Luke still looks funny to me, but the picture wasn't very clear so I think that may be it. Some shots he looked better than others. I'm really excited about these now. Price may knock them out of my range though.
 
Looks like I will have to wait till I get home to watch the Sideshow TV, but thanks for the first set of screen grabs (can't see the second set at work)! Kudos to SS for including the helmets, grappling hook, and commlink! The detailing looks pretty nice on the helmets!
 
Fantastic! I was really on the fence and was feeling extreme guilt that I was even considering them. But now it's a sure thing! The interior helmets and the comlink/grappling hook sold me!

**Sigh** This just means they're going to charge a mint! Over $200 easy.

Now I'm worried about the edition size. Do they just divy up the edition sizes for attendees and non-attendees? They wouldn't sell out the entire run with just attendees, would they? Is there a difference in the actual figures, i.e. do the attendee versions have exclusive pieces to them? Or is the only difference in that the attendees will pick them up personally and have them in hand sooner?
 
I dig them but I am not sure how the eyes, the color doesn't look very defined, maybe it is just the screen shots and poor resolution.

Yes. No. No. Yes.

:D
 
Actually if an item goes nuts and sellsout more than expected they usually up the ES like they did with SIM.

I love Han but Luke still looks like there is a space slug stuck in his cave. Either way I'll be buying because the detailed Stormtrooper helms really sell it and push it over the edge.
 
All i know is that is that Han head is THE perfect replacement for my Bespin Han!

That's my plan for sure...I even did a little mock-up way back on page 39 of this thread to show how it might look! :rock

Here's a little quick 'photoshop trickery' of what I mean. Hard to make it look good with such a small, cropped thumbnail, but you get the idea! :rock

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this or not but I would think that the detailed interior of the helmet is definitely a nod to Hurricane. Would SS have thought of that if it wasn't for Hurricane's greatness and his reveal and detailed Vader helmets all over the place.
 
These definitely go above and beyond, I guess some might also want wearable helmets, but the interior build up is so much better. And the naysayers that thought they wouldn't get Luke's belt right either...

Definitely going to be the exclusive to get this year.
