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

[Cocoboloboy]

I stripped down my SS Luke a couple days ago and replaced the HT pants. I thought they looked too pink whereas the SS pants are a nice tan color. Looks perfect to me. There's nothing else from the SS figure I liked better than HT's though.

I remember the poncho he gets after selling the Landspeeder, but when does Luke wear the bucket hat and goggles?

 

[Tee-Kay]

Bucket Hat an goggles are from a deleted scene.

My girlfriend just got me a Luke. She found him at disneyland. I'm pretty stoked.

so jim which outfit do you like better ss or HT? I`m using the ss top with the pants from hot toys and the wig from the x-wing luke. also who still has the luke and han stormtrooper outfit from ssc. if any one still kept them they could always use the grappling hook open one with the ss exclusive hot toys version

I like the material from the Hot Toys tunic better. The sideshow has a very rough feeling to it and the HT looks and feels closer to the original material to me anyway. I do like the SS pants better because they seem to be more form fitted but I'm not too keen on the wraps cause to me it never looks right. Bunched or wrinkled where the HT looks perfect even though it's rubber.

I'm loving this figure, ignore the predator background, I haven't had time to switch it out yet.

Where is the picture of this change...?

So there's going to be far more Han stormtrooper belts than Luke belts?

Predators vs Jedi could be fun

My money is on Jedi.

Hmmm, I must not have had a HT human figure in ages. The necks don't turn?

Freaking SSC! I paid off my last flex payment early on March 10. So yesterday, I still had not gotten any shipping info. I do the live chat and am told my order was "Locked" but it will now be unlocked and be shipped out that night.

I check my order this morning and it still says "Locked" and no shipping info yet. Come on, it's not that hard.

I went ahead and jumped on the wait list for the Luke EX in hopes that they will rerelease him... Thoughts?

You just gotta keep on them. Once they seemingly realize that you're watching it, they'll get a move on it. I've had something similar happen with two figures (AoU Hulk and SSC C-3PO). One they said mistakenly got lost in the system after the final payment was deducted and the other they said they were behind in shipping, so it was delayed.

Either way, once I called on both of them, they shipped out the next day. For issues such as this, I would call and actually speak to someone as opposed to doing a live chat.

One thing I noticed they do though in order to cover their arse, is on the shipping label, they list the invoice date as being the same day as the shipping date when that isn't always the case.

I got a hold of Tesa at SSC today who said after it was sent to shipping yesterday, they sent it back for an unknown reason. After being sent back by shipping, it was put on hold again. It's a good thing I followed up because it would have just sat there until I did. Tesa said she resubmitted it and waived the pack out fee and upgraded it to 3 day shipping.

Yeah, I find actually calling them on issues such as this and speaking directly to someone tends to yield good results. That's how it was with my AoU Hulk. If I hadn't called and inquired about it, it would have just stagnated in the system and never have went through.

I got my Luke last night. My gf bought him for me while she was at disney. Not a figure I would have bought for myself. I mean he's alright. Better likeness than the DX version, I think. He also comes with a lot of "stuff" that I'll never display him with. He doesn't look whiney enough. Oh well, I guess I can't complain too much, I didn't buy him.

 

[SilverStar17]

Nice, now that's a girlfriend to have.

I have to say that I think the DX likeness is better than this one though, even though I'm content with the likeness of this sculpt.

Here's my contribution to the pic pile. enjoy.
