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

[Wor-Gar]

Now, what short body to use for Luke?

Clothing is so loose on the tall body it might be a real problem on a Slim body. Maybe just pose Luke crouched, or on a Taun Taun.

Wonder if the outfit will go on the HT body. I'm likely going to swap it out.

For the price of an HT Slim it may be cheaper to buy a Taun Taun.

I just watched an unboxing of both Luke and Han and noticed that they're both the same height lol. So I went to check the specs on Sideshow and sure enough, they're both listed at 12". Was this a complaint before release because the Darth Vader figures always seem to get all the flack for being too tall, yet this Luke is also too tall. Posing him with Han really emphasizes the height error.

Are Sideshow sticking to their old 12" figure scale for everything? Lol.

My thoughts exactly!

That IGN unboxing was annoying, I couldn't even finish it. The rank badge being messed up bothers me quite a bit and the battle damaged head sculpt looks sort of weird. Otherwise I still think the figure is pretty solid looking.

I spoke with CS and they said Han is expected to ship in the next week or so but Luke might be a little longer. They said they don't know given the port strike backlog etc. The review figures are "samples" that arrive separately.

Spoiler

As I thought. Those figures were hand picked for reviewers.

Mines out for delivery

Sideshow have done a good job on these.

 

[shocktrooper_au]

Han turned out better and I think the luke looks a smidge taller, maybe they mixed up the bodies lol

We should be thankful that R2 isn't exactly 12" tall.

 

[shocktrooper_au]

Han looks shorter, but that's only because he's further away.

wasnt referring to your pic, but the side by side in the video, they look nice overall, would be awesome weathered, but think luke could do with a bidy swap for height and better shape as the clothes look a bit square on him

Maybe Sideshow should hire these guys and translate their work into 1/6 scale ;-)

Who's the sculpted dude in the middle supposed to be? Looks a bit like Jett Lucas.

And... it's so weird they all sculpted at the same time so close to each other.

 

[robbiethepainter]

I would say Trevor has done a better job then those guys. We just need to get resin copies of his originals.

 

[Rorywan]

That Luke is amazing. Just a strange expression.

 

[karamazov80]

I think that Han rivals any Solo sculpt I've seen.

 

[davejames]

Yeah those are some pretty cool sculpts. Can't wait to see the finished wax versions.
