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

[TonTon]

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.

Very nice work getting rid of the stoner eyes. I do get an Ezra from Rebels vibe in one of the shots (something about the bridge of the nose and maybe that wider hair part). But overall it really does capture Hamill a bit more than the stock head.

It’s a fun figure to get, really nice when it feels like the company went all out with the accessories.

haha, must admit I had the same thought there.....

Ha yeah I figured that would annoy some, but it was my honest inspiration for getting the figure, so oh well.

Yeah the nose is definitely a bit too wide up top, and the expression is still way too serious for my taste, but overall I'm pretty happy with the figure and love all the different accessories and display options it has.

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.

That looks really good with the Medi hair...!

While I hold a 180 degree different opinion on TLJ, lol... that looks great! Your approaching the undeniable likeness of the Proto...and the lighter hair kickers it up another notch!

Didn’t we discuss you quitting your day job and starting up a figure customization and 1/6 scale tailoring business? Let me know when you want to get this going. Well work out a business plan.

Wow! I am really impressed and jealous DaveJames! That looks amazing.

 

[Bikerscout]

Very impressive davejames! That hair made a real improvement. Good job!

 

[Smash]

Damn son. Davejames can I buy a ANH Luke and send it to you for some customs lol

 

[davejames]

Thanks guys. I also picked up a SS Yavin Luke that I'm working on, since I've always loved that look for him as well.

Hey, thanks man, really appreciate that! Sorry, I just saw this today for some reason!

Well, Comatoast, the pic you did with the HT Luke holding the Skyhopper is the best I've seen that sculpt look. And, the pic you posted above of the Jnix sculpt is the best I've seen that one look too. Without getting into criticizing either sculpt (both sculptors being talented and having invested time & energy into making their art), I just want to give you props for being phenomenally talented at presenting them the way you have. You're brilliant at it, and it's really cool to see your artwork.

I think that's the DeAgostini one.

Taken at the premiere in December - Hamill looks great without the hobo-hermit vibe imposed on him. Ah, the Luke movie that could have been.

Never get tired of seeing Comatoast's photos, this one is fantastic! Love it!!

 

[Comatoast]

Thanks, guys! And thanks, Qui-Gon, check's in the mail buddy!

That is indeed the DeAgostini model. It's pretty close to the right scale, maybe a JUST a bit too big, but very close.
