Looks great, CW!
I personally prefer the HT sculpts myself for both figures, mainly for the expressions.

you guys are being to harsh on jnix`s work I think we need to drop it.
I do think Jnix put too much "five o'clock shadow" stubble color for Luke.
I think both sculpts have their problems, but for now I'm perfectly happy with the HT sculpt.

What I really can't stand though, is the huge neck... I wish there was a replacement for that body.
As long as people are being courteous and measured in their comments then I don't see why they shouldn't say what they see.
I love Jnix's work but this one went wrong somehow. To me I can almost see Zachary Quinto in the face and eyes. But Jnix is a special talent and an absolutely exemplary seller to deal with.
Just wanted to mention that I don't have this in hand so quite possibly my opinion would be different if I did.
EDIT: and while it may not capture Hamill's features for me it still displays Jnix's talent at sculpting and painting human faces.
The HT Luke body/neck is one of the most restrictive in terms of head poses I've ever encountered. They may has well have just given him a swivel neck. Not sure what the issue is - I have other figs that are similar set-ups and they have normal articulation. Maybe it's his long 70's hair at the back that restricts it.
I've been wondering what body I could use to swap, it seems to me that it's just the thickness of the neck that needs fixing.
Thought I'd try a side-by-side comparison of the 2 heads, with Hamill in SW.
HT failed in the eyes, and the mouth is a bit wrong (on both). The shape of the face is actually good on it, I think.
There's something in Jnix's that throws it off a bit. Like the nose/mouth area too far forward, or the cheeks aren't full enough.
I still see more Hamill in Jnix's sculpt, and will be the one I display.
The eyes are set too deep. I brought it up on the thread but there was a lot of noise going on so I didn't push it. That's my real gripe with it but I don't have mine in hand yet, just going by pics.

I'm bummed that Jnix's Luke didn't quite measure up to the greatness of his Han. Still nice work and a lot to appreciate, but not nailed like Han. Hopefully his ben will be great.
