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

[Mad Old Lu]

It's like they're doing it for laughs now.

It damn well seems that way, doesn't it?

 

[Bo Shrek]

Yeah, the height thing too.

It's like they're doing it for laughs now.

all the while taking your money too!!

Is that Sideshow on the left and Medicom on the right?

If I were a betting man, I would bet all the money in my wallet that the Medi UU Han is taller that both of them. Oh, the irony of it all.

I must kill the Queen...

 

[Tom Day]

That looks very realistic. What's that lightsaber he's holding?

 

[Rorywan]

Careful Greg.. (they are listening..)

You must have HT DX13. Do you mind doing a head comparison shot. I would love to see both of their eyes in one picture. Just to compare.
IMO Lukes eyes are just too big. Making him look like a doll as opposed to a high end "mans" collectable figure.

But don't take the photo with the lens pressed right up again the figure like in these recent shots. Stand at least 6 to 8 feet back.

Got to love the frozen lightsaber blade. Complete with frost.

...depends what lens you have on though...

Those look like cellphone photos to me, and the figure is somewhat distorted in all of them.

Yeah sure, cellphone iPad pics will distort the hell out of anything. You can still "unwrap" it in your mind though and see the issues.. Well, I can anyway.
I've just spent two 20 hour days shooting a car with Anamorphic lenses, my brain does it automatically now...

Thanks for the pic!

Eye issues aside, if I was offered the choice of those two heads solely based on this pic, I'd choose the one on the right. It just has a better Luke likeness. Without the phone pic distortion we've seen in many of the pics so far, the SSC Luke head shape looks okay.

The heads in the pic above are almost at 1:1 scale. The eyes are an issue in 4X pics, but I only look at my figures at 1:1. Really interested to see how much of an issue it is at that scale.

EDIT: That is a killer collection in the backgrounds by the way.

Any chance you could put the Sideshow head on the Bespin body? I'd be curious to see what that looks like.
