Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[Username]

So I jut pulled this set out of storage since I first bought it. All the holster magnets, and saber hilt hooks fell off on both figures. Whats the best glue for these? Any ol' super glue? Hot glue?

Dont use hot glue, lol.
And don’t attempt it if you’re not sure. It needs a bit of skill even with super glue.

Would Fabric glue work?

I’d recommend fabric glue too.

I’m not exactly one to give advice on fixes because I just go for whatever’s quickest, but I did just reglue the side magnet of the holster with some Loctite Gel Control and it worked just fine. I think the material that holds the saber hook is pretty much the same so regular super glue probably won’t be harmful if you don’t have access to fabric glue.

Thanks for the suggestions, I happen to have some of that Loctite gel on hand, maybe I'll just give that a try first.

New inigo head. To me looks perfect

Nice, Scott. Some of the better shots I’ve seen of it. Who painted it?

And is that a repaint of the SS X-Wing sculpt? Would love to see more detailed pics of that. Think that might be the first I’ve seen.

Yeah, interesting to see for sure. I just did a rough side-by-side comp. The underlying likeness isn't as strong as I thought but fixing the weird eyes and slightly odd skin paint app alone is worth the work.

Yes Yelim Choi did both. I had her do 4 Luke heads and hairs for me recently. I'll get more pics later tonight.

 

[scottjua]

Here you guys go. Keep in mind these are quick phone photos... I didn't bust out the big cameras...

Here's more of the sideshow X wing Luke head repaint

Vs. The original bland hair paint.

And all my other Luke heads...

That Bespin Luke sculpt looks fantastic.

 

[scottjua]

Thanks! I'm happy with it at least. ^_^

Sweeeeeet display, CW!

 

[Craig Walker]

Thanks

Best display of Vader and Luke. Really good way of using the two figures, hope they’ll release Luke 2.0 soon

Out of curiosity, were you going for this shot?
