Pics usually come up around 4pm Australian time...so 30mins I reckon!

Found a few photos from the Hong Kong FB page

Here is the light saber

 

[Wor-Gar]

Saber's not bad. Bright.

Don't like that cheap-ass Sideshow material on the inner tunic robe. Surprised to see HT using that see-thru material here.

 

[Invictus Sol]

That's pretty nice. Much better than I expected their sabre to be.

Isn't that the original random old guy sculpt?

Or judging by the chiffon inner robe...random old queen?

That lightsaber looks terrible.

With those first pics.... when did Kenobi become Asian?

Yup, going pixelpiper with the saber. Once you go cathode you don't go back.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The saber is a lot better than I expected it to be... at least in those pics if they're not PS'd.


But I have to say I'm disappointed in the choice of material for that inner robe... and I don't like the big Hasbro-stitching on the collar. Couldn't they just fold the material over?

Looks like I may have to use the inner robes and t-neck from my Sideshow Ben to replace here.

This is one figure HT should've left to Sideshow!

Rzeznikk, what do you think? Thanks for the pics, BTW.

I'm not that impressed with it either, but I wasn't planning on using the light up feature with Ben anyway.

Glad we have Piper!

Two pics are early to judge, but man, I usually think all of Hot Toys sculpts look pretty good, and am never to critical bout the sculpts, but dang this does not resemble Alec at all.

This was never their best sculpt though, even the v2 didn't look right.... and still doesn't. I'm sure someone here will get photos in the right lighting with shading that brings out the likeness a bit more. But Its clearly one of HT's weaker offerings.

I agree. This might be the weakest offering all year...
