Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[Matt S]

They need to get rid of PERS - I don't like it as if does throw the likeness off

Tell that to the Indiana Jones sculpt. Wait -- what?

 

[EXOTICLEX]

Release The Skywalker

[Sachiel]

No matter how many times I see it, it always boggles my mind...

Why, Hot Toys?

Just...why?

Oh damn that's hilarious!

 

[swsqueakquels]

I'm excited for this figure because it was my favorite Luke suit in the entire trilogy. Childhood dream come true. When I saw this, I PO'd it immediately. No hesitation. Can't wait.

Release The Skywalker

Release The Skywalker upon my agent for talking me into "Wrath", "Taken 2", "Battleship" etc. etc. etc.

forgot this was pushed back to OCT......

 

[SithThundercracker]

Erm, no they're really not. Subtley different in paint work, yes. But they are the exact same sculpt, minus the PERS.

Vader's mouth still seems wider and more open but that can be paintwork games.
The eyebrow position and the distance between eyebrow and eye, on the contrary, is completely different and that (unless PERS can move eyebrows) means that they're different sculpts.

 

[Jme_c]

It is, has been, and always will be

THE. SAME. DAMN. SCULPT.

(The reason they look different is one has PERS and the other doesn't)

Actually, you're wrong! It is a different sculpt. It has the initial template of the other sculpt, but the expressions have been changed to match that scene in the film. He has frowning eyebrows, lips slightly different , and the eyes.

 

[RIDDICK]

It's still yet another useless Ex

You don't have to yell.

What makes me scratch my head is why the battle damaged sculpt has no likeness issues. PERS isn't hurting that one (the likeness, that is; it still hurts the portrait by being there).

 

[youbastards]

Is this the first time we've ever seen a pic from Hamill's motorcycle accident?

 

[devilof76]

Looks kinda like the exclusive head for the new Joker PF. Just needs to be biting his lip.

 

[bloodgear]

A bigger eyelid might have improved it. Hamill's pupils shouldn't be fully visible. But this isn't Hamill, it's Luke Skywalker. -_-

Yeah, not sure how you display it... very cool looking tho.

It sure beats SSC lando's exclusive accessory... little space rattle/microphone thingie.

 

[Matt S]

Love the EX - one of the best yet......but I am expecting it to be a display piece only......if it ends up being able to attach to the body, I am gonna laugh my *** off

I don't get why they would do that, it was never attached to a body in the movie!

I love the EX though, detail is amazing!

Because sideshow has a new vader coming out and it would be cool to attach it to that or have it laying on the ground be headed

Mine will be going on this little circular base (where some twigs currently are) below Yoda's Hut

And personally I love this exclusive, think about the symbolism and significance of Luke's head inside of Vader's dome. Great bit of foreshadowing and a way to sum up the one of the major conflicts of the OT. What's not to love
