Personally, I find the Jedi Luke to be the closest likeness to Mark Hamill. bEven closer than this HT DX version. I know a lot of people hate the expression, but I am OK with it.
 
Sideshow still controls this. No coincidence this is a figure ssc has already done and sold all they are going to sell of him. That's why it wasn't an xwing Luke or droids. Having said that...maybe ssc will let ht have a go at chewy since they have had problems with him

That's a valid point... don't know if its true, but it makes sense.
 
The SS Indy sculpt is fine, just buried under a crappy paint job. Look at the repainted ones, looks better than the HT effort.

No amount of repainting can address the texture of the skin. That is what makes the new crop of HT figures so life like IMHO.

I agree that plays a big role, but I think the paint is more important. Give a sculpt all the texture you want, if the paint sucks, it's gonna look bad. Give a sculpt with no texture good paint work, and it can still look pretty damn awesome.
 
But good paint AND skin texture are seriously amazing.

I think that's the next mountain for the re-painters to climb is convincingly adding texture to a head that doesn't have it.

Impossible without recasting imho. That'd might be a cool thing actually... someone RECASTING the trevor SS indy sculpt in the same materials as HT heads.
 
I think its a great sculpt, with a little rework it will be an excellent sculpt. The bridge of the nose seems to be too thin as are the lips. They should be a little more full. Still quite pleased thugh. Definate buy for me.

But two things, because I posted pics of the UU Luke, does that mean I cannot have issues with this?

You are absolutely entitled to your opinion of course. I just found it odd that you would defend the UU sculpt and then turn around and harshly criticize the HT sculpt (across several threads). I agree with the HT sculpt not being 100%, I just don't find it to be the train wreck you seem to think it is.
 
the only pic i saw of the UU Luke that looks decent was this:

He looks sorta OK from the side. When there's no light hitting it. So much win.

HT Luke includes two head sculpts that both kick the sh-- out of this. The BD is a near dead-on for Hamill and the non-BD is still pretty good. I see more of MH's face when looking at the non-bd face from most angles that I can on the UU face from ANY angle.

And it will be at least 50 bucks cheaper.
 
That really is a terrible likeness isn't it. What were they thinking?
