Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[budafett]

Got my notice tonight! Thursday for me. Only have to be gone for about 2 hours that day so chances are I will be home to sign for it.

You say that now!

I don't remember one.

I didn't either, but I'm sure I saw one in the Tamashii thread. I wonder what it was.

The thing is though, is that R2's dome really is more of a silver/brushed metal and not quite a chromed or VAC metal look.

Yes. But, I like how the old Kenner figure looked. I wouldn't want a chromed R2 as my official 1:6 R2, but it would be cool to have one anyway.

I know. I thought about that and with my luck, that's exactly when UPS will show up. I may have to skip my 1 hour class. Gotta have priorities.

i never had plans to sell one and keep the other... having them in hand only confirms as to just how cool it is having both renditions. i really get how Hot Toys deemed this worthy... even side by side, the "before and after vibe" works tremendously.

Got my notice earlier this afternoon. Tuesday delivery for me!

 

[DarthTrafford]

I got my shipping notice,he'll be here on Thursday along with my new DX Dark Knight/Bruce Wayne!

I'm just praying this stupid hurricane doesn't delay it!

I've had some issue with the magnets in the Luke heads - in both instances the magnet broke off from the glue and was attached to the metal plate on the hair-piece. Then I super-glued the magnets back in place, waited a few hours and re-attached only to find the magnet pulled the metal plate off one of the hair-pieces.

Needless to say, be careful of the glued parts on this one.

Otherwise, this figure is downright super-grail bags of awesome.

That seems to be a reoccurring problem with many HT magnets...I've seen the same thing on some of my IM helmets

True. I know that HT seems to be using neo-magnets and those are pretty strong. I use them on miniatures to hold them onto the sides of metal toolboxes. With Luke's hair coming over the head itself, it almost doesn't even really need the magnet, since it fits pretty snug.

Finally got the shipping notice late this evening. Should be here on Thursday.

Has anyone measured how long the weather vain is from top to bottom? I was hoping it would fit into an IKEA Besta. It doesn't look like it will from the pics.

 

[Chakaman]

Keep the pics coming guys, good stuff. Mine gets here Monday, this might be the first time ever I wish tomorrow was Monday.

 

[2ndname]

Received mine today. Static generic poses inside their plastic coffins as of right now. Great figures for the price, 2 for 1...can't pass up on that. Just need HT Vader!

I think they said 28 inches ...

 

[plasmid303]

Ha! Just checked my email and noticed I got a shipping earlier today. Will be here Monday! AWESOME.

I ordered my EX last Sunday, btw.

 

[King Darkness]

Damn, there has been a ton of great shots over the last couple days.

Monday can't get here soon enough

 

[King Darkness]

That's gotta be the greatest exclusive item ever included in a figure in the history of ever!

Badass shots Coco and Gb

 

[plasmid303]

Anyone gonna try doing a diorama revolving around just that Exclusive? That'd be cool.
