Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

Is it wrong to say, the more I look at it the better it gets

I think it's looking more like Hamill - just needs a better paint job which I hope will be revealed in better pics.

Sorry, I think that pic is a photoshop blending of a proto pic and one of the "bad" pics (hence the weird eyes - I think there are two sets in there.)

Maybe that's why it's looking more like Hamill.

Yeah it is! The member who posted it was trying to prove or otherwise that the new pics were still the same original sculpt.

Hehe, I'm aware of that - was referring to the original "bad" pics.

DOn't feel bad, you me and like one other person feel the same. The new pics are bad but in that one pic I actually think it looks more like Hamill. But I never thought the proto "clean" sculpt ever looked like him. Not even a little bit. It was way too....pretty?

Yes, I'm hoping for a result somewhere between the prototype and the bad pics!

This thread really needs the "Hitler see's Bespin Luke proto pics" video.

I need a laugh.

 

[Shropt]

I say we quit bumping this thread unless we are posting new inhand pics. What say everyone?

Well, I guess if you agree just say nothing.

[Darth_IMPoor]

I say someone posts more awful pics. This things petering out. What will I look at and laugh about all day at work? (shhhhh)

NEW PIX!!!

At least with this release pictured above, if you don't like the headsculpt, you can pop it off and hide it in one of the chest pockets.

 

[Solarsailor]

Not the same sculpt. His left nostril is not flared out far enough.

Can't get my eyes off those chest buttons.

At least he has sensible shoes.

Having done a little photography. His picture is in focus and not greatly over exposed, you can tell by looking at the detail on the shirt. He also has a nice bit of warmth in the picture which you wouldn't get from a large light source. Basically, it's not a bad capture, not great but not bad. Thing is whatever he used is not great. Looks like it could almost be a smart phone job.

I think it's lit from the bottom up though which could cause some awkward shadows but I'm not seeing that in the pictures.

Anyway , we don't even know what the deal is with this. Could be anything. Most likely there could be up to 2 sheets of glass between him and the piece.

Well, having done a lot of photography, I will be the first one to say that they are not good photos. The equipment only goes so far, I've seen brilliant photos taken with cheap cameras. The right lighting and the ability to get the right shot in the frame is what makes a great photo. One thing's for sure, the guy's no Ansel Adams.

 

[Rook]

Neither was Ansel Adams. He consistently underexposed his images. True story.

 

[Jme_c]

Bad picture, bad photography, bad lighting, all of this is irrelevant because it still doesn't explain the awful sticking, the cheap looking fabric and the cut/fit.

I don't car how amazing the sculpt is if the rest looks ****e!

 

[devilof76]

It's not really 2 figures though. Duplicate body and suit that they just bust up.

A lot of figures come with 2 head sculpts anyway. It's not like there's anything complicated about him, or even that expensive looking for that matter. He doesn't have design head aches like Iron Man or complicated armour like Batman. He's basically action man in a fancy box.

It is two figures, really.

It doesn't matter what it costs them. What are you getting? Two different portraits, two sets of accessories, two costumes, clean and damaged.

How much does it cost you to buy two HT figures? $300?

I'm sorry but I don't usually comment on negative opinions. I have to say I really think we are, that is to say some of us, are jumping to conclusions here. The scientific method would tell us that there are too many variables to make an accurate comparison. Unless you are using the same camera and the same lighting with the same angle you can never truly compare any two pieces of subject matter.

One pic from one camera/cameraman using one subject will always look completely different from another who uses a different camera with different lighting and a different subject. There is no real way to compare. Your eyes may see differences where there is none.

The chin looks longer than in the proto but that could be any number of variables that are too many to list. Unless you have the proto in hand and your figure next to it using the same conditions your CSI hobby is moot.

This is true!
