guess they thought it wasn’t worth the full 9 bajillion dollars. It washed out though. Even so, I cannot get him to stand correctly. So many times has he dove off the shelf. And because I bought him second hand, he doesn’t even have the triangle stand. If the rerelease rumor becomes true, I’m buying a second one, and I’m gonna try and kitbash it with a 2023 clone.

Does the blue milk actually have a flavour, or is it still just milk?

Haha I absolutely love this figure! This one was around the same time I think the WM ex Luke Jedi Knight came out and those both had the rouge makeup which was odd. I have a huge soft spot for the Tartovsky CW cartoons so that helps alot with this fig. All critiques however are valid! Another excellent choice for an upgraded Archive version.

One thing i did to make mine look better is take a page from Hasbro and photo shop the peg holes on his joints......💀🤪. He looks cool in a basic pose, but this guy needs a new version with the Mullet and 2023 clone body, and he goes from borderline blunder to instant Banger. Love the intro, fellas. Until the next one, enjoy that Blue Milk

Great points all around. Wanted this figure so bad back in the day. Glad I got the 2021 CW version instead!

For the next black series banger might I recommend Count Dooku. He has one of the best likenesses in the line, appropriate soft goods for the cape, movie accurate paint job and good articulation. Highly underrated figure in my opinion.

It’s not that bad guys. I just had to pop the head off, put the attack of the clones head on, and then I had to switch it to the 2023 clone trooper body and now it’s perfect

I was only moaning about obi-shinobi figures last night! I must have 11 of the barstards already and still need 5 more releases, including this.

The only thing I have wanted to know is does that head look good on the Revenge of the Sith Obi wan black series figure? I've never seen anyone try it.

Oh, Nate… A wise master once said: “This weapon is your life.” First off, nice intro. ;-) I see the elbow joints on this and oh boy oh boy oh boy… A double-joint elbow with no bicep swivels is a big no-no. Regardless of how many collectors leave their figures in neutral or standard hero poses, a Jedi or Sith that can’t do action poses is not good enough. That’s how much the line has improved yet still makes mistakes outside of scaling. (Padawan Ahsoka and Tyranus being both the best of their respective sides of the Force) Now, if we were talking overrated by today’s standards? ANH Vader. For the many times they’ve released this buck with the 2014 legs, including the reuse for Kenobi, the International Archive and the A-List… considering Empire, Duel’s End and RotJ.

I love it. Combines two of my favourit. Jedi and clones. I got it from Forbidden planet here in London England

guys this figures not that bad i just had to buy a 3d printed kit and the new 2023 p1 clone trooper to fix it that's all

IT'S NOT A TOY!! I'M A GROWN MAN AND I DON'T COLLECT TOYS TO PUT ON SHELFS!! This figure is fine if you swap the head around, bath it in acetone, get a new cape and swap the body with a new 23 body. Swap the accessories and buy a new 3d printed custom belt piece and the figure is absolutely perfect. You two don't know what you're talking about.

The only thing I’ll give this figure other than the head is that it got me hardcore black series since I saw this at a Walgreens and bought it on impulse when I was looking for whatever marvel legends exclusive was out at the time

I didn’t pay over retail…,thrice,…for this clone commander. I never knew there was 2-D animation showing him with a mullet until you mentioned it a few years back from the time of this message and now. Nevertheless, I still like the aesthetics and for me, it doesn’t ruin it. - (Smiling): I just wish you would have warned me/us before you showed that cartoon still picture. - See, I didn’t play “mental gymnastics“

I love it even tho it is a blunder. I found it when I first started getting into the line heavy. I watched a review and wondered if my walgreens had him. Found 4 that day and bought 2.

As usual great take and we'll done . Keep up the great work 🎉

It is a nice looking figure and i dont really mind the wrong head. It is very expensive nowadays tho and as a customizer its not that hard to get a good obi wan head and just customize a nice new clone body. Getting the cape identical to the original figure would be hard but it doesnt have to be identical

I remember wanting this a lot, and I kinda considered it the quintessential Obi-Wan... then the Clone Wars one released, and _it_ became the quintessential Obi-wan. It feels like this was a figure put together from memory... close to quitting time. Like, in isolation, it's a decent figure, but the head and articulation just isn't fitting for the source material.

