Got mine today and I love it. Surpasses the HT version by a long shot side by side. Thanks again Jnix!

 

[Jeronimo]

if there ever is going to be a second run I'll be definitly interested. Definitly an improvement over the HT one.

Comparison shot.

Looks great!

 

[Darth Fok]

The HT one doesn't look all that bad IMO.

I'll be honest in saying that there are parts of the hot toys which still have the better likeness, the wider mouth, the way the upper eyelids have more weight...

Neither are bad, neither are perfect... I'd give the edge to the Jnix one slightly. I am enjoying mine.

The jnix paint job does not have dark enough eyebrows or light enough tips of tr goatee area. I may amend

No you just need the regular neck plug not the inner neck plug like that

Or you can just use the one that came with your obi wan figure

Thank you for your help. How should I remove the neck plug from my Hot Toys sculpt? I don't want to damage it.

A good trick is just to hit it with a hair dryer for like 20 seconds, it makes the plastic a bit softer and light force will help it pop out.

I recommend attaching it to then new head with a light amount of glue from a hot glue gun (the hole is a different size) that way if you ever want to give it back to the original obi wan and sell it, heating it again with a hairdryer will have it pop out and the glue can be peeled off easily.

Was there a reason why this sculpt included the neck piece? previous they didn't and it worked out well for me.

What do you mean? Han and Luke have open chest and made for neckless sculpts... and this sculpted neck is the way the hot toys figure was configured for Obi Wan. It's consistent. I don't see the issue?

Thank you Raymond F. The hot glue idea is brilliant! I happen to have a hot glue gun handy too.
