Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[Lordscum]

Thanks buddy. It's temporary while I decide to go open air or another Besta for him and his Dad!

Yep thats the Tomy Helmet. I got it for like $25, maybe a bit too much but I like how it displays.

How about some more pics of your colelction?

Nice job, His hair reminds me of the Bad guy from "No Country for Old Men"

Does anyone know why Hot Toys hasn't announced another Star Wars figure?

Just opened mine up this weekend and had the saber hook and one of the holster magnets come unglued. Tried to super glue it but it didn't take. I see a bunch of people mentioning using super glue though. Are you using something to remove the old glue first? I feel like I'm trying to glue the hook to a patch of glue instead of to the belt, which might be the problem. How long are you letting it set? I held it with pliers for about a minutes, as soon as I let go it just fell off. Granted the tube of glue was a little old.

Iron Man 3. Pretty Much everything is being delayed so they can make every Iron man armor. I'm actually not kidding.

I used locktite superglue and let it set for a minute. I had to reattach a magnet to the holster. That was the only issue I had. If you have some glue residue you might want to scrape it off gently before trying to reglue. Hope this helps.

My saber hook seemed to glue back just fine. Sadly, the hook for the other one was lost right away. Still, a shame on a high end figure that the glue didn't even last. Haven't had that issue with any other figure.

They're quite impressive, bordering on spectacular.

Nice work as always Elvis.. but if I'm going to be completely honest..

I'm not into the Jedi Luke 'custom' hair that seems to be kicking around - at all. It just looks jarring to me, & not at all a natural extension of his face. I've actually held back from saying this till now, because I don't want it to seem like I'm being overly critical.. but yeah, not a fan of that hair.

I suspect you've got the flap down on the 'Jedi' shirt to show that it's functional that way, but it's making his chest look buff.. just a minor nit anyway.

Not a problem, I actually do quiet like the hair but you're right the face is not 100% there. But that is the best alternative of head atm.

You're right about the flap. I since change that and added the cape.

And to add something he did have a pretty stupid looking haircut in jedi anyway. lol

Anyone interested in a Weathervane Base?

Somehow I ended up with an extra and I don't want or need it.
It's all packed up and simply needs a good home!

How's $30 delivered in USA?
PM me if interested - thanks!

Don't get me wrong man - your hair sculpt is definitely a great attempt, but I was talking generally more so.

I wasn't making any criticisms about the head though; it actually looks like a recast (sans PERS) of the HT head - no?

Nop that is the ht head there not a recast. I just used the medicom hair piece resculpted a bit.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Oh ok.

For some reason, the eyes look a little squinty from where I'm sitting..

...Hoth Luke

Your Hoth Luke is amazing, Elvis. That battle-damaged Luke sculpt really works with the outfit. Looks like he's fresh from the Wampa's cave.

 

[clparker04]

Amazing work mate I love Hoth Luke very cool

Just noticed that a lot of the custom Jedi Lukes are being displayed with the leather belt on over the vest. Did Luke wear it like that in the film? I can't remember if he did or didn't. I want to say he didn't, but I'm not sure.
