1/6 Hot Toys - MMS297 - Star Wars: Episode IV - Luke Skywalker Collectible Figure

Thanks, rhboyd.


I thought people had tried and it wasn't taking.

I see Adam Driver in that Han picture! It IS his kid.

Which Han picture are you referring to? The actual picture of Han, or the picture of the green Han sculpt? If the latter, I'm seeing more of a Hulk resemblance myself.

Opinion is fine for expressing satisfaction, but the product can be quantified on a number of merits, some of which you've already mentioned. Moulded pouches, absolutely incorrect fabric selection, ncorrect patterns and designs. The head sculpts too: like them or don't, but whether the likeness is there isn't a matter of opinion when you can duplicate angles and put it up against source video and photos.

This is Han Solo. I have no idea what on earth Hot Toys shipped, but I got rid of it as if it were covered in nuclear waste.

I'm curious, where can you get that sculpt?

Thanks, rhboyd.

I thought I read that too so I didn't bother.

I'm with you guys on the tunic. I'll likely give the water treatment a try as I currently just have it covered it up with the poncho. The poncho looks great but it's not like it's very iconic. I think part of the problem with the tunic is the stitching is influencing the look so short of undoing some of that, there's only so much the water will do--hopefully I'm wrong.

 

[Tee-Kay]

Water treatment does work to some extent. Thickness of the material doesn't help though.

 

[rhboyd]

I soaked it in slightly warm water... bit of soap... and gave it a scrubbing. you need to wash out the sizing that's used to stiffen the fabric for easy of patterning and cutting and whatnot.

I'll drag the tunic in the snow and sand behind my car for a few days to soften it up.

Sculpt looks ENORMOUS on those shoulders. Not sure I see an improvement either, but time may tell.

Not sure how we got into a Han sculpt discussion on the Luke thread, but I'll play. Here's Han:

A Hot Toys figure that combined Star Wars and the Avengers? Don't give them ideas...

WOW!! Pixelpiper. Will this be available for sale?

It's Inigo's sculpt and it's on sale now at the link I pasted above. Emeraldknight is handling the sales thread.

1/6 is about the finished figure. The bodies, unless intended to be posed nude, can be thought of as skeletons. Don't worry about it being too big, it's not (the illusion is compounded by the appearance of the neck as long).

Cool...

I miss Trevor in these here parts.

 

[The Green Goblin]

Looks a bit like David Duchovny to me.

 

[jedibear]

What happened to Luke in here?

Best true sculptor I've ever even HEARD of working in this arena. Wish they'd lend him out to Hot Toys for the clay/resin creations and then clone JC to do all the paint work.
