Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[joebizz34]

Man I don't have the balls to do that to a $300 figure. I just accept it as it arrives!!

Good for you!!

But customizing never interested me.....

Thanks!! But technically I did that to a $150 figure since I didn't touch the other clean version.

Same!

That's half the fun!



Oh and great job on the weathering, Ron.

 

[TheFiend]

Yup. Modded height and dome and he's still pretty massive. The one scene I think of in Empire where Vader looks really huge is when Luke is going down that close to the end of the battle, it's dead quiet when Vader suddenly comes out of no where and takes a swing with his saber. You can really see how much bigger Prowse is than Hamill.

Oh! So he is modded! I was asking if he wasn't because he appears so big. Jesus, how big is this guy?

For me posing is.

Thanks man!! Anyone who knows me and my thread...I am VERY interested in customizing.

I know right? I felt the same way when I opened it and saw that it was correct. I was disappointed I must admit.

I haven't been keeping up with this thread so I don't know what the general consensus is and what QC problems are being talked about but I'll play catch up tomorrow.

My first impressions are this guy is bad ass! Way happier than I thought I was gonna be. Definitely glad I stuck it out. From my quick inspection everything looks perfect QC wise. PERS work well and don't look wonky, tight joints, no damages.

Only nits so far is a wish the collar wasn't such a turtle neck and I wish that the BD hair fit the reg. sculpt better.

Really quick crappy unfutzed shots. Yes I know I need to mod my Vader

 

[Apone]

He looks like a distant cousin of Sloth Fratellis here...that eye is lazy!

 

[jedijim3002]

Finally got a chance to unbox Luke, and man oh man am I in love!

I wasn't a fan of the BD hair on the normal sculpt in OMGs pics, but I tried it out and in hand I love it.

Here are some pics of Luke as I have him for now, until the BD outfit gets weathered.

Some with Vader

Hey Marf can you post a pic of your SS Boba standing next to Luke. I'm trying to get an idea of how tall Boba is.

 

[TheFiend]

Those are great pics Marf. You have the best Yoda.

 

[TheFiend]

I really like the reg head with bd hair holding the unlit saber look. I gotta try that.

 

[Lordscum]

My head finally arrived from Hong Kong today only that I wasn't home to sign for it . Haved to pick it up from the Post office tomorrow morning.

At least my HT luke will finally be complete aside from weathering it tomorrow night!

 

[TheFiend]

Yes Han and Anakin and some Episode II character have already been confirmed via Howard Chan interview.

I didn't know that. I knew about Anakin and Han but they have two PT characters in the works and only one more OT for the forseeable future?

At the very least I thought I could hope for an every other figure release. OT,PT,OT,PT and so forth.

Yeah

OT-Bespin Luke
PT-Anakin
OT-Han Solo
PT-Episode II Character

It looks like its every other at the moment.

 

[TheFiend]

Ah, your right. For some reason I didn't take Luke into account. Lets hope they at least release them that way though.
I wonder what Episode II character it will be. I really dread that one and I've seen it the least out of the prequels so I know little about it. I'd rather they do Maul from Episode I that way I at least have 2 more HT SW figures to looks forward to. Maul isn't OT but it's better than any of the others.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

I'd be very surprised if that Episode 2 character isn't either Obi-Wan or Dooku.

Ah, your right. For some reason I didn't take Luke into account. Lets hope they at least release them that way though.

I wonder what Episode II hracter it will be. I relly dread that one and I've seen it the least out of the prequels so I know little about it. I'd rather they do Maul from Episode I that way I at least have 2 more HT SW figures to looks forward to. Maul isn't OT but it's better than any of the others.

Id prefer if they did TWO DX releases a year. One OT and One PT. Keep it fair.

As for what they could do...If its true that HT can only do characters SS has already done then these would be the choices:

-Obi-wan Kenobi (Jedi Knight) (The most likely)
-Mace Windu
-Kit Fisto
-Ki Adi Mundi
-Aayla Secura
-Plo Koon
-Darth Sidious

All those could be considered "Episode II", but who knows.

I may be missing some, but those are the ones I remember SS has done.

 

[TheFiend]

I'd be very surprised if that Episode 2 character isn't either Obi-Wan or Dooku.

Ah, PT Obi is another figure that would be a maybe for me but that would be it for PT for me. Im just a big Obi fan and I think Mcgregor actually did the character justice. But it would have to be an Episode III Obi.

Dooku is beyond awful. Silly name, some of the worst acting in all the prequels and I just generally think he was a lame character.


@ Rzez Two releases a year would be fine. That would at least ensure me one HT Star Wars figure a year.

I could see another Palpatine 2 pack but from AOTC. SS did a good job on Obi Wan from AOTC so I doubt he will be made. Maybe Tyrannus/Dooku. Are they all going to be DX's? If so I doubt they will be minor characters. Could we possibly get Padme with 2 outfits?
