Han and Luke as Stormtroopers - SDCC '09

Not bad, i wish they all looked like that. Still, one shouldn't have to roll the dice and get lucky.

I would love a shot at repainting these bad boys!

Got mine and they're really nice. I really lucked out in that #1 they had good paint apps and #2 that when I "futured" my Stormtroopers, it was to the same shine as their armor so they fit in well. I boiled their chest armor to fit a little snugger and they look much better.

My biggest gripe is the limbs - they are terrible to the point that I'm thinking about writing SSC to as for replacement bodies. They can't stand on their own and the armor renders the waist-held stands useless. If this was the first armor body, I'd throw them a bone, but we're a few bodies in and this is getting old.

Glad you like the good stuff about them.

I have to agree, if I were more into armored characters I would dislike the way the armor fits.

I really like them a lot. I know my post may not have come across that way... it's just the bodies

 

[Wor-Gar]

Certainly is a big discrepancy between the 'luck of the draw'.

Well kids, I got brave and here is what a lot of us wanted to see:

Nice one Glennfett that Luke looks good, how much in $AU did they end up costing you? If you don't mind me asking, Casrfresh is asking a crazy amount

What an incredible improvement!

Hard to tell with the flash. But Han for sure look miles better.

Luke looks good but Han looks fantastic. That's such a nice sculpt and captures his snarky smirk really well.

Yea.. they are quick and dirty shots. I like them a lot but the Luke is the winner for me.

Looks great, Memnoch. Are those narrow shoulder true types or the regular true types? It is amazing how much nicer the clothing fits on those bodies compared to the buck. How does the skin tone of the head match the body? Could you take a few pics without the flash?

Believe it or not.. Luke is a Pro, Han is on an old outdated TrueType waiting for a narrow shoulder TT. Hans skin is off to the body, and will be when he goes on the new one. Luke actually looks pretty close. Ill try and take some non flash pictures shortly, not sure how well they will come out as it's fairly shadowed where they are

Anyone figure out how to shorten the barbell safely on the stormy body?

 

[zeiss]

Hmm, maybe I will use a pro body then. I wonder if Han would also look good on a pro. Is it from Indiana Jones or another figure?

Yep, Luke is on the one that came with Indy, but it's really too short for Han. Perfect for Luke though. Here are two pictures, sans flash.

They look really good. Did you do a repaint, or did you get a really nice paint job?
