THis picture helped me get my Luke's scarf just right. Took some futzing but I think I got it pretty darn close!

Thanks for posting this pic Piper!

After looking at all the modifications and the obvious improvements made - I finally pulled the trigger on this figure.
Really looking forward to getting it this week, but I have a question about the RIT Tan Dye...
Is Luke's outer jacket made of natural or synthetic material?
The dye pack (it's the powder/granule dye not liquid) states to use additional salt for natural and vinegar for synthetic.
I'm new on here and was hoping for a little bit of help. Thanks.

I just poured about third of the sachet into a small pan of hot water, then dunked the jacket in for 10 mins. No salt used, thought I'd made to dark at 1st but once dried the result is on previous page.

Good luck!

Just make sure you use a fair amount of water - if you use too little, the granules don't all dissolve and you can get some small dots of random colors (red etc.) amidst the tan color. I've had that happen in the past and they are permanent.

That's simplified it - thanks guys.
I'll let you know the results, once I've completed my mod's!

I know it's super late, but this is my mod Luke (Hoth).

I swapped the body to a HT TTM22, padded a little bit, painted the boots, dye the vest, velcro vest mod and badge mod. All the other things are stock.

@Geraldfire Looks good! I always meant to mod mine but never got around to it. Hard to believe we’ve had this for 7 years now.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Next upgrade: Luke Snowspeeder boots

 

[jedijim3002]

Nice work! Looks really good.

Speaking of which, does Luke wear the same gloves and boots for the Hoth outfit as the Snowspeeder outfit?

 

[Cocoboloboy]

The boots and gloves look the same to me too. I was planning on picking up a second Speeder Luke and using it to mod my SS Hoth Luke.

I'm sure a HT Hoth Luke can't be too far behind.

I agree. They are running out of OT Luke’s to make… Hoth, Yavin, & X-Wing Luke are really all that’s left. And since HT isn’t making any Hans then the chances of more OT Lukes are pretty high.

You forgot:
Garbage smasher Luke (wet hair)
Taun Taun smelly Luke with scratch and sniff
Bacta tank Luke
Incestuous kiss Luke
Dagoba training Luke
Medical frigate Luke
Pilot with Jedi face Luke
Ewok BBQ Luke with kebob and fire pit
Lightning damage Luke
Sixth Sense I see dead people Luke

I want a Yavin medal ceremony Luke and Leia. That outfit is pretty heavily used in the comics.

LETS GO HOT TOYS, LETS GO. I don’t want to have to wait till 2027 for some 50th anniversary bs. Make that figure and make that money NOW

So here what it looks like, Most of this is the snowspeeder Luke with the SSC pants, shirt, vest, and headgear. The boots, pants, and vest are all too close in color but overall I like it. I plan on making a X-wing Luke with the flightsuit parts, and I may swap gloves & boots on my hoth Han as well. The SSC gloves are huge

 

[Star What?]

Good stuff @shull24.

 

[Geraldfire]

Just dye the vest and will be awesome.

Like that we don't even need a new HT version. (I'm aware some parts are HT)
