Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[devilof76]

I'm still excited for it, but I converted to FlexPay so I won't even get it until December.

I will bide my time watching the guinea pigs squirm.

What happens to HT prototypes? Do they get sold?

 

[pixletwin]

They probably just archive them.

Yeah into Howard's personal collection

It won't show them though will it? Cause most people will ***** and moan but ultimately still go through with the order, so by then HT don't care, they have their money.

I don't know about that. I could see mass cancellations if these photos are representative of what we're getting. I have no problem losing a measley $30.00 to save over $300.00 w/shipping and duty if I won't be happy with the product. It'll suck, though, as I was really amped about this version of Luke.

I take it you're in the market to buy these prototypes?

Just out of curiousity, devil, if the pics are accurate, are you really cool with spending $300.00 on those sculpts and tailoring? I can see a bit of a drop being OK from what is essentially a custom to mass produced but what I'm seeing so far in these photos is a QC fail of epic proportions.

I'd rather pay thousands for a decent looking prototype, yes; than $300 on this pile of ****, what were they thinking? This line is being watched so closely. To me it looks like a sideshow sculpt and paint job, not worthy of Hot Toys!

It's just too small
but I really Don't know who futz this figures SO BAD

Eh, I don't know if SSC tailoring is that bad, to be honest. It reminds me of Barbie level clothing.

Yeah, too small and too dark, unfortunately.

I am pretty sure that is an old picture.

 

[MarfMaster]

I am pretty sure that is an old picture.

Can't be that old since it features the box.

 

[SwedishHeat]

I am pretty sure that is an old picture.

What Marf said.

I'm pretty sure that's the set up that Fujjjjjiiiiizzzzz took the close-ups from.

 

[pixletwin]

I am pretty sure that is a new picture.

 

[MarfMaster]

At least we know he'll look good under poorly lit conditions from a distance of at least 5 feet!

 

[MidnightClad]

The pictures are a little off but I will wait to give judgment on this figure until when it is on my shelf at home.

 

[Invictus Sol]

I actually need to like something before it goes on the shelf. *shrugs*

I think Barbie tailoring is better even and yes sideshows clothing is usually pretty damn cool!

 

[Cap'n Cook]

I am pretty sure that is an old picture.

It's actually brand new. But still too **** to help shape a judgement.

 

[Tee-Kay]

At least we know he'll look good under poorly lit conditions from a distance of at least 5 feet!

Exactly the setup i was going for. Guess i'm safe and can keep my pre-order in then.

 

[siquisiri]

f-uped sculpt or not, peeps will buy it. Look at indy.
