Why can't anyone do a decent Luke?

SS seemed to have pulled it of.......
















IN 2006!!!!! Then failed on the last two attempts. Hopefully their X-wing Luke is great.

Hot Toys you're our only hope!
 
I still think the underlying sculpts on ESB and ANH are great... just let down by poor paint work.

This has nice paint... a little washed out looking, but still close to HT quality. But looks nothing like Hamill, and add in rubber boots to such an overpriced figure and its really hard to take it seriously :huh
 
I know the price point on this figure sucks ass and the fact that it's a Luke figure. But as far as the portrait and the outfit goes, I really do think they got the portrait dead on, and the outfit is fine I guess.. But then, I never really liked any of the Luke outfits except for maybe Jedi Luke so.. The wrists joints are definitely a disappointment!

With the portrait, I think the problem might be is that Luke looked quite different in ANH vs Empire.. He aged some bit between those two movies. And then he really aged in Jedi. I don't know what kind of drugs hamill was on, or if he just partied with cigarette and alcohol, but he got older really quick.

But you guys are expecting Luke to look like he did in those last two films and that's not what he looked like a ANH. He looked very different and very much like the Medi/Enter portrait. So lets focus on the real reason why this figure sucks, the Price!

I think you might need glasses my friend.

I think most people are fully aware that he looks different from film to film but he never looked like a 15 year old girl. I just want him to look like this, or at least close to it:

I'm surprised you didn't know about his car accident. From Wikipedia:
Car accident

On January 11, 1977, one day before he was set to shoot one of the final scenes needed for Star Wars, Hamill was in a car accident in which he fractured his nose and left cheekbone.[4] According to Star Wars producer Gary Kurtz, Hamill was in surgery from 9 AM until 4 PM. As a result of the accident, a double was used for the landspeeder pickup shots.[5]

And no, this sculpt doesn't really look like Luke in ANH and I don't think anyone said that this Medi sculpt should look like Luke in ESB or ROTJ, just that those two Sideshow sculpts are closer to Luke (in their respective movies) than this one is.
 
the realism of the sculpt looks nice, except it looks nothing like hamill. So enterbay is responsible for this HS? not to make excuses for them or anything but its really hard to believe they can't even produce a HS that at least resembles hamill is just bizarr in this day and age. Very disappointed.
 
This figure looks like it was in a car accident. Why don't they just sell the electronic lightsaber!?! They'd make millions!

Agreed... if a company just made these I know I'd buy them to replace the current sabers. Even though in general I'm fine with the Sideshow lightsabers.
 
It seems like I can never get everything I want out of a 1/6 figure. So now I have to buy a $300 figure for the body and proper head size, then spend 60 to $100 for the sideshow to get the boots and other accessories that this one is lacking and repaint the face to make him look less like a girl? WTFrack! It seems like I'm constantly having to customize these things to make them screen accurate. Maybe we should start our own company, get the licenses, and show them all what these figures should look like and what should come with them! Who's with me! Anyone... Bueler?

I'd be careful with that plan... good chance that Luke is even shorter than you'd like him to be. You'd probably be better off locating the Stormtrooper head, investing in a repaint and putting it on the Sideshow figure with a better body.

I think the only thing cool about this figure is the lightsaber, and honestly the light effect is not as good as some of the customs I've seen.

At this point, it may be cheaper to rent Mark Hamill. ;)

Although I don't care if the sculpt looks like Mark Hamill or not, it looks more to me like Martin Short than Mark Hamill.

Still, I think it is a great representation of Luke and If I collected Medicom, I would buy it.
 
The paint apps are amazing. There is some likeness in regards to the potrait...I'l agree trevor's sculpt was amazing, ssc paint apps killed the likeness. If only we could get trevor to sculpt the head and hand over the paint app to enterbay or HT. That will be an ultimate Luke that might be worth the money.
 
Agreed, extremely amazing paintjob, the sculpt looks phenomenal also. The problem is that it doesn't look like mark Hamill at all.
Impressive sculpt tho, very detailed.
