Posted this pic on the C-3PO thread but thought it would work here too. All that's left is Leia to complete the main OT cast members (minus Yoda, Lando and the Emperor arguably). Hot toys did a great job with Luke!

Yep, looks great. The problem with both Hamill and Ford is they look so different depending on the angle/expression. HT and SS have to choose a reference shot and run with it.
I still think the Hot Toys Luke sculpt is very close. Especially after repaint. What do you think? I know the lighting is entirely different and the set of his mouth in this shot is slightly different, but still....View attachment 237378
Nice one. He looks a little melancholy in that last pic.
My Luke must be somewhere over the Pacific about now.
THIS! This is EXACTLY what the problem is. I had a hard time finding a good reference photo because there is great variance in Hamill's look
this is a product of all of us wanting neckless sculpts. Most humans have some connection between their neck and jaw. young Luke was a little soft in the jaw line, and by sculpting the head separate from the neck, that line got hardened. and I, for one, am perfectly ok with the small sacrifice of a tiny perfect Mark Hamill for a near-perfect 1/6th amazing Luke Skywalker!!
fully agree. The visible neck joint is why we all wanted the neckless sculpts! but for all that, my ultimate Luke is the Tatooine Luke, so this one is fabulous! as I said, a small sacrifice in likeness to have a great representation of the character! I gotta post pics... I repainted his hair, and weathered the clothes... I'm very happy with him!!
Luke parts up at TA.
