    Hot Toys The Last Jedi Luke Skywalker 1/6 Figure

    I have been haunted for months by this silly photo idea of an aging Luke Skywalker somehow holding his infant self in his arms. In my mind the image was eerie and surreal, but then I captured the photos and remembered that this is a franchise that features cloning, so it is probably not as...

    Hot Toys The Last Jedi Luke Skywalker 1/6 Figure

    I can't seem to find the photos now, but I could have sworn it was someone in this thread who first shared the idea of using a paperclip to attach Luke's lightsaber hilt to his belt. Whomever it was, I thank you for the idea! I broke most of the paperclip off, and then I just slid it beneath...

    1/6 Hot Toys - Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Luke Skywalker-CRAIT (Force Projection) -

    This is probably not the most necessary improvement, but the sculpt on the sticks in Luke's backpack always struck me as somewhat soft and cheap-looking, so I added some actual twigs instead: Next, I might replace the bottle. It's not that I have a strong dislike for the (admittedly...

    Asmus Bilbo reveal!

    Gorgeous shots, matmurdock. I especially like the one with the leafy backdrop. Sheesh, I thought the $130 or so that I paid was a steal! I'm kinda bummed he's so cheap, honestly, 'cause I've gotten him out of my system after a couple shoots and I want to focus my creative energies on Hot Toys...

    1/6 Hot Toys - Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Luke Skywalker-CRAIT (Force Projection) -

    D?oh! I spent my hobby money for the month about three hours before you posted that. Still, that gives me some hope; she?s been creeping up to about $300 on eBay. Thanks!

    The Anatomy of a Pose - A Central Hub for Tips and Tricks to Better Your Figures

    What an inspired thread! My poses usually revolve around an attempt to obscure an ugly joint or something, but here are a few I am happy with: Lost in a Good Book by Monte Williams I Mean the Game Called "Go Insane" by Monte Williams Men of God and Men of War Have Strange Affinities by...

    1/6 Hot Toys - Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Luke Skywalker-CRAIT (Force Projection) -

    Nice job on the photos, heon! Alas, this figure is way off in my eyes. And speaking of eyes, his look oversized, like he's Anime Luke or something. Maybe it's just me. If he hadn't followed Ahch-To Luke, perhaps I would look on him more favorably. However, with that said... This is true...

    Hot Toys The Last Jedi Luke Skywalker 1/6 Figure

    Disregard; I kept messing with it, and after some wiggling, the "blade" popped out! I had no idea it was removable. Huzzah! Also, I accidentally posted the following in the Crait Luke thread. Sheesh. This is probably not the most necessary improvement, but the sculpt on the sticks in Luke's...

    Hot Toys The Last Jedi Luke Skywalker 1/6 Figure

    I was just digging through old posts in this thread from before I joined it, and I saw some cool photos utilizing the weather vane. I removed the cloth piece from mine and used it as a new high-tech bo staff for NECA Henson Donatello. Pretty sure I haven't shared this here yet.

    Hot Toys The Last Jedi Luke Skywalker 1/6 Figure

    One bummer about this figure, for me at least, is the absence of an unlit lightsaber. I would prefer to have just a hilt rather than the saber they included; I don't like photographing lightsabers because they look fake since they're not lit, and every lightsaber effect app I have tried has...

    Hot Toys The Last Jedi Luke Skywalker 1/6 Figure

    I want more exotic steeds in general. I dig the sort of Acid Rain aesthetic of this beast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4y-go2dPME

    Hot Toys The Last Jedi Luke Skywalker 1/6 Figure

    He has been cheap on eBay lately, too. Several available for $200 and sometimes cheaper. I agree 100%. And happily for me it's a characterization and portrayal that I was very intrigued by, so for my money it's the best-quality figure of my favorite take on the character. Very happy-making. I...
