One of the most iconic LEGO Star Wars characters is Ben Kenobi, also known as Obi-Wan Kenobi. He is known for his window and considered by Anakin Skywalker as one of the greatest mentors. His contributions have led to the downfall of General Grievous and Darth Maul. He actually became an apprentice of Qui Gon Jinn. Make sure you complete your LEGO Star Wars mini figures with this important character. Just like Anakin Skywalker, Ben Kenobi has the most variants in LEGO mini figures.

It has 4 Padawan variants, 2 Jedi Knight variants, one clone wars variant, 6 Jedi Master variants and 6 Ben Kenobi versions. In 1999, LEGO released two versions of this character. One of them is a gray-haired Obi-Wan with a simple Jedi light brown clothing. The Jedi Master variant has brown hair, brown legs, and light brown arms and torso. This variant has a brown cape as well. One of the most sought-after variants is the fourth Padawan variation. It features a serious-face Obi-Wan holding a blue lightsaber. It has the same light brown torso and arms and tan legs but with a hooded cape. LEGO announced the release of another set that will feature this mini figure. A new variant will be released in 2012 in the 9494 Anakin’s Jedi Interceptor. This set is based from the Revenge of the Sith. It will include other mini figures such as Anakin Skywalker, Nute Gunray, Security Battle Droid, R2-D2 and Mustafar Droid.

A lot of avid collectors are already waiting for the release of this set. You might want to get stared with your own LEGO Star Wars mini figures collection. Start collecting the different variants of the main characters. The earlier version such as the 1999 versions might be a little difficult to find. You might find them sold at an exorbitant price. It will be worth buying those collector’s items since its price will probably increase in the next few years. The pieces are also well-made, something you can expect from LEGO mini figures. Obi-Wan Kenobi particularly has lots of accessories and weapons so kids will surely have lots of fun playing with the different variants.