Got this on eBay in a bundle with CW mace and Fordo for $65, and yeah it’s definitely not a great figure, but I’m happy to have it in the collection. Also not to be super nit picky but I don’t think the saber you showed in the video was the one that came with this figure, I don’t remember the hilt looking like that, or being quite that bendy. But my figure is packed up now so I can’t check, so I might be wrong.

The head sculpt is the best part of it, from someone who has been collecting sw figures for 25 years that’s why it is sauté after so much period

Another kinda like this (except nobody is claiming this as a grail) is Moloch. What is good about him is really good, but what is bad is really bad.

CC Obi used to be a grail of mine for the shortest time, that is until I got my hands on the 2008 3D Clone Wars Obi.

Since I own the 2D Clone Wars Walmart figures, I do want this figure; but I rather have one on the 2024 clone body. Love the new intro to the series, another great video.

I think what makes some figures overrated is not a problem with the figure but a lack of supporting characters to use in a diorama or to just enjoy playing with. Some many characters have been ignored in the modern lines you cant make a good representation of most scenes in the the shows.

This is unfortunate. I really like the Tartakovsky CW show. Maybe I can kitbash this figure with the new clone and an old Kenobi head and cloak. It won’t be the same, but it would probably be cheaper. Plus this was one of my grails unfortunately. Emphasis on was.

Overrated? Yes. Is it still nice to have on the shelf? Also yes.

This came out before I was into the line. I remember seeing the box and getting excited by the name be the 03 series is what got me into the franchise, immediately lost interest when I noticed there was no mullet lol

This is one of those figures that I always wanted but could never find, even though I've never seen that version of the Clone Wars I still really like the look of it. It's such a shame that they used that outdated body for the figure and that they continue to use it to this day.

That head sculpt is fire! It would be great for a different Kenobi body!

I absolutely agree here, he is not at all worth the after market prices. I only wanted this figure back in the day because it was the first Obi Wan to get an updated face. I never picked this one up but luckily Hasbro released more and better Obi Wans then this

BUT I HAVE ( 2. ) OF THEM....and I could have had 3 but I didn't wanna overdo it..

I mean as inbox collector like most of the issues don't really apply to me but the price for incorrect piece fook that.

To bad we did not get him in the clone wars Tartakovsky’s card back with totally updated parts

You guys aren't nuts. I really like your honest take on these figures. Much appreciated.

When I started collecting in 2020, this was definitely one of my grails, but I 100% agree with you - this figure is trash (by current standards). Once I got the Disney clone wars version of Obi-Wan (which I had to buy on eBay because it was non-existent at my local targets) that became my favorite version of Obi-Wan and I no longer wanted this one. Now I can't imagine buying this with those HORRIBLE PINNED DOUBLE ELBOWS that can't even hit 45 degrees. I would like to see an updated version of this figure though.

That old clone buck is so terrible & has to be one of worst figs or the worst in the line considering how many figs came out using that body, defo need an updated fig for that obi wan & some clones too using the 2023 body, time to bin that old body lol great vid as always

The lightsaber is also the wrong hilt, he should have his TPM/AotC one, not the RotS one.

kinda happy somebody has finally admitted the obi-wan isn't too great. IMO, i feel everybody got hyped (including myself) about this figure due to the obi-wan head and the capabilities of using this head on perfecting an Ep 3 Obi-wan and somewhere the message of the greatness of the head got confused with the figure as a whole and now the community just loves a relatively bad figure.

I like to watch you guys together because it’s obvious you guys are BFF’s, Boyz, ridaz 4 life! 😂

Need this on the new body with the AotC head

Thanks for the heads up. This was a grail... now not so much.

I’ve been trying to get this one for a good price for a while, but now that we have a way better clone body I kinda stopped trying to get this one! Great video

"Bangers, Blunders, Midders...Overrated figures" Thats Bars right there 😂

I've been wanting this figure because I really enjoyed the 2d Clone Wars. BUT, it's not a grail for me by any means. Great video, fellas!

