Super Freak
Wow, my shipping/processing was moved forward, and it will now be going out tomorrow. Beyond excited.
For this (ANH) Luke, or do you mean for RotJ Luke?

The Bespin one was painted by Jnix himself, and my ANH one by Mark Simpson. As you can see, this sculpt really benefits from a top-class paint-job (Sorry Jnix!!).
It’s definitely slightly bigger but a bit closer than I expected. Nose jumps out as being a bit more wide on the SS and the 3/4 angle you can see the larger jaw/cheek area, but everything mostly lines up. Shows how egg-headed the Hot Toys sculpt is that it still ends up being taller in the shot on the left.
Get that thing painted already!
I know you meant get it painted by a professional, but I can't justify that kind of expense for an SSC recast unless I know Hamill can really be brought out from it. Sorry to disappoint in that respect, but I did paint it myself. Even with my crappy paint job, I think you can see the potential if a skilled artist would give this a shot. Here's a couple views in trooper gear (since that's the costume the sculpt was originally designed for).

And a couple angled shots in Farmboy costume.

And, finally, some Farmboy shots trying to capture every relevant angle. I think the sculpt has a fairly convincing likeness from profile and angled views, but suffers a lot in the most important view (straight-on). Not what I was hoping for, but not bad.

Again, I apologize that I'm not able to provide a professional paint app on this recast, but hopefully someone else can do that and post pics soon. I still think there's a strong likeness in this sculpt that a pro painter can take advantage of and turn into something way better than what Sideshow did with it.
I think this is the best sculpt we have so far.
