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

Such a great picture. Such meticulous grooming on Chewie. Such dynamic posing.

And then you notice that R2's body is backwards.

And no Princess?

Holy crap you're right. Don't think I've ever seen anyone get it THAT totally wrong before!

No way Han could actually stand like that, looks like he'd be falling over backwards.

It all depends on his back foot!

Tama 3PO must be stepping on it to anchor him.

But he seriously looks like he's surfing.

Can you show some pics on yours?

I don't have a pic of mine but I found this on ebay:

There is a small difference with the Luke stormtrooper and the normal Luke.
We all can see there's sweating on trooper Luke but his eyes are going to the right on the trooper and normal Luke his eyes are bang to the centre
It might have been said previously but I've only just noticed it.

That's creepy.

Still wish they did something different for Stormie Luke's hair.

Then you'd want a dianoga tentacle.

I wonder if you can get the Stormie Luke's hair off? I'm guessing it is glued on. If so, I'd like to try the "hat hair" from the farmboy Luke to see how it would look. It might pass for wet hair.

This is what you'd be getting. Only the one angle, so hard to tell if it has any potential. Maybe one of the Bespin hair pieces would work on the Tatooine sculpt.

Thanks for the pics of Luke with the hat hair James the Cat and TonTon -lol that clearly is meant for a hat over it - looks like his head was squeezed with a vice grip.

Thanks much appreciated

I can remember when somebody on here about 2 or maybe more years ago, posted a custom hair that he had made for Luke stormtrooper sideshow
When his hair is wet.
I Remember it been really good

Nice James . The set up, not the cone-head Luke

Can you show some pics on yours? I am pulling on mine and it seems to be locked in really good. Don't want to break it. The Ben arm seems to be really tight where the elbow joint meets the forearm. I can't get it off. Also it can't pull the elbow joint off the Bespin Luke bicep either. I'm kinda stuck. Are yours already loose? Cause I can't seem to get it.

As far as the "saber arm" I was able to pop the saber off the hand that was attached with a bit of glue. There is a wire that feeds from the lower part of the hilt into the hand. If there was enough slack in that wire theoretically you could move the saber lower so his hand grips the hilt at the top but then you'd most likely see some wire hanging out from certain angles. Again this all is based on the assumption there would be enough wire to accomplish this.

I've never came across joints that were actually glued on any bodies although they're so tight you'd bet they were. It's nothing that a hair drier won't loosen right up.

As for the arm swap, it may end up being easier to swap the whole arm starting from the mechanism inside the torso than a quick plug & play at the bicep. From what I see in pics, the joint peg on the new arm is pretty different than the usual as it's shorter and more like a prong than a peg. Usually you could trim the peg if it's too long to fit as Wor-Gar said, or wrap a little masking tape to beef it up if need be, but I'm imagining trimming the Bespin peg that short will leave it too small to get friction in the new bicep. Maybe cutting it down and using masking tape or blu tack will be passable, but it may not have the nicest fit and finish.

Good to hear about the saber. I'd like to try and make room for his other hand to grip the base of the hilt

Remember the days after the DX07 when nothing was coming from HT in the SW universe? The dark days when us fanboys started to dispair? A "flood of Star Wars figures" we said was expected after Luke ,not a parched, scorched desert of nothingness. The flood has come. So pick yourself up, wipe those tears from your eyes and bask in the warm embrace of the light Hot Toys has bestowed upon us!



Or something.....

That was a serious drought though, but the flood gates are open to the max now . Feast or famine
