Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[joebizz34]

great pics joebizz! but you have the lightsaber wrong on the belt. It's suposed to be attached with the D ring on the bottom

Ah yes. . Thanks for catching that. I think what confused me is the way they showed it in the instructions. I think they had it upside down there as well. The other strange thing is in the instructions they show you how to attach the saber to the hilt but in reality the saber seems to be glued in permanently.


Edit: Nope...they didn't show it wrong in the instructions. They just show the hook and say that's where to hook the hilt onto. So my bad.

Is yours missing the hook, Joe? Mine fell off of my BD Luke... I had to glue that, the hair magnets and the holster magnet back in place.

I ordered a second set from Urban Samurai but I'm in the states. Does anyone have a phone number that I can reach them? I've exhausted all my resources and I'd like to know when this is going to ship.

604-569-1872 (they also do business as 'Ages 3 and Up')

I live close by their bricks and mortar shop, they are typically 3 weeks behind, so two more weeks I would guess.

Yes both hooks fell off. One I noticed and glued back on. I thought the BD belt didn't come with a hook at first. Then after I shot the vid and took the pics, I noticed the second hook laying on the floor. I glued both of them back on. I did not have to repair anything else on the figures for mine.

Sounds IKE they would.

are they letting you EEP the original?

Yes they are...They didn't ask me to destroy the original.

 

[pixletwin]

I'll buy it from you for tree fiddy.

So, I mounted the weather vane on my wall and I'm not 100% sold on keeping it that way. It just feels like I'm wasting the figure with it sitting all by itself.

Here's the non-BD... I had this vision of eventually having all three OT duels displayed, but I just can't get a good dramatic action look from Vader, so this display might be short lived.

 

[pixletwin]

Hey! Mounting it to a wall actually looks good.

 

[jimmie_dimmick]

Vader looks disinterested.

 

[FLOSI]

Thanks Marc. I have it positioned above Yoda's hut... The ceiling didn't make sense as I'd never be able to turn the damn lights on. Luke is actually hanging upside down at the moment.

 

[FLOSI]

Vader looks disinterested.

Yeah, he does... But that's pretty much the way the first few moments of the duel go... Vader fending off Luke with one hand.

That looks great! Now paint some pretty pink clouds on the wall!

That's exactly what I had to do with mine.

And a unicorn and a rainbow.

And a unicorn and a rainbow.

Luke is a bit of a Brony.

Consider it done!

That's exactly what I had to do with mine.

The only thing that worries me is the possibility of losing some of those tiny parts. Now that would suck.
