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

[Medusoid]

Is the exclusive still wait listed on SSC?

Not anymore.

 

[Mike86]

Kind of debating cancelling both Luke and Han too. They're nice figures but seem flawed and I'm not sure they're worth $200 a piece to me.

 

[davejames]

Yeah I was on the edge of cancelling my Han figure earlier (but decided against it). But there's no way in hell I could justify paying for both of these Hoth figures, with the quality issues we've seen.

 

[TonTon]

Luke and Solo's bodies are identical. Heads/necks were not pushed in correctly and legs were not attached properly.

Are there different levels for the head attachment? I only have the Snowtrooper to go on, but I know that head clicks twice on attaching if you want to have one slightly shorter than the other. Any chance something similar is going on here?

Couple new shots of Luke via Sideshow (tauntaun pics updated)

 

[Mike86]

Both are now cancelled. I just don't feel like I can justify the price for both with the issues they have and I wanted them as a set of I was getting them. Han just wasn't cutting it for me. With the decent Hamill sculpt I might order the Red 5 Luke instead.

Still no word when Luke is shipping?
I want him before all the snow here melts so I can hang him upside down in a huge snow bank.

Have to admit, that does look really damn cool.

And it's 12"?

 

[Anthrapoid]

Making Luke shorter is just too easy a fix to let this issue upset me.
Making the HT Chewie taller is a different story, but I know I can do that too- with more work.

I went on the waitlist and was converted in less than a day, there seems to be a big turnover on this figure...

WOW....the exclusive is back for regular sale...NO waitlist....must be a lot of cancels...

 

[Wor-Gar]

These cancelations, along with Han's, and Spooktacular backlog of stock, has had a lot to do with setting this new NRD policy in place, I think.

Damn I was hoping this was shipping already. I guess it really is April. After just receiving R2, I couldn't be more pumped for these 2 and to do a little winter weathering will be fun.

I get the same feeling ...and seriously, **** Sideshow.
Maybe don't produce rubbish and there won't be massive cancellations....

Glad Luke is not wait listed any more for the exclusive. I was able to s witch to 2 payments v s full payment. I have a lot of figures preordered and nice not adding one big payment of 199.99 plus shipping. Got taun taun and its amazing! Even my wife loved it! She said it is the center piece of my collection, even though she has not seen my other 200 plus figures that are still on boxes till we buy our new house and move.

That's pretty funny.

The penny is starting to drop more broadly now, it seems - sucked into 'em.

 

[anwe]

Well you can't really blame people for mass cancelling these Hoth figures, if that is actually what's happening. Seems pretty likely though. That port strike was both a blessing and a curse depending on which side of the issue you are. Without it a lot of people would be stuck with them, now they get time to cancel.

For anyone interested.
I kept the PERS fully functional because I thought they would be useful for posing on the Tauntaun.

Pretty sure everyone is interested. Can't wait to see the assembled version.
