Preview: VOTC Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi

With added articulation and a soft goods cloak, the new Vintage Commemorative Obi-Wan Kenobi is anything but your typical  "old guy" action figure. While Hasbro pays homage to the original Kenner figure released 27 years ago, they definitely had the modern collector in mind when designing this newly sculpted rendition of  Luke's wise mentor.

Ben has 10 points of articulation, including ball jointed shoulders and articulated elbows to clasp his lightsaber in great poses. The vintage cardfront features the classic photo of Alec Guinness which adorned the original Kenner packaging, with detail right down to the white price box. Hasbro was unable to reproduce the vintage carback for legal reasons because they couldn't cross sell products no longer in production (wouldn't it be nice if they still were).

Look for Ben Kenobi later this summer as part of the ANH wave of VOTC action figures!
