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

[pixletwin]

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.

I want to know how Justin ported the Snowspeeder head to the DX07.

Obviously didn’t work for me.

Pop the DX07 neck adapter off of the body. Then the rubber neck grommet inside that head will pop onto the neck post that’s left behind. I would post pics if I wasn’t at work.

 

[jedijim3002]

Take this piece off.

 

[jedijim3002]

This is what’s left.

It’s difficult to get off but it does come off. I had to use pliers.

No way the lightsaber will look that good lit up.

Nah...but I'll just print a new hilt and make a CCFL saber.

Really don’t think I need the deluxe version in this case. I have the Luke in Vader sculpt from the DX07 and the only other thing that’s extra is the Dagobah base. Think if I get this it’ll just be the normal version.

We think this will have his Dagobah tank top underneath? That’s really the main reason I’d like to get this piece to convert to his look then

 

[medicomsucks]

I think so because the first attempt had that shirt.

Hot Toys love to cut corners now though.

true. This shirt is also with the old sideshow luke as well and its good enough. Finding that should be easy.

Put in my pre-order for this finally, I realized I had essentially nothing on order and a coupon to burn.

I don’t think it will, that’s not HT style! It’s a Bespin figure not Dagobah, it’s not listed in the specs and it would conflict with their plans to do a separate figure later on.

They’ve come a long way with business tactics since DX 7!

I agree I don’t think the tank top will be included this time around. Probably a fat suit underneath.
But they are marketing the deluxe as a Bespin/Dagobah because it comes with a Dagobah themed base and the severed Vader Helmet from the cave scene.

Out this week apparently

Really? it would be 6 to 9 month ahead of schedule.

A couple of the Facebook sellers have said their stock is on the way

 

[Lordscum]

So probably another 3-4 weeks before SS get's theirs's ?

They most likely made all the heads the same time as Mando Luke to speed things up.

Toys Wonderland has it as "Ready to Ship". Really surprised by this.
