obi wan is an AMAZING sculpt. factory paint killed another one. I repainted mine and it's fabulous! haven't seen a repaint of the Luke, but the sculpt is solid. Trevor grove gold!! both of them!!
Excellent video review buddy
"I think I strained something when I was using the Force..."Great shots, guys. John, can't help but feel like Luke is showing R2 some kind of rash he's got going on in his groin region in that last shot. "Hey, R2 shine your spotlight over here, should I get this thing checked out?"
Obi wan's face is like he is *****ting his pants and Luke's expression is like its not the first time.

ANH Luke is super iconic, but this release while somewhat impressive when you see all the parts distributed in a box, is a pretty low-end affair for Hot Toys. I'll concur with Para that the soft-goods are super weak-sauce and honestly, the sculpted stuff isn't much better. The long rifle for instance is laughable.
You want to know how badly HT wanted to save pennies on this one? Sculpted belt parts and re-use of the ESB/Bespin saber hilt is all you need to know.
More sculpted belt parts? Come on, Hot Toys. I don't like the sound of the shirt either. I hate when fabric is overly think/rough and will not lay naturally no matter what you do. I know I've went on about this before but I really think HT should have went with actual fabric for the leg wrappings. Hot Toys is supposed to be the premiere 1/6 company but some of their decisions are odd and below what I would expect from this price point. Like I think they should do away with molded shoe and boots at this point. It's time to move to what DiD and other companies have been doing for years i.e. using real laces, straps, materials etc. for footwear. They've done it before with Joker 2.0 and Indy with great results. But honestly when it comes to a lot of things like tailoring, accessories, packaging there are other companies that are HT's equal if not better. I think sometimes this unrivaled status Hot Toys gets comes from people who have bought only Hot Toys.
Awesome shot, Comatoast. Took some portraits of Luke over the weekend under different lighting conditions. The paint work is really impressive on these figures.
