This is a surprise. JTA reader shagbert wrote in to let us know that the red and black boxed Episode I Obi-Wan Kenobi doesn’t come with the extra hand attachments. The tray doesn’t even have a place for this. Perhaps this was already announced by Hasbro, but it looks like to complete this figure, you’re going to need the 20th Anniversary version.

“You may already know this; I was a bit upset to discover it this evening when my BS Wave case arrived… The red box Obi-Wan doesn’t have the two extra hands that the 20th Anniversary version does, despite all of the sites having stock photos supplied by Hasbro of him using the pointing one. I had hoped that they were behind the cardboard, but nope; here’s the liner.”

Here’s another Episode I product! Do you remember the Walmart exclusive “Light-Up” figures that didn’t sell? Let’s finish them up with the Qui-Gon Jinn (Figure As Holograph) (Light-Up) release.

Our “official” 20th Anniversary of The Phantom Menace tribute concludes today. Aside from making the brand new releases a priority, we ran an uninterrupted look at the past toys Hasbro produced for the Episode I line for 31 days (May 3rd through June 2nd). We still have other Episode I stuff to get to and add to the archives, but beginning tomorrow we’re going to be mixing things up a bit. You’ll see a mix of products get added; both Episode I toys and other items from other collections that remain as holes in our collection. Here is where the fun begins!
