Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[Mr.Tanker]

Call me crazy, but I would be happy with the one on the left. I actually see more of an ESB likeness than the original prototype pics.

^^ You're so crazy!

Much prefer the proto. Don't see Hamill in that, myself. I mean, I can tell who it's supposed to be, but... Dang, we need some new photos.

It's the same crappy photo with the contrast turned up!

 

[Invictus Sol]

Sure highlights the coarseness of that fabric!

But seriously, I think you shed a little more light on things. I personally think that's probably the production piece in that shot.
And the usual suspects didn't get Batman until the day before release, so I don't think it's that weird that we haven't seen any pics from them yet.

I really hope so, however it may also be another proto-type version dressed in the new attire, which I feel may be more accurate. Given the big original delay and the original not so good feedback of the original clean sculpt. This may be simply a new face sculpt prototype, they have dressed up for the photo shoot.

Here are my points; (1) we know HT is watching this forum as well as other forums. They know there is alot of negative feeback, hence the removal of the store display.
If the final product was as good as either the proto type or the recent publicity pic, why not respond too the criticism with new product pics??

Here we go again (2), as others have mentioned the lack of pics and communication is very reminiscent of the Indy DX situation.

(3) None of the usual suspects have received their Bespin luke for a review....very suspect.

I really feel the final product is and will be sub-par too the original advertised proto or otherwise. Even if we did not get pics would they not rush a new "true" production version luke to the frontline of this mess, the HT japan store to put all worries to rest within the fandom. Even more so, if they have invested in an essentially open ended edition, with presumably thousands already produced, its alot of money too lose if this figure tanks...something really stinks here.

All things are pointing for me towards fear and greed on HT side, and they are cowering in a corner hoping this does not blow up in their faces.

I really hope I'm wrong!! but if you look at what has transgressed over the last week, I think you all will agree, nothing is adding up currently to a happy outcome.

It'd be pretty shocking if HT really took a prototype figure, dressed it in different clothing, and used what appears to be a production base just for that one shot.

Been saying that since the beginning.

 

[Mr.Tanker]

I actually just tried to compensate for the ****y photo. I color corrected it and adjusted the hair a bit. It must all come off in one piece for the PERS and that one doesn't look like it was put back in place correctly, hence the ear lobes showing, and giving his head a slightly oblong look.

Man this figure is going to kick ass!!!!

 

[Invictus Sol]

Where the hell is that optimisim coming from? Love how everyone's talking themselves into loving these photos, now.

This would probably be the first time the SW thread has been going off...unlike say,the DC and Marvel threads..

It is pretty civil talk here..say,unlike the Marvel and DC threads "sometimes"....

 

[Solarsailor]

Everyone seems pretty normal. Just chatting about a figure that'll be shipped in a week that we have no idea what it looks like.....

It's like x-mas when you were 25. All that excitement and anticipation for yet another bag of shower gel....
