1/6 Hot Toys -MMS 517- Episode VI ROTJ Luke Skywalker Collectible Figure (DELUXE VERSION)

[DarthAlias]

This figure looks great with the Mando/DX25 head. Here are my OT Lukes. Un pictured is DX25 and my ST Lukes. All 4 of them. But can’t have enough Lukes lol.

Yeah I've done the same thing but I find you have to do things like the downward tilt (or sideways glance, or more significant side tilt) on the DX25 head to give it any intensity.

It's a great likeness but I found it's just pretty mild as an expression for Luke. Despite some issues with it, I ended up keeping several of my HT Jedi Luke heads in place because I do like the determination on that sculpt.

Though I have waaayy more Lukes than most on this forum, so going beyond 5 or so DX25 heads as replacements would have been $$$$.

This isn't the final display. Just a quick pic of most my Luke's haha.

Finally completed my ROTJ Luke

-Bespin Sculpt
-Sanded armpits
-Sideshow boots
-Hilt from Palpatine with a proper powered off look
-Base by @Cocoboloboy

Doesn’t get much better than this.

Excellent bash. The Emperor hilt is what I use too. Very exclusive hilt tbh. No Luke comes with it. A shame. Why I had to buy two of them.

 

[Gipetto0812]

looks great @Raleig.h I would hate to have sand in my armpits

Would love to be able to nab that proper lightsaber hilt from the emperor set as well. I’ve only seen one for about $70 before on eBay and that’s way more than I’m willing to spend on it though I have considered it

 

[Raleig.h]

Thanks yall, Ive since adjusted his pants a bit to sit higher and get rid of some of the annoying creasing, as well as readjusted the pose, very happy with him.

Lukes secret weapon against Vader, of course!

Why sanding the armpits?
Thx.

 

[rayeknor]

Any difference between this body vs mms429 besides fatsuit?

 

[Raleig.h]

Thx.

To allow the arms to sit slower to the body, this is a pic from before the mods, the difference is more apparent in real life, but before I’d have to bend the elbows a bit for them to come closer to the body.

No difference as far as the body goes. There is even a fat suit on this new version but it’s far thinner than the original, I actually like it quite a bit as it helps smooth things out under the clothes.

That's nice. Add that to the list of Star Wars bases I'd like to order from coco..

I'm still looking for a damn Bespin/Mando sculpt for my Luke..

Its really nice, I ordered it years ago and don't use it much due to space, but had to bring it out for some pics. I'm looking to keep it out now since it compliments the figure so well.

Been looking for it for a good price for awhile now, I got lucky on TA, it was just sitting. I believe it was about $90, seems like a lot but eBay comps come up around $120-$130, so I knew it was a good deal.

Oh man, I thought HT bodies had fixed all this issues... and it is quite glaring one...
Thx for the info.
I'd even say that arms in your unit still aren't completely flat, are they?
BTW, what exactly did you sand?
Thx.

They aren't but I didn't want to go too far in fear of it looking kind of silly, there is also a fat suit and he actual clothes adding a bit of padding. I sanded down his lats, you'll be able to tell if you look at the body exactly what is hindering the arms, then just sand to your liking, you can definitely go further if you'd like.

When I customized my Luke a few years ago I took some WIP shots of the body, perhaps this helps.
For reference, I did exchange the upper arms and deltoids from another HT slim body.

Understood. Thanks.

Thanks for the pictures @agonistes86.
You sanded the body, exchanged the original thicker arms, then.... bulked up the new arms again? Why?
Thx.
