Unboxing & Review: Hot Toys Obi-Wan Kenobi - Darth Vader (DX28) 

Love to hear you can sit back and relax with our videos! It's what we want 😄 We hope you get him soon, may the shipping gods be ever in your favor 🤞🏾

Watching it the rain now as I also open mine

Haha, add that to the canon, @starwars! 😄

Hahaha, that’s what we like to hear! Enjoy man! 😄🙏🏼🍿

Thank you, Annovio! We try our best to make our reviews feel familiar but adding our own spin on it as well. We're just happy to hear you all like it. 😄 I've owned one version of Darth Vader for the longest time, but this is the one. This release of Darth Vader is the PERFECT representation, even with the few flaws mentioned. When and if you do get around to opening him up, I'd recommend a drink, great lighting (if possible) and some good tunes in the background. It's a phenomenal experience to say the least. Thanks again for watching! 🙌🏼🍻

oh, and realistically, I can only afford one Vader too 😅

To be fair, there are a lot of people who do see it as just another Vader, even if a lot of us catch the smaller details. I'm not mad at those folks, but I do appreciate attention to adjust parts of the costume the way they do. It's really cool! I also prefer this version over the ESB Vader, the optical lenses are far too wide. I currently have the clean look in my display as well! It's difficult to choose like this. Would've loved two bodies for both looks, but I get the expense might be crazy. The presence is incredible! If I can happen across an extra body, I'll gladly pose the battle damaged version. Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion, Fred! We'll see about mentioning those finer details in future reviews. We figured people might not interested, so feedback helps. Appreciate you!

Thank you for watching! I did make a couple videos a while ago for our channel members, but we might release one of them at the end of the year around November. 😄

@@BostonCollectors looking forward to it !

We try our best. Thank you, and thanks for watching! Hopefully yours come in soon if you picked him up.

Thank you, FigurCraft! We appreciate the support! 🙏🏻

Thanks, Etienne! Appreciate you for supporting as always! 😄🙌🏼

Thank you, thank you! It's all about making the viewing experience better across the board, so this is great to hear. Thanks for watching, JJ! 🍻🙌🏼

Thank you, Ultra! We try our best, and we’re glad to hear you all enjoy the content. 😄🙏🏼 Thank you for watching!

Dang sorry you missed out! He really is awesome to have in the collection. I did manage to secure one though, yes! We’ll have a review for him soon. We appreciate you for watching! 🙏🏼🔥

Thank you and thanks for watching 💜

I have to agree! He's HUGE in the display as well. Almost wish I picked up 2, but I think I would've preferred a second body instead to display both options. The articulation is far better than previous versions in a few ways I find, but I get that it can be a bit rough. The legs are hindered a bit due to the cod piece I've noticed. If you're worried about damaging the suit, I'd suggest TriNova: a.co/d/duk0K0n . I don't need it in the climate that I'm in, but I have it just in case and used it a few times in the past. It'll help condition the pleather and keep it from peeling. Appreciate you for taking the time out to watch our review, Devon! 🙌🏼🍻

Thank you! This is one to take time out for with a good drink. It's an amazing unboxing experience to say the least, so I hope you enjoy it. Appreciate you for watching and thanks again! 🙌🏼

We were hoping it would. It's really cool to see the differences, even though for some it's not a consideration. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏾

Thank you, Jonathan! It does take quite a while, but we feel its worth it in the end. Glad to hear you liked it! Even 9/10s are rare for this channel, I don't recall ever giving a figure a 10/10 to be fair. There are a few figures that I haven't reviewed on the channel that would get perfect scores though. The first one that come to mind is the Into The Spiderverse Miles Morales. An INSANE release that cover a wide variety of appearances. Thanks again for watching, more content is on the way! 😄🙌🏼

Thank you! 😄 We have a feeling that'll be a great one too. Can't wait to see it in hand.

Thank you! It's a beautiful one and you can't go wrong really with either appearance. Enjoy! 😄

We're glad to hear! Thank you for the sub and thanks for watching! 😄🍻

Appreciate you man! Like I said, I'd see you in a month, haha! (Unless that was Padmé. It was still a month regardless). I need a plug for those earlier shipments one of these days. I wish I had the Rogue One version, but you have to make due with what you have, right? Thanks for taking the time out to watch, my dude! 🙏🍻

@@BostonCollectors haha yeah I remember the “see you in a month” comment! 🤣 Your videos are worth the wait tho regardless 🔥🔥🔥👊🏻

Thank you, Daniel! The light-up feature on this one is better by a long shot. I'll need to find a slimmer cord though if I plan to keep him plugged in the display. A bit difficult to navigate at the moment. Yeah, the battle damaged sections could've been cleaned up a bit better, but that portrait continues to draw my eye from which I can appreciate. I also agree with that notion. They would have to change the entire way they do the LED hilt. My best guess is making a bulb-like blade to plug into the LED hilt, but that would be a whole different expense in itself. I doubt they would go that far.

Thank you, thank you! The lens I used for this video was mainly the Canon 24-70mm F2.8, but for the portrait segment and a few other shots I used the Canon Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro. 😄🙏🏻🔥

To be fair though, it's not on Hot Toys. In the show the lights didn't cycle, they just all stayed still, lit up. You can watch the scene where he stops the ship, and you can see that the light's don't cycle, like they do in the movies.

I personally prefer it this way.

He absolutely is! Thanks so much. We really wanted to showcase the work that went into this one, especially those details 🤩 These one sixth figs definitely have a hold on us 🤣

Thanks man! And no worries, any and all comments are welcome even if you drop another one later. 😄 I wouldn’t trust it for an extended period of time. Personally, I’d turn it on for a few hours a day for better LED longevity. Considering the possible expense to replace them later, I think it’s best for a few hours a day depending. The control box may or may not overheat, but I typically keep it on for photos/videos and turn them off. Hope this helps!

The belt can come undone on the front buckle. Although, you make have to glue it back together depending on how it’s pieced.

Hey, thank you! I don’t take it as a rude question. I say “we”, “they/them” and “us” to describe me and my wife as a team. I identify as a guy and she identify as a woman. It’s just easier to say we’re a united front since we both engage with you all at any given time across social media. Thanks again for watching! 🙏🏼🍻

@@BostonCollectors Alright thanks for the answer! And also, your reviews are awesome, you do them in a very sophisticated way, and it seems like there aren't really any problems! and I can't forget those awesome poses! So great job!!!

Hey! Which edition is it? Is it brand new? If it’s the same edition I have (Deluxe Version (Exclusive)) that’s a really solid deal. I spent more with shipping and tax on top of the $335 price tag.

@@BostonCollectors Hello friend. It's the Deluxe Version

@@chriswilliams3110 $330 shipped is pretty solid. Especially if you’d like to have this one! 🙌🏼

Yes, this is faux leather used throughout the entire suit design.

@@BostonCollectors hey man im very new to hottoys. Im from malaysia which is humid which will make pleather flakes easily. So is this synthetic leather any better in terms of not getting flakes?
