I should have posted my assumption, this is going to be a Walgreens Exclusive.
Walgreens Fall exclusive...around $20.
Hasbro...milk that mold!

Well they mixed both styles of Force Ghosts and it looks ****!
Wish it was like the OTC one... That was done right!

I would have preferred a fully transparent version. This just looks weird.
Well, I'm a fan of Obi-Wan and kind of a sucker. I'll buy one. I'll probably have to ask my friends from a different area to pick one up for me, because my local store never even got the Emperor's Wrath Vader or the C-3PO.

In my opinion holograms should be solid clear blue with shading, not force ghosts.
The TAC Anakin is pretty good too. A light layers of paint on a clear figure with that pearly shimmer.
Just disappointed with the route they went.

I love it instant buy for me. I would love for them to make a spirit Yoda, and Anakin while they are at it.

Just hope Anakin would get 2 heads...
The box looks cool, at least.

Reminds me of those Star Trek Transporter Series figures from Playmates Toys. (Feel better now, JJ Abrams!)

I'm sure if you strip the paint, you will have the fully transparent version.
Ok, if kept MIB this looks fantastic.
But as an opened, on the shelf figure it's a bit lame.
If, and I do mean IF (my local store is getting pretty bad with lack of exclusives) I see this in store, I'll decide upon the final release colors. I feel like this one still has some changes coming to it.

Looking for two if anyone can look out for me I'd really appreciate it
Is this supposed to be out at Walgreens today, or is it going to be released later on this Fall?
Looks amazing. Definitely looks like the most accurate attempt at a Force ghost yet. The idea that they should be "all clear" is laughable. Those cheap menthol mint Force ghost figures from the past were cheap, poorly done crap. You can barely see through them in the movie and arguably not at all through his head. The OTC one was better but not quite right either. The Force ghosts definitely have a blue tint to them which that one didn't have. The cape on this one especially is just genius in the way it replicates the bluish hue. I think making him more blue around the extremities is a way to try and replicate the blue halo effect around the character, which cannot be done for real in a toy. It's a clever idea and I think it creates a nice compromise that does create the impression of the correct, accurate appearance of the Force ghosts, Regardless, this is absolutely THE BEST attempt at making an accurate-looking Force ghost figure yet.

I only wish they could have included extra hands when he does his 'don't give to hate' gesture.
Then I guess I like cheap, poorly done crap. :awesome:

I wouldn't feel bad if you've ever wished for a holographic Ben Kenobi. OT Yoda or Anakin figure in your collection.
So are you saying he should be all transparent blue?
Hologram figures have always been releases in either transparent blue or purple. Spirit Obi-Wan has always appeared on screen more "full color" with a translucent shadow around him. I like this much better than the salt shaker spirit POTF2 or the spirit three pack we got from Hasbro in the early POTF2 days.

I'm wondering if the hands can be removed to simulate the arm pose when he appeared on Hoth.
Okay, I gotcha now.
Looks very cool to me...definitely down for at least 1
It's interesting how Hasro consisting uses "spirit" instead of "ghost" for the Force ghost figures.
Maybe "consistantly" as well?
*constantly lol

I suppose its befitting. Besides the negative connotation, ghosts are typically defined as spirits having difficulty crossing the realm between the living and non-living. I suppose 'ghost' isn't entirely out of the equation if they get around to doing a netherworld Palpatine.
According to a collector in Northern California, "Force Ghost" Obi-Wan has been found on the shelves at a Walgreens. I'll be going to a couple of my local Walgreens tonight to check the shelves myself. Anyone else see these out already in your part of the country?
