Obi-Wan Kenobi is pretty weak. His articulation is minimal with a limited ball-jointed neck, ball shoulders, angled cut joints at the elbows, cut wrists, waist, and hinged hips.

At least the cloth skirt allows you to seat him in your Landspeeder. “These are not the droids you’re looking for.” Heh.A sudden unexpected bit of candor in an incredibly detailed review of a new line of retro Star Wars toys.
