Man I hope this is out for christmas

Can you imagine the wait time if that were the case

Yeah, it would take years...

I'm joking, but yes it would take longer. Essentially, they wouldn't have as much coming out as once.

He would probably develop crippling carpal tunnel and have to retire.

I don't see a huge amount of difference between those two heads, mostly lighting and resolution. Not sure what you mean by "far superior."

Agreed, someone posted the still of Mark H. next to the prod. Luke, (I can't find it now), but looked pretty spot on, I think the eyes are better on prod. piece shown. I hope it is here before Christmas as well. Chewie & Han need some backup!

Paramoremcr88 has his figure - here comes some great pictures!!!!!

 

[Sundowner]

Just some quick shots, I'll leave the photo session to jason later this week

Looks good, great pics

Just had a quick look. I can't quite put my finger on it but the sculpt seems better than Stormie Luke. Could just be having a neck and in normal clothing?

 

[TonTon]

The sweat ruins the likeness, maybe? Do you still have the stormie Luke to do any side-by-sides?

No, Stormie Luke arrived with his new owner yesterday.

I bet a skin tone neck does more for a likeness than we might think.

I'm not sure what it does for the "likeness" but that is one "feature" I could have done without.

Few things in this forum make me happier than learning that Paramore has received a new figure!!!!

...even though Paramore's pictures SUCK!

Here's some quick pics...

and yes, that's a medicom light up saber.
Interesting to note that the cuffs of the tunic are wired.
Also the sculpt, like Solo's, is spot on from the side profile.

Looks great with Threepio.

Are the leg wraps actual wraps like Sideshows or are they sculpted?

They are sculpted, as are the pouches on the belt.

I noticed right away that it was at least a ANH version. I'd love to see a comparison shot of the medicom saber with Hot Toys to see the differences in scale and quality. A Sideshow Saber would also be good to see in the group along with whatever other options out there exists. Not that I assume you have all those, but a picture comparing whatever you have would be greatly appreciated.

Lightsaber is nice and bright!

Bottom is Medicom, middle is new release and top is DX07. I don't have a SSC lightsaber.

As you can see, the Medicom is softer in the details and has a duller paint finish. Medi looks much more plasticky.
Hope this helps.
Edited to add: they are all the same size. The difference in the photo is down to perspective.
