Enterbay x Medicom Ultimate Unison ANH 1/6 Luke Skywalker

[galactiboy]

Believe it or not the Hasbro tunic is actually pretty good... I found the material was nicer than the Sideshow one and once you remove the odd elastic banding it fits quite well.

Here's a few of my Lukes. I swapped the body out for a TT slim. The body looks great and the head pops right on. The outfit is SS.

Is that a repainted Unison head or somethig else?

Sure doesnt look like the Unison figure.

 

[jedijim3002]

No that's the ANH SS Luke with the neck cut off, repainted, and put on a HT or pro neck.

Looks much, much better. Repaint worked wonders on that head.

Indeed it did!

Thanks guys, Trevor nailed the sculpt... just another case of poor paint apps ruining what should have been an awesome figure.

Thanks for the assist... you got it 100% right

Hey GB, is that the 100th Hasbro Luke tunic?
It does look really nice...

Just saw this pic posted over on the HT Luke thread.

Looks like the UU Luke hair on the HT head.

Yeah, that's what I did. Pried off the UU lid and lightened the color. I'm torn on it though. I like it on one level, but I'm not sure if I'm being objective. I WANT to love the combo, but the ANH sculpt is good with a repaint (as gb proved), and the Stormtrooper sculpt is great too. I, like you jj, am a big fan of the Luke character. My focus is from the first movie and somehow, someday I want dead-nuts versions of all 4 outfits. I keep trying to mix and match to get one I love, maybe even be my personal grail piece. Farmboy Luke screams Star Wars to me. You could have this figure with one foot on a dirt hill and 2 suns in the background and you'd never need another SW collectible. You'd think with bits from SS, Enterbay, and HT you could get something to work. I like the above figures alot, but I don't love them yet.

 

[jedijim3002]

I hear ya bro. What did you do with the UU heads? And did you buy them just for that reason? How much did you spend on them. I got my first one for $208.00 shipped off eBay. My second I just got for $110.00 shipped on eBay as well. I need one more head for my Stormtrooper custom. I tried molding and casting the head but my painting skills are not great.
Here's what I have so far.

 

[jedijim3002]

I think the head sculpt is good on this one but what throws it off is the skinny neck. If I could put it on a thicker neck and maybe change the hair a bit I'd be in business.

I think I still have both the hairless heads down there somewhere. I haven't really decided yet what their fate might be. If I warm up to the look now, I may just chuck them. However, if I can't get past whatever it is that's off, I may just put the hair back on the UU head and use him for my Ceremony Luke. The first one I got I intended to keep him in tact actually. It's a solid figure. I love the body. It gives him that skinny, late teen look. The pants and boots were always going to go. The belt isn't great either compared to SS. The likeness isn't quite Hamill, but it's Luke all day long. Retail was/is pricey. I got them both at like $190 shipped ea. Still over what I'd prefer to pay, but we all have our preferences, limits etc....Then I started trying to build my ultimate Luke. The second one was bought more for consistency. I certainly didn't intend to pay that kinda dough for a wig alone. It's just how it turned out. At the end of the day, the body, tunic, head, and light up saber (which has been overlooked in alot of the pics in this thread) make me not regret spending the money, despite the fact the figure as it came from the factory, isn't in my collection anymore. Will people question how I can call it solid while saying half the gear could be replaced? Sure. But who ISN'T tweaking their factory figures? ANH Vader came out years ago, and it's at the top daily. New body, new cape, new tunic, new dome. All mods. I think there were 5 or 6 Boba threads at one point....with people making changes to an "expensive" figure to make it better. So yes, I think the Luke effort was a good one, sure as heck better than Jedi Han. I can't find ANY redeeming qualities in that thing.

Yeah, I can see a little of that in there. Is that the dude from Megaforce?

Yes it's Michael Beck. Dallas in Megaforce.

 

[jedijim3002]

Trust me bro I'm not judging. I was simply asking in case you wanted to sell the heads from UU. Or even one. I'd take both if you wanted to sell. Keep me in mind please.

I spend my money how I want to. I don't have to answer to anyone on where my money goes. You shouldn't have to either. No explanation necessary. I like this figure simply because of the head/likeness. The saber is cool too but for me its all about keeping all Luke's from each movie consistent.

The SS Stormtrooper Luke head I thought was their best effort but I still didn't like it because of the size of the head and stupid look on his face.

 

[jedijim3002]

Even without the hair I'd take one or both.

 

[Keenan]

Got my Luke today. Really looking forward to getting some Dio pics with the Tusken Raiders I got also.
