That Jnix version looks very nice GG. I'm sorry i didn't pick one up

 

[jedijim3002]

Very cool. Thank you.

yeah I like it a lot. I used the sideshow clothing instead of the hot toys as it looked to thin

Trying different heads and hairsculpts.
Fist pic is my modified ANH HT head and hair sculpt on the left and the original HT on the right.

Then from left to right in the second pic it’s the Jnix, original HT, modified HT sculpt with SS pilot hair, then modified SS pilot sculpt with modified HT hair.

Third and fourth pic is Jnix, original HT, SS modified sculpt with SS hair, and modified HT head and hair.

Maybe it's different in person but I've never really liked the Jnix sculpt from what I've seen. I'd probably rather regular HT sculpt+hair first and then the Sideshow.

Are there any trash compactor hair customs for that dianoga dunk look?

I’ve wanted to make one for a long time. Probably since the HT stormtrooper Luke was announced.

I know what you mean. I wasn’t a fan originally or maybe I just told myself that so I wouldn’t pine over the sculpt I couldn’t afford for a long time. Something about it always seemed off. I wasn’t sure if it was Jnix’s paint job or the sculpt itself. It does have its qualities in person and if painted right does look amazing. I’ve seen several people with different paint jobs make it look great.

I’ve got another one coming with a different paint job to compare the two. I’ll post more pics when I have it.

Darn! Now I do like the Jnix sculpt. Can you still find this sculpt unpainted?

I think Hydeous has one unpainted he was willing to part with if you message him.

 

[jedijim3002]

Wow! What a difference paint can make. Thank you Hydeous for the amazing paint job.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Looks fantastic in that first pic.

I bought one off eBay a year or so back. I liked it because it was painted looking off to the side. Seems like a divisive sculpt, but I like it, so that’s all that matters .

 

[jedijim3002]

Looks great!

Hey everyone, after having to sell my entire collection , thanks to Covid , I’m slowly building my collection back. So I’m back, lol.
Anyway, I just picked to the ANH Luke, what mods or upgrades have been done to this figure by you guys? Different body, etc, are their any recipes?

 

[jedijim3002]

It’s a pretty solid release unless you go with custom upgrades like a new tunic or fabric boots. The biggest upgrade would be the head if you are not fond of the HT sculpt. Many different configurations on this thread. Check them out to see which ones you like.
