Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[cbr600guy]

This figure is making me depressed by waiting so long for it.

 

[j14]

So....when do we find out if the release date is August or October?

 

[pixletwin]

Its October folks. Sheesh.

Yulli sculpting an Empire Strikes Back Han with Bespin and Hoth clothes, please. Like Luke, two different head sculpts and bodies so you get two figures for 300 smackers.

sculpt 1:

sculpt 2, for Flosi :

I never thought I would be praying for a $300 figure, but like Luke, if they could do a double Han with a nice accessory for 300 I think I would begin to become a trueblue HT fanboy.

HT catalog still says AUG. but SS says OCT. so that's what i'm going with since that's where my order is. But they may move it up to sept. (but doubt it) It happened before with Black SM.

Cut to the chase, word boy.

October!!!!

But HT catalog says AUG!

 

[Niceman]

it would be hilarious if you can actually attach the EX head onto the body

I want to find a Darth Vader body I can put it on, or a ROTJ Luke all in black. How amazing would that be?

That would be the coolest figure in the history of the human race!!

"Exclusive version " October, but in HK and JP, in USA December, who knows how much it will continue delay.

 

[OSCORP]

My bad HT has updated their catalog to OCT. That could mean NOV. easily for USA.

 

[FLOSI]

That will mean Nov unless SS gets their shippment first like they did with Indy.

I'm afraid you are probably correct, when Hot Toys releases products they tend to come out a full month in Asia before they are released in the US. I don't know how Sideshow's leasing this license to Hot Toys affects the shipping out of this figure but doubt it will make a big difference.

I still think this is a steal at $300 for two complete figures and a pretty neat display stand. I'm still trying to find a way to buy two sets to make a Dagobah Luke using the Hasbro Yoda backpack with Sideshow Yoda on his back and Hoth Battle Damaged version.

Some will be splitting their sets, so you should be able to grab a third figure.

 

[OSCORP]

Yeah Hope SS gets a quick shipment. The wait for a finally decent Luke is agonizing! (and it's a great deal)

but how cool will it be if we can attach the vader/luke head to the NEW Vader coming out soon???

 

[MidnightClad]

I am hoping they add that feature to it but I am not holding my breath. Modding it to be a head is always a possibilitie though.

I would have no use for such a feature and I can't imagine why anyone else would want to put that head on Luke.

I'm torn between putting it on a Vader and putting it on a ROTJ black costumed Luke.

 

[Matt S]

No reason to have the luke/vader head be able to attach to the neck of luke - that makes no sense at all
