ANH Luke

[IrishJedi]

So I'm now the only person not 100% satisfied with this figure?

Of course not. That hair and tunic are still foul. At least in the pics.

That's really difficult to say - I count perhaps 3 people that have it already?

I anticipate not being 100% satisfied because from the pictures presented here the hair appears like it might be darker than I would like. Until I actually get the figure I just can't make any judgement about that.

Well it just sounded for a minute there like everyone had suddenly changed their mind and that I was being singled out for still not being convinced. I will of course reserve final judgement until I have it in hand, but that hair bothers me.

Looks good so far. Have the feeling like many of you water treating the outfit will go A LONG way to making him go from good to great. Wish they could paint his hair lighter but with all these in hand I'm sure it'll look better. Heck, first pictures of Han I was cursing Sideshow and then when I received him I was praising Sideshow. Find out soon enough either way I need him for ANH display and can't wait to replace Yavin Luke for this.

Re: Official SS 1:6 ANH Luke Skywalker Photo Thread

good pics, guys!!

I got my copy this evening and I'm really satisfied with the figure. The shoes and wrappings are so very cool and the paint is really clean and nicely done. In my opinion it's better than Han in that respect. The hair isn't really an issue in person, and I think the color works when you see him next to Ben and Han.
I can't argue that the initial prototype tunic was so great that this does feel like a step down...but I can't say that it bothers me. I really dig the figure overall. I'll be anxious to see the water treated look.

It was surreal to see these three Star Wars figures together (Ben, Han and Luke). I can't even imagine what "10 year old me" would have said if I were told I would have been a part of these. It really made me feel nostalgic (yeah, even at my age)

Well done, Sideshow!

Maybe Sideshow should start putting a disclaimer on their 1:6 figure packages:

"Just Add Water Treatment".

It's very cool that so many figures from one film represent you as an artist in our collections. Andy gave us Anakin and Obi-Wan at a pivotal time in their lives, and thanks to you we now have some great representations of the male heroes as we first saw them.

Nice shots, Gruff...especially the second one...

Nice shots indeed.

So Gruff, what do you think of him???

Trev, you are livin' the dream, man! And well deserved. We're ALL lucky to have you onboard.

Here's the Big Three. I tried to do a little water treatment on the tunic, but it's going to take more then once to get it right.

Doesnt look much like luke to me. Han looks way better

Likeness is fine but that tunic.

Re: Official SS 1:6 ANH Luke Skywalker Photo Thread

Yeah. The color should be closer to Leia's dress and the material is a little too course. Needs more water treatment. It's a quality figure for sure but I think Jedi and Bespin Luke capture Mark Hamill better.

Does the water treatment even effect the material? I know it had zero impact on Leia's dress. I hope this tunic isn't some weird poly-blend.

 

[dharper]

Re: Official SS 1:6 ANH Luke Skywalker Photo Thread

It's having some effect on the tunic, the material isn't shiny like Leia's dress. I'm not that great at water treatment so it might take some effort to get it right.

Re: Official SS 1:6 ANH Luke Skywalker Photo Thread

Looks like someone needs to make a pattern of it and use the correct material I'm sure any local fabric shop has, except ones in china.

Great picture. Just throw Ben behind them, get Chewie beside Han and throw the droids next to Leia and it will be the greatest assemblage of 1/6 scale figures EVAR!!

Now you're talkin'. Let me know when those are ready...

Re: Official SS 1:6 ANH Luke Skywalker Photo Thread

Dare I say this, but is Hasbro's old tunic, the one that was kinda close materialwise, would it be a decent replacement??? (Ducks while the others throw stuff...)

And for what it's worth, I think he looks pretty good. Can't wait for mine. Must paint him and Han some day....set of three looks great though.
