Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[Darth Con]

What.......... Is............ Going............... On.......... Here?!

This is what i wake up to?

I seriously hope this is some kind of joke or very very very poor photography skills, cause if this is what i am paying $300+ for......... Then im out.

Hot toys is down spiralling and im not wasting anymore money on their crap if this is the **** they are gonna start pulling!

Sick of all this excellent proto work, anticipation, high prices, then they go changing materials and sculpts and screw us over and make the product half what it should be.

And i dont give two ****s about factory mass production being an excuse for different quality or paint apps, what you show us is what you must give us!!

Luke Bespin was the absolute most anticipated for me and im extremely pissed right now!

**** you hot toys! Your heads have gotten too big! Think its time for someone to knock you off your pedestal!

This **** better be some really crap photography.

when concerning a sculpt from Hot Toys, the bad photo slant doesn't give me a lot of confidence. were there any bad photos of Burton's Joker?

what is SST's policy of returning deposits? i didn't put a deposit down on what i saw today… i put a deposit on what i have been seeing up until today.

After thought, those pictures just seem suspect to me. After all the delays to come out and pull a Sideshow on us just doesn't jive. Something seems off in those photos (photoshop? i'm no expert) especially the sabers.

 

[kl241]

The pics, however bad, don't lie. Tailoring sucks. Likeness sucks. PERS sucks.

 

[Bustajesse]

I always thought this figure looked like junk, especially the regular sculpt. Looks like they really stepped back on the paint quality. I am glad I never had this thing on order and I am sorry to those of you who are going to be stuck with it, I am hoping it looks better in person since I know a lot of you guys have been really looking forward to this.

 

[OSCORP]

I dunno. Looks like a knock off version to me.

That's what i'm thinking. And the saber in the pics looks Photoshopped. Also if there's a set of overseas pics, more should be out there and there's not. Nothing about folks on ebay overseas having him in hand. Something aint adding up here kids.

 

[kl241]

And where is this alleged knock-off? eBay? Is it 1:6 the price? I'll take one.

 

[OSCORP]

I would actually eat the Deposit if it looked like that. More pics to determine. GO FOLKS! (THEY GOTTA BE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.)

 

[spindrift]

Well HT /SS need to come out now and SQUASH this if these are fakes................

 

[Ausfan]

Sounds like they are following Sideshow's model then...

1) Great proto
2) Everyone rejoices
3) Long-*** wait
4) Everyone is bored
5) Unflattering production pics
6) Everyone freaks out!
7) Looks better in-hand
8) Most everyone (except Rorywan) is content

Rinse and repeat...

Great post!

Wow......crappy pics. I been spot checking the thread all day on iPhone unfortunately, Mac didn't help the pics look any better. HT better get this to OMG fast to try and recover

me too. I have until OCT 20 to make up my mind, so I hope to see more photos. I could use the $180 I already put into this.

 

[TheFiend]

Honestly, I know everyone love OMG,myself included, but I really doubt his pics are going to make this figure look any better. His pics really have a very "produced" quality to them. The figures usually look better than in hand BUT where Indy was concerned, I think he looked worse in his pics than he does on my shelf. The guyliner is going to look facking atrocious in his pics. No, just regular old in hand clear pics will do.

 

[Darkseed]

If it is recoverable................

I'll keep the faith (misguided as it may be).

 

[pjam]

The pics, however bad, don't lie. Tailoring sucks. Likeness sucks. PERS sucks.

Looks like HT will be installing suicide nets if OMG can't make this figure look good. Either way, it looks cheaply made for $300

EB will laughing all the way to the 1/4 scale bank.

 

[DeadLeaves]

I must say those pics are dissapointing, but haven't we all been here before? I still really want a Luke on the shelf.

 

[CaptnRex]

Sideshow are charging on the 17th yeah? I hope there's some better pics real soon. Might have to let my $30 deposit go.

Hopefully they're just really bad pics.

 

[lerath666]

... wow.. i had no idea hot toys was making an aston kutcher figure. So when do we get to see production pictures of Luke?

all teasing aside, i'd like to see more pictures.
Taken by someone else.
