Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[Wor-Gar]

$6 each at Radioshack: https://batteryfinder.radioshack.com/#search=AG 1

Get a bundle on ebay or something. Although the bundle will probably be cheap and weak too. But $6 each, and you need three... plus all the Iron Man replacement batteries. Adds up fast.

Luke arrived this morning! Like others, the magnet has separated from the head and is stuck in the hair. Any recommendations for glue types or brands that will work that won't ruin the head or melt the plastic?

Amazon has packs of 10 for $2-3

Super glue any kind.

This sucks. Because of this hurricane my Luke is being delayed. It was supposed to be here today, but it's still in Illinois. Crap, I don't want to wait any longer.

Out for delivery Now the "don't be in the bathroom too long or miss UPS" begins.

Anyone else have paint issues on Luke's "moles"

my BD HS is perfect, but the clean one his moles (2 or 3 on his face) are basically a black dot (like someone took a very fine permanant marker to it), just a bad paint job I guess, probably nothing Sideshow would do about it but it does stand out, guess I could just put some of my wife's makeup on him

Overall this is awesome, love the figure, I don't have any of my starwars figures displayed yet (no room until I buy a bigger house) but I am a little worried about the scale with sideshow, heads seem bigger on SS figures (obviously less detailed as well).

Might just grab bulk batteries on ebay

I like to use the Krazy Glue single use tubes for all of my hobby gluing. They come in a pack of four single use tubes for around $3. No mess or having to save them. Super convenient.

That's a new one.

Luke has just arrived.
Amazing.
That's all I can say.
Box arrived in perfect condition, both figures look great, no nose rubs or unglued magnets. Everything in perfect mint condition.
The level of detail and the quality of the materials is top notch. Outstanding, truly outstanding.

I'm in the same boat!

Luke is shipping from CSC today, so (definitely) tomorrow!

I just hope I don't have to send him back because of some paint rub(s).

Just out of curiosity sake, does the Tomy x wing helmet fit on the luke sculpts when the hair piece isn't on it?

Received my set yesterday. I had a brief moment of panic when I removed the weather vane. The section under the power button had come unglued and was just hanging by the electrical wires inside. I decided to just glue it and it's fine now. Although, this concerns me if I ever decide to mount it to the ceiling.

Yes it will. You kinda have to angle the head into the helmet, but it does fit. Be careful of paint rubs on the ears though.

I had the same issue. Glued it and it seems quite stable now. I would not worry too much about mounting it.

Good to know. HT really needs to start using a stronger adhesive or have a label on the box saying "Some assembly may be required"
