Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[darthviper107]

As this will be my first DX with pers...how do you move the eyes on this?soz for the newb Pers question....but i think the eye poses make a difference on the figure.

Usually some part of the head comes off, like a pieces of the hair, and then there's a little joystick type thing inside that you push to rotate the eyes.

Is Hot Toys going to make a Vader? Luke and Vader are the only 2 im getting out of this line.

Also Chew if they make him!

Unlikely at the moment, Sideshow has already said they will be making a new Vader figure themselves sometime next year, so Hot Toys wouldn't be doing one at the earliest for a couple more years. I'd see them doing a Han Solo, Anakin, or Chewbacca figure before Vader.

LOL. $300, seriously?

Quite reasonable really, $150 per figure, both with PERS, two unique stands.

Compare it to Batman DX @ $239.99 and it's very good value to content ratio.

Here is Mark Hamill:

First time I have been able to see the likeness. It is there.

"The lightsaber is unlit. visual Effect Only"

Shouldn't be the way of advertising it then.

For those passing on the EX alter ego has this up for $270

That actually looks different from this one:

Just pre-ordered the exclusive! So STOKED!!!!!!

 

[pixletwin]

The lightsaber will light up. FACT!

.............. How did you come by that info (I know who you work for but I am curious)?

 

[theghostinside]

What? Where is that info at?

I just pre-ordered the EX at SS... used some points towards the purchase. That figure just looks amazing, and the price point is just right IMO for the two figures, dio and all sorts of accessories you will get. I'm excited.

But also with an NRD.

Dang, pulled the trigger on the EX with SS. After RP, the EX becomes the same price at a retailer after discount, so I might as well.

 

[theghostinside]

But also with an NRD.

i think most if not all sites will be doing a nrd due to the price point.

Nathan seems to have deleted it. So I guess it is not so?

I have never been more happy to be wrong about something in my life. I'm very surprised he's $100 less than I was predicting. And SO glad for it!

The EX Vader/Luke head accessory is just amazing. That's the best Hamill likeness out of all three heads. But I'm not saying the others are bad by any means. I wanted to save money and go with AlterEgo on this one, but I just love that EX head too much.

Damn it, and I JUST recorded a podcast yesterday before any of these photos and the preorder went up. Haha. This would have been the centerpiece of the episode, by far. Next time.

That or the fact that AE distributor is SS, so they may require it from ALTER EGO

I'm sort of out of the 1:6th game at this point, but this is mighty tempting. I think I'll hold off for now though, and maybe I'll see if I can pick up half of the set for ~$150 since I really don't have any desire for two.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

It DOESN'T light up, check the blurb under the pics...

"The lightsaber is unlit. visual Effect Only"

Shouldn't be the way of advertising it then.

They really need a Bespin Clouds back drop for this to work
