Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[Mad Old Lu]

Prequel Anakin = Pass.

ESB Han = Instant pre-order, regardless of accessories. But I would easily pay through the nose for a crazy DX version with a Carbonite block.

This. And

This is most likely it. You can count Hoth Han off the table since SS is already doing one. And the only real other option is ANH Smuggler version, but the way SS/HT are digging deep into Empire right now I wouldnt be surprised to see ESB Bepsin Han with Carbonite Block.

Yup! It's been almost 2 years since the HT/Sideshow/SW announcement. Where's mah Han?!?

It seems arnie is now out from HT after the Indy incident.

Out from EB, rejected by HT. entering BW.

Whut? Please explain!

Edit: I see Rez answered what BW means. But is this all true?

Seriously? I don't get it. He was great at doing some actors, but not others. I surely don't blame him alone for Indy. It was really the fault of the guy who was his boss, saw this:

and thought, "let's get that guy do to our official Indy sculpt!" And it isn't like they don't have a whole crew full of sculptors that could have done alternative sculpts.

It's funny, I remember when that and his Han sculpt were the toast of 1/6. They're still very impressive compared to what else was coming out at the time.

 

[bigpig]

This out soon? eek might have to do a creditcard jig!!

I thought it has been his Bruce lee sculpts that put him in the map for the 1/6 world.

 

[pixletwin]

I never heard of him until he made his RotS Anakin.

 

[Wake]

I will say that Arnie Kim's Carlitos Way Pacino sculpt looks beyond amazing. His Superman was pretty good too. Really the poor guy just fudged Indy and HT wouldnt let him fix it OR didnt bother to.

Spoke with SS today about adjusting my last flex payment to get as soon as ready to ship. I was told the 17th was when orders will begin processing. My last payment was scheduled for the 20th so not much time saved. I was under the impression it was shipping in the next 17 days. Anyway I have to call again on the 17th and they will process my order.

 

[FLOSI]

Bespin or ANH, I'm happy either way.

This.

*waits for nam to come tell everyone why the SSC Bespin Luke is the superior Luke*

Nothing for three pages.

The ***** babies have won this round.

 

[MarfMaster]

Hmmm, next week the 17th is not...oh well, we have a date!

It's not even close... The SS version is pretty poor.

 

[bloodgear]

Well I won't be getting Luke and the Tusken Raider shipped together afterall. Penalised for buying two out of four items.

They did put Luke back to the end of the month though.

 

[Jme_c]

Er, excuse me if I am being thick, but do I need to do anything now I have had that e-mail through? It says please verify your details are correct by the 17th, but if they're correct I don't need to do anything, right?

 

[OSCORP]

Did emails go out? Am i missing something?
