I own Jinx sculpt and all I ever see is:

I've never done sculpting, but wonder why Mark is so hard to capture?

Don’t start all that again - I got so much stick for posting that originally!!

I still bought two though...

Haven’t posed him with the training ball in a long time. Nice ones Matrix!

The last three are the same pose, but different backgrounds outdoors for the varied lighting:

Well after TLJ left me loving the character more than ever, I finally decided I just needed to have an ANH Luke dammit, even if this figure has always looked really underwhelming to me in the past. But someone on eBay was offering a custom with the Medicom hair piece, and I thought it might be worth taking a chance on. And while not perfect, for me this hair still works a lot better with the way it flares out and has much more of that 70s look to it.

I then repainted the eyes to remove that perpetually stoned look that's always bugged me, thickened the eyebrows, and heated up and narrowed that wide jaw a bit. Overall I'm pretty happy with it now, although I might also make a new tunic at some point that hangs better and is not so incredibly stiff.










And here it is with the HT hairpiece I lightened up. It looks good from some angles, but on the figure just looks way too narrow and coneheady for my taste.

Looks good. I would try to paint the eyes but dam it i cant paint that small .

Jeez he looks fantastic. Might be one of the best ANH Luke’s I’ve seen. The medicom hair looks feathered and bouncy compared to the HT. And the jawline fix makes a big difference.

Thanks for stepping us through this custom, it’s great work.

 

[SilverStar17]

Wow, that looks really good. Great work!

 

[davejames]

Yeah it seems sculpted a bit better than the X-Wing Luke hair, even if it's parted much more in the middle than it should be.

I sold my Jnix version off, sculpt was good, but the paint work was pretty bad.
