That looks fantastic!! Great weathering and scarring on Luke. And the Wampa is all kinds of awesome. :clap

Nice, I wish I had a Wampa.

Great looking Wampa.

That Wampa looks cool - nice setup!

Thanks guys :hi5:

Here, some closer look:

Looks great and I love that you live in Finland and did some Hoth customs - close to the real Hoth.

What did you use for the ice effect on Luke?
 
I??[emoji769]m not a fan of that sculpt but a paint job might be an improvement. I used the DX sculpt on mine.

I did try the DX hairsculpt on the original sculpt and it is an improvement I think.

I still wanted to be able to use the PERS system so the magnet solution seemed like the best bet. Trimmed out the inside of the hat enough for the forehead to fit inside.

I also glued the strap a bit more together and overlapping so it would be tighter to the chin.

I never liked the snaps on the vest or the pants because it looked like they were always busting to get open so I removed the snaps and added Velcro discs and I am much happier with the way it turned out.

I should also mention that I swapped the body with a DX Luke body to make everything easier on the head swap and body proportions. Also the DX ankle pegs fit nicely into the sideshow boots.

Bumping this thread with my mods for a fellow freak interested in undertaking it and making easier to find.

I'm currently in the process of changing up my display, so I decided to switch up poses on some of my older figures. Hopefully HT will upgrade these 2 figures soon!

I personally hope HT will focus on something else since these two are pretty good already ;-)
 
Looking at the weather outside, it's looking very Hoth-like out there!
Thought it would be a good time to revisit this classic SSC figure...

I still really enjoy this figure. No hurry for an HT redux here.

I wouldn?t mind a HT Hoth Han if they did a brown coat since I picked up sideshows blue coat version. But a HT Hoth Luke would have to be spectacular for me to upgrade.

Yeah, just awesome pics, JB. 1/6 figs out in real snow have to be the coolest 1/6 pics there are.
 
I really hope HT tackles these Hoth figures some day. I came close to rebuying Han a couple months ago for $300, but couldn't bring myself to do it since the figure still barely looks worth the $200 it originally cost. Lol
