Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

I am pretty sure the Vader head is Medi-size. If someone still has the Medi-Vader and this head it would be an interesting comparison.

I'm just worried, and that all precautions are necessary. I'm also very clumsy, which has me worried when I start displaying them hahaha

Now I am frightened to open Sparrow and Lee haha

No worries! Lots of normal Joes wear gloves when they open/touch their figures. This guy, for example:

That guy looks like he's going to murder someone after displaying that joker, with those black gloves. Mine are at least colourful

Actually, I think he probably plays with his Joker that way after he murders someone. Y'know, like that's his reward to himself. But, could easily be the other way around.

Awesome. Seeing those Side to side will be cool. Can't wait to see.

 

[FLOSI]

Wait, you guys wear gloves when you handle your figures? WTF?

 

[pixletwin]

I actually bought some cotton gloves last night.

Stop it... Just stop.

Surprising since HT is usually known for making small heads, not large ones. This EX is extra cool and very symbolic probably the most important symbol in the OT)...but certainly not screen accurate.

In this case better than screen accurate, because in the movie they cheated the scale for the best look on screen for any given shot, but as a 1:6 replica the scale of helmet can't be cheated or we would all be laughing about how small Vader's helmet is.

I like it, it's what it is supposed to be story wise and I wouldn't want it any other way.

By the way I should have gotten my figure(s) like 3 days ago, but Hurricane Sandy has delayed it. It's been on the truck in route to my house for a few days now- lol. The tracking sight hasn't updated yet, I am hoping it comes today- roads have cleared up a lot.

Reveal head too small. Cancelled.

Bought some gloves with spare cash.

I worked this out by getting the full price of the two figs $598 and then finding the cost of 23% (the rate Irish Customs charge) so $137 plus approx $35 for Fed Ex fees. $175-ish give or take.

Jesus!! Oh well that's another practicle reason to no move back to Ireland!

You might be better off getting your Hot Toys from a UK store or a buddy in the US who will forward them on without the import fees.

Or was this like a one off as you wanted the exclusive version?

I always have clammy/sweaty hands, I feel it's necessary so I don't wreck the paint app/slip out of my hands

Oh-ho-ho the irony if that were the case

Still, a great looking item and w/o a direct comparison nothing I would have likely noticed

 

[the angry orc]

that video was funny...and kind of scary.

So you think folks should be completely nude when handling figures, like you do? That's understandable. . .

 

[jimmie_dimmick]

Well this sucks. I signed the slip to have UPS leave the package at my door. They didn't. who knows when I will have my figure now!?!

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Excuse crappy phone pic!

I find clothing inhibits my ability to drag my testes across my figures.