Digging the intro, great job guys

You guys just don't understand why this is such a banger of a figure. You just gotta remember that these literal actual children's toys are actually 💥i n v e s t m e n t s💥 and provided hasbro never rereleases or releases an actual good version of this figure, then I'll be able to sell all 500 of these I bought and buy myself a beach house. (Just because there are actually people who genuinely act like this, this is a joke btw)

Had I not lucked up on an eBay auction for $42 I would not own this. I agree out of all the figures I own this body is the worst for articulation but…..collecting 🤷🏼‍♂️

I didn't realise it was on the old clone body I haven't bought this bought been on my wanted list think I will just still with my other clone wars obi wan thanks guys

I was just thinking how nice woud it be to own this and then you guys drop this .😂

I always love Nate's band shirts. Love Behemoth!

I think it’s a great fig for its time .. But I do remember you guys saying how great it was when you first picked him up lol ..

I'm guessing Hasbro had a bunch of 2013s left over and just swapped out the heads to get rid of them.

I think the reason i like the look of- and never was able to get.. him. Is a good looking figure is because of the older 3.75 one.. which was dogshit AWFUL LOL I sold that off years ago because it just didn't match any of my other figures (clones)

Outdated articulation Inaccurate but great head Still my favorite character and an okay version of the figure, I was lucky enough to find it in Walgreens after school in 2019.

Great video fellas! People ain’t gonna like this one… but alas, it’s the truth! The old Clone body is terrible and those inaccurate details can’t be looked past. I feel like people are more in love with the idea of this figure rather than the figure itself. It’s really cool to see an Ewan McGregor likeness on a 2003 Clone Wars style Obi Wan, but that doesn’t make the figure good! While I do like this outfit more the 08 TCW Obi Wan is for sure an infinitely better figure!

I missed out on this figure when it was released and now I'm glad I did!

18000 congratulations. You guys are great to watch.

I mean they had to use the shorter hair cut so his clone helmet that he doesn’t come with could fit.

Not hating on you guys, actually agree with your opinion regarding articulation and accuracy but yet it remains one of my favorite figs in the black series. Always enjoy your content even when you’re shitting on one of my favorite figs 😂

That sweet, sweet ragebait algo!

Blue milk intro was so awesome!!! 👏

Hello Nate and Justin, to answer your question, yes you are both nuts. LoL 😂 I honestly have no opinion on this figure because I've never managed to get either of these versions of Obi-Wan from Clone Wars. They are both too expensive at this time so I don't have to own them. I'd rather have the Target exclusive version if I could find him at a decent price. Thanks for sharing your opinions on this version of Obi-Wan Kenobi and putting this video together for us, I appreciate it. I'll catch you guys later. Take care, Tom PS: I'm sorry but that blue milk looks disgusting. 🤢

You had your Record player on the wrong speed for the INTRO.......

Nice new intro guys‼️👌 Also can we please please stop reusing the 2013 body? Just get rid of it! Nothing older then 2020 on🙏

loving the new intro 🥛

More like Black Metal with that Behemoth shirt lol

Overrated is so subjective. A figure can be wonderfully made and come at a decent price but it has no connection to the one rating it. Nevertheless all they hear about that figure is how great it is. It can then be overrated to the one who has no connection. The term is an overrated way of ranking. Rotten Tomatoes has made their own term up as they even know the term overrated is a problematic term. This Obi Wan with a good head sculpt and interesting soft goods is just not as fun as it could have been using the older body. Just as you said. I think the term overrated triggers people.

Yes, this figure is grossly overrated. It’s only the clone trooper body, which is its biggest sin, in my opinion. Of course it was a Walgreens exclusive, and it’s availability issues really but the main reason it so sought after I think.

That is you guys opinion, not everyone feels and think like you do ..

This is a Hasbro issue. They're not in the business of manufacturing high quality collectibles that so many adults buy. They are in the business of cost cutting, mass produced, cheaply made, low quality children's toys. You get what pay for, in that regard. It's why I no longer collect domestic brand figures, because they're made with materials ment for children to play with. And the manufacturing process is designed to save money, not produce a quality product.

Men, I always thought the exact same thing!!!!!

But those clone wars Anakin and obi wan where impossible to find for most people including me

I still want him even I been looking for him
