Don't see Hamill in that sculpt... Just looks like a guy with a bad cold.

I'm not sure what the point of the scene-specific damaged head sculpt is without an expression that makes sense for a that specific scene. This sculpt has always been an easy pass for me, and another to add to the list of useless exclusive items. Glad they included a hatless head as standard, but he never appears in the movie like that. Contrast with Han where the exclusive is a hatless head sculpt matching many scenes which would have been more appropriately included as standard.

Well after watching the review I think both look fantastic and for the EX head when they showed a shot of him upside down the sculpt looked better. Proto looked good just standing or upside down but from the production head it'll look better if you put him upside down. Still needs a bit more blood.

Yeah really, did Sideshow keep the Star Wars stuntman license and Hot Toys the actors?
Ummm, what?

Here's a the IGN video at Youtube - this way you don't have to use that Flash horse**** on the dumpy IGN site.

I have no idea either,
On a serious note, Han looks really good. These are going to look good on my detolf.

I have $100 in rewards and I'm really tempted to use them on a Taun-taun.

Biggest fail for me is that both figures are precisely the same height and appear to be using the exact same body.

You're right! I didn't notice before! You would have thought Sideshow would have learned after the crap they got with the Han and Luke in Stormie disguise figures being the same height.
I wonder which one is the wrong one--is Luke on the tall body or is Han on the short body?

Does this come with a Battle Damage head sculpt or no?
I just saw some one post a pic on the OSR Facebook page of a BD sculpt.

I was happy about this video until I found out IGN did it..These guys are clueless on collecting and how to handle figures

That is a screen cap from youtube, always a bad source of what something actually looks like (lighting, colors, resolution issues,) so I'll reserve judgement.
From that, I would say the BD head looks better on the production piece than prototype.

Does that IGN guy seriously have an rebel insignia tattooed to his forearm?
That level of geekdom must be a prerequisite to work at IGN.
True, but I think some of these were actually photos that they panned over Ken Burns style, and the Han screen grabs look really good. Either way, I agree it's best to reserve judgement. It's funny Luke is probably seen more in his Hoth gear all bloodied up than normal looking. He's out there for 2 seconds before the Wampa comes and drags him away.
