Obi-wan ROTS FX vs LE
« on: September 17, 2006, 10:48:48 PM »
As if you could not guess from the title, our first picture clearly implies we're in for another installment of FX vs LE. ;D


(As always click on the thumbs for full size pics.)

This time around, we have one of, if not my favorite, the Brand new ROTS Obi FX.

It is true that it suffers from the inevitable fat neck, but here you can see one of the best features, that brilliant blue blade.

Here we have a few more shots detailing the neck and emitter.

And finally the LE returned to where it belongs, with a few friends to keep it company.


I may still come back and do a more complete review, but I figured I'd enjoyed my Obi FX long enough and opted not to put off the photo comparison any more.  I can do more pics/details if anyone would like them, just let me know. ;)

Actually Master Knucle, I'd say the size difference on the Mace is more significant that the Obi FX.  I can take some pics of all four to support my opinion, but the Obi really is as close as MR can get thus far.

Yet another great comparison.  I just can't wait until MR finds a way to eliminate the fat neck yet to still kepp the sturdiness of the blade.

HAHA...I was at the saber vault earlier today and i saw the sale and i was sooo close to buying it.  But then i thought about that the only purpose is for display, and then i was out.

LEs really are great fun, but they do have that bad habit of multiplying, much to the detriment of bank accounts.  And that TSV price, coupled with the fact that it's from JD, makes if very hard not to snap up the Obi LE.

I'll grab a few shots of the four together right now so we can see how they stack up, JMK. ;)

Ya i want the Obi Wan LE sooo bad because obviously he is my favorite jedi, but i cant throw out the cash for that, i just bought a new car and college is expensive.

Someday one of the ObiWan LEs will be mine hopefully the ROTS
