Hot Toys DX24 & DX25 Bespin Luke Skywalker (Regular and Exclusive versions)

[Hando]

I really don’t want a diorama base that has someone’s heart in it … ewww

What do you mean? What am I missing here?

the narrator says "our heart also goes into the diorama base" in the video

No way the lightsaber will look that good lit up.

Of course not, they edit the photos to make them look like that too.

Ah. I did mute the guy with the annoying car commercial voice reading howards self wankery off the telepromter

The video sparked this conversation but this isnt anything new. It definitely will not

Oh yeah of course, it just looks so good lit up like that lol, it'd be great if they did look like that.

If they did I would actually use them

lol same, I think I tried it once with Anakin years ago and was just so disappointed with the end result. I don't even touch them now.

I really dont know anybody who does and why they keep making them. Id rather have more hand options. Case in point snowspeeder luke. Only left relaxed hand and only right trigger hand and not even a gloved trigger hand. This always limits your options

yea I wanted to as well, but I was too curious to hear if there as anything new said.

Yea, I think everyone has been a little disappointed with the LED lightsabers. I was ok with my ANH Vader one, but very disappointed by the underwhelming "glow" on my ANH Obi-wan.

first light up saber I tried didn't work unless the arm was bent a certain way, and the LED sucked, so I never bothered again. Plus they really ****** up Kylo's costume just to jam that in there.... only for the zipper to fall off the costume on its own at one point.

 

[Hando]

Yes I mean why go through the trouble of putting in the batteries and messing with the outfit and wrestling with the arm peg just for a soft glow that you have to turn all the lights off to see and for the batteries to die out in 5 seconds. I really just never understand this.

I prefer them only for the lightsaber to be glued to his hand

Does anyone else find it odd that Hot Toys released this mini showcase video on a figure that still has over a year before it releases? Makes me wonder if he will show up way earlier than expected.

After seeing how much time was spent on the helmet and base it made me think the Deluxe version is barely selling.

Also seems like they want people to buy multiples. Replace all your other sculpts!

 

[RPM716]

Likeness looks pretty good in the video, especially if that’s how the rolling eyeballs are gonna turn out. I figure get pose the eyes up for a more determined look and it’ll do wonders for the expression.

Those 4 heads are the deadest looking eyes I've ever seen. Blows up the death star, nothing. Rides a speeder bike, nothing. Fights Vader, nothing. Then he goes and steps out in front of a bus or something.

 

[davejames]

Yeah gotta say I'm feeling much less impressed with that sculpt now. It's got too much of that bland CG look about it, and at this rate I'm much more inclined to just pick up another Snowspeeder Luke head to use on my DX07, as I thought that combo worked so much better in Justin's review. And this sculpt at least has a hint of emotion and intensity in it.

 

[stingermck]

I ordered a standard and a deluxe

Same, its Luke, so why not.

I thought the same, though I'm sure moving the eyes to a different position would help bring out different looks and emotions rather than the blank stare they have in the video. I do wish HT would make his scars just a little more visible in all their ESB and ROTJ sculpts

Does anyone know what's going on with preorders through sideshow? I'm getting this message when adding it to my cart: This product cannot be sold to the country (US).
