Sideshow not getting this one in till next year either? So much for all my Christmas presents this year
That was one of the issues I had with my original. The new one, at least mine, doesn't seem to come to as nearly drastic of a point as my original.

Please excuse my mess of wires, I'm planning on a display overhaul here sometime pretty soon. And I think every time I open up my cabinet I change something on Crait Luke
My picture does it NO justice, but I'm so glad I got this figure. I'll probably lose my ass selling my original but it's still worth it.
Sideshow now shows December as the release date , has anyone that?s doing payments got a delay email ?
Before I finally cancelled my order, the last push back email I got listed mine January 5.
Im gonna pull the trigger on him after Christmas. I have close to 150 in rewards points to soften the blow. Never would I ever pay full price for this figure without the kick in- considering I have the V1. Dead horse here- but it sucks that we have to buy this figure again. Slightly tailored suit or not- it looks a world better!
I just don't see it; besides it overall looking more slender. The hair looks more copperish on the new one. The comparison in the Justin's Collection video has the first Luke looking intentionally futzed with to look bad. The body/clothing on mine looks more like the original one. I know ppl have said the manufacturer applied the padded undersuit badly on some.
I'm just wondering what the upgrade/difference is supposed to be with the new head; besides looking off to the right (and the hair colour). I do display them with the cloak, so it seems like it's not necessary to get this one. And like I said, mine just doesn't look stocky. But any insight on the drastic improvements would be greatly appreciated; cause I'll buy the new one if there's a real good reason to.
There's a reason why some people with V1 have ****tier bodies and headsculpts than others. It's because the earliest batch had the fattest suits and possibly missing a wash on the head sculpts. The next batch fixed the fat suit issue.
Anyway, I had the first batch and I was really disappointed with the figure. Watching Justin's video, I saw a marked improvement on the face sculpt and the suit! It was finally the ROTJ Luke I had been waiting for.
So I just used all my points plus a 5% discount code to get him for nearly free. I'll probably sell parts of the original I don't need. It's annoying but hopefully I can recoup my losses somewhat with the sales.
Does this figure come with the Jedi robe?
I can totally see that. I did end up getting a second, due to **** retentive "QC issues." I do remember that second one that I kept looking better. Didn't think about it at the time with having less/better fitted padding than the first..but I guess that was the case. This is my holy grail of Luke, but it looks like I'm gonna be okay with my second batch edition. That's really awesome you got the new one for practically free. And good luck with selling off the parts you don't want...hopefully getting a fair price for em.There's a reason why some people with V1 have ****tier bodies and headsculpts than others.
