1/6th Scale Sideshow Hoth Luke Skywalker (Echo Base)

[TaliBane]

Were the Tauntaun's eyes ever really narrowed in the movie or in pics like the SSC one has?

 

[Stealth V3teran]

Great pic Stealth. They make a fantastic display together.

That is museum quality right there. Great picture skills.

Yep, that's a nice photo alright. They both look great.

Many thanks guys, glad you like the pic.

This guy is sitting in my besta ATM untill i complete my dio

I got this figure today. Really impressive piece. I need the Han now (doubt I can justify a Tauntaun, plus I would probably break it!)

Luke in hand?...... Yeah really good!

 

[joebizz34]

Better?

 

[careyb]

Watching review videos , the sculpt is good and it looks like Hamil. The eyes.are lifelike. The problem which I think we can all agree on is the paint detail in the face. It makes it look like.....plastic! Maybe not enough shading. It probably throws the head sculpt off a bit

Better Joebizz.

Got mine a couple weeks ago. I really love it. That's all.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Nice, clean set-up, marker. Like how those Hoth bases really tie everything together, too.

Recently picked this up and unboxed it today, I think its great overall. Complaints: Hate the rank badge, color of the vest, the lit saber, and the stock body. I bashed the unhatted head with the Jedi Luke and really like the result, almost like a free figure. Probably won't even swap the body because I plan to grab a taun taun for Luke so the height will most likely not be too noticeable next to han when I get him. Will be using RIT tan dye on the vest, any advice? Would also like to snow weather them up but a little afraid I will trash the figure.

I used about a quarter of the sachet of the tan powder mixed in hot water. It looked quite dark brown soaked but once dried looks fine.

Also ordered a cheap copy of truetype slim body for the spare head and use sideshow jedi Lukes outfit.

Which Ebay "Slim" knock-off are people buying?

Which Ebay "Slim" knock-off are people buying?

I'd love to know that too, because the only one I've ever seen is about $40, or 2x the price of the non-slim Narrow Shoulder (ttm18 knock-offs).

If it's the same one I got a couple of years ago for Marmits:

Narrow Shoulder 1 6 Scale Action Figure Nude Male Body W Neck FIT HOT Toys TTM19 | eBay

I liked S2.5s better for troopers because of the hips, but this may work for y'all.

 

[Pixelpiper]

OOPS. That link is looks like the standard "Narrow Shoulder" size but with a built-in neck.

I need these for other projects as I don't plan to change out the bodies on HT's troopers, but yeah, the regular "Narrow Shoulder" proportions don't work well with Marmit or Sideshow armor from previous reports, so I wouldn't expect any different with HT's.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Yeah, I don't think that's the "slim" like you think, Pixel. I think slim and narrow shouldered have been used interchangeably on the boards (and probably on ebay), through no fault of anyone's. Just an honest mistake.

 

[Pixelpiper]

Yeah, I don't think that's the "slim" like you think, Pixel. .

I only have one definition for slim, a shorter, thin body. HT's TTM22 and anything like it in proportions. The upper chest should be very narrow compared to regular or muscle bodies.

Here's the only true knock-off I know about: Custom Design 1 6 Nude Male Advanced Slim Body Fits to Hot Toys TTM22 TTM18 | eBay

"Narrow Shoulder" is just a variation on a normal/regular body, the most common found on third party figures and knock-off naked bodies. TTM18 style, smaller arms than HT's newer TTM21 "Regular"

The link ZE posted turns out is just a Narrow Shoulder with built-in neck - I just measured one of the ones I have here and it's about 10" from heel to shoulder as well.


Real HT Slim ($50 retail, now up to $100+):

Knock-off Slim ($40):

 

[ZE_501]

Yeah, I don't actually know since I haven't had a TT Slim in-hand, unless that DX07 body is a modified TT Slim...the wide array of 1/6 bodies out there is confusing.
