Nice. Really brings home how bad I wish HT would use some of SSC's sculptors.

Is it just me, or do the pants seem a bit too baggy? I have an old pair of SS farmboy pants, I wonder if they would look better?

I was planning to get two of these and redress one in the Yavin Luke outfit I have from SS (plus better boots). But, depending on how easy the farboy tunic comes off and can go back on in a way that still looks good, I might just keep one and swap between Farmboy and Yavin depending on my mood.

The instructions say not to remove the top, with a warning about ruining it's appearance.

Removed and water treated the top without any problem. I can see where one would end up damaging it as it's sewn in bizarre fashion.

good to know... I may not do it then. At least not until I see how some others have done it first.

So was there a particular way you removed it to avoid damaging it?

I would love to see your Luke after the water treatment.

It now says my Luke will be delivered on Tuesday instead of today, even though it's at the FedEx in Barrie (about 30 minutes from where I live).
No big deal, but I was quite excited about getting Luke today.

That's a great pose Alpha Scale ^^^^ very natural stance.

[surforia]

Yes, very easy, someone did it already.

Sweet - thanks!

Make sure you have an account with FedEx and always make sure your account is on the paperwork - you'll pay just HST, automatically billed to your CC and won't have to cover any processing/disbursement fees - could save you $20+ per delivery.

Thanks for that tip!!!!

 

[Mar-Vell]

Actually, FedEx just came!

So far I have everybody for the cockpit and the upcoming Leia too as an alternate. But when is this cockpit gonna come up for pre-order? Then it takes a whole year for them to release it once it goes to pre-order.

You'd better start building your own diorama - even if you never finish it, you'll have something versus nothing from HT.

Nothing special really. I just removed his head, put his arms up and gently pulled the tunic as sewing won't allow you to open it up. Still have to take the camera out and snap a few shots. Will try and post some tomorrow or satursday.

Not sure how to display luke?! He comes with so much and different stuff is the (good) problem. Just threw him up like this for now as I ran to work but still looking for ideas. Also a little disappointed u can't take out the grappling hook. That's the display I was looking to go for.

Your pose kind of reminds me of this...


I was thinking of using this poster for inspiration myself when I have everyone.

Also a little disappointed u can't take out the grappling hook. That's the display I was looking to go for.

Yea, me too. Still have to check if the grappling hook from the Luke Stormtrooper will work.

I may keep some of the extras for a few custom bashes I'm working on depending on their quality, like the boonie-style hat and poncho. The first thing to go will be the head sculpt.

Any idea of a price for the head sculpt???
