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

[VintijDroidGutzz]

There's no getting around those eyes folks.

Luke is now John Tracy.

Yeah, I guess they were trying something new on the saber. I guess the generic smooth clear plastic works best, even though it reads as a lightsaber about as well as the Kenner vintage ones did.

It's Elsa's lightsaber from the Frozen/Star Wars crossover.

Opened up mine this morning.

First thoughts:
My Solo is taller than Skywalker, so they must have fixed the body error.
Solo's eyes are better than Luke's.
Both heads are poor, but Solo is better.
Luke's eyes are absolutely retarded.

Blah blah blah - are they fixable?

I posted in the other thread too soon it seems. So maybe the height discrepancy that was reported so far was an isolated (or not widespread) issue?

Nice! Is that the POTF Tauntaun?

It's actually snow flakes falling on it.

That's a relief!

Sorry you're not happy with the heads. Still interested in hearing what you have to say about the figures overall once you've had a chance to "play" with them.

I popped open Luke's head. When I saw the face sculpt without the eyes I was pretty sad. Take the puppet eyes out and you can see a great sculpt underneath.

Can you post a picture of that , please?

You mean "special"?

Take the puppet eyes out ...

I am a pup-pet.

Damn, too bad your camera is broken.

@ Rorywan, do you think adding 'guyliner' will help the open eyed expression a bit or will that just make it worse?

Sorry if that's a stupid question. I'm not that hip to the more recent 3 3/4 figs so I'm not sure if the POTF line is only in that scale, but this eBay listing had it advertised as that.

Is the one in goldo's pics the same as this one?: Star Wars POTF2 Action Collection 1 6 12" Tauntaun Luke Hoth Rebel | eBay

Has Rory fixed this yet?

Thanks to this board, i cancelled and reordered with march's code saving me $20. Almost had abandonned hope on this one

 

[Rorywan]

Ok, so I took the whole thing apart, put it back onto a HT TT, modded a HT Bespin head and mixed it with SS head. The top half of the hat comes off to allow perfect access to PERS. I have to say it looks fantastic, better than I had hoped.

 

[Cavlcade]

Prick tease

 

[Rorywan]

I can't log in on my Mac, which is why I haven't posted pics. It won't send me the "forgot password" email.
Anyone else have this problem? I'm still logged in on my iPhone, but I haven't had to log in for ages and can't remember it.

Did you use the BD or reg HT face?
