Obi-Wan Kenobi Mythos Premium Format Figure

“Yes. I was once a Jedi Knight…”

Sideshow’s Mythos line of statues and figures allow the collector to imagine what could have been, but maybe never was. Myths meant to be initiated by the eye and completed by the mind.

Inspired by previous iterations of Sideshow’s popular Mythos Obi-Wan Kenobi high-end collectibles, the Obi-Wan Kenobi Mythos Premium Format Figure imagines an aged version of Ben Kenobi™ prior to his appearance in Star Wars: A New Hope™. This detailed mixed media piece comes with two different portraits, allowing collectors to customize their display.

Measuring 21 inches tall, the Obi-Wan Kenobi Mythos Premium Format Figure is dressed in a Jedi tunic with a sleeveless, weathered brown robe made from fabric with a wired hem to allow for dramatic posing options. This hand-painted high-end collectible shows the noble Jedi poised atop a dune with his Lightsaber™ extended, prepared for any threats that might cross his path.

Obi-Wan’s fabric nomad pack carries remnants of his Clone Wars™ armor alongside a plethora of familiar objects including a modified Tusken rifle, gaffi sticks, a portable vaporator, a training remote, and Lightsaber hilts. Prepared for survival on the unforgiving sands of Tatooine, he is also equipped with goggles, macrobinoculars, and a droid caller. Plus, a swappable alternate portrait allows fans to pose the figure with a wizened version of the Jedi, inspired by his appearance near the time of Star Wars: A New Hope.

Sideshow’s Mythos Premium Format Collection

“It takes strength to resist the Dark Side. Only the weak embrace it.”

During the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi was among the most accomplished leaders in the Republic’s army. Now, with the General Obi-Wan Kenobi™ Mythos Statue in your collection, you can make sure peace has a fighting chance.

“You must know I will never join the Dark Side willingly.”

Fate keeps these two close at hand — for better or for worse. The Anakin Skywalker™ Mythos Statue depicts the powerful young Jedi as he appears during the end of the Clone Wars. With his blue Lightsaber ready for action and a fierce battle stance, it’s easy to see why Obi-Wan Kenobi trusted Anakin as his closest friend and ally.
