Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[Invictus Sol]

Me too... probably the only other environment besides the Cantina that I'd need.

 

[MidnightClad]

Far enough.

Some updated pics would be nice!

Cant be sooner in my book wish I had him in hand right now.

I almost forgot about this guy.

How could you do that?
That's impossible

Yeah.. how can you forget about this milestone figure - at all.

 

[Batty]

I would love to see this under the "Coming in the Next 30 Days" header in today's NL.




Probably won't happen.

I would love to see that but I still think HT isn't building a figure at all. They just made a proto handed out the pictures and are watching the cash pile up LOL.

 

[FLOSI]

Yawn -- is this thing ever coming out?

Jesus... At least buy a fella a drink first.

 

[OSCORP]

Only thing i have on preorder.

Consensus on pre battle head tweakage, being a possibility at this point guys??

 

[DeadLeaves]

Anythings possible. I like the HS as it is now, any improvements or additions to the set wouldn't upset me though.

 

[Glennfett]

i didn't see it in the newsletter coming in the next 30 days. The sideshow rep italked too that it is still scheduled for next month,bar any HT updates...

 

[FLOSI]

Really, this wait is full on silly.... May? August? October???? Holy crap.

As I've said before, I hope not. Totally disagree with those that think it needs to be tweaked. Looks like a fantastic Hamill/Skywalker to me. Hard to see how tweaking it would look any better and not maybe detract from what they already have. Just leave the dang thing alone and release it already!

Dang, that's too bad. Would've been nice to get that confirmation. Still, glad the rep semi-confirmed October. Really looking forward to having this set in-hand.

Agreed.

Sometimes fiddling does make things worse - sure, but there's definite room for improvement with this sculpt.

It just doesn't look like Hamill from that period enough yet - it's too pre-accident at this point.

What was the original release month for this figure?
Was it delayed along the same lines of the Sucker Punch girls were?
Has it been delayed yet or just no info on it since it was announced
and shown at SDCC,and that's why every one is anxious?

I get your point and any tweaks to perfect likeness would be alright with me, though I'm totally content with the current sculpt. For me, it captures Luke 100%.

My anxiousness is in jest (I'd like to have it, sure, but the wait really is not bugging me), but like FLOSI says, the original release when we pre-ordered was May. Then pushed back to August and then subsequently October. My final payment is still listed as October 5th, but since it wasn't listed as shipping in 30 days in yesterday's SSC e.mail, I'm guessing this will be a late October ship, supposing we do get it next month.

Also, I guess there is some question as to why Hot Toys has not displayed it since, what, last year's SDCC? Seems a really long time not to have displayed the piece given all the opportunities since then. Have to admit that does make me wonder a bit.

 

[Glennfett]

I'm sure they had it up for display in HK after SDCC....
but no pics since then,not even at the Asian Toy fairs recently.
I knew this would happen once the TDKR and Avengers hit..
