Hot Toys MMS429 - Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker

[parrasmaniac]

Ivan Ortega is the guy on youtube that is in the middle of reediting TLJ to try and save it, he has got tons of clips done showing his progress posted. And he knows his stuff.

this has already been done by SoboFilms, look in fanedit.org. A success.

Sure dude you can like it if you want but there are plenty of fans that in fact hate it with a passion.

 

[CollectorGuy]

I get why people hate it, i mean the plot holes and scenes that go NOWHERE were definitely stupid. I thought the scenes with luke were good, but the scenes with rey were dull. What constantly bothered me was how the movie ripped off RotJ almost entirely. I mean the scene with rey being brought before snaug by kylo ren was straight up RotJ. The scene with him trying to kill rey and kylo had to choose to save her and betray his master, again RotJ. Then the end scene with the salt planet, that was straight up Hoth AT-AT from ESB.

Aside from those issues i enjoyed it once the action stuff came on the screen it felt more like SW. I mean the TFA played it safe by being too similar to the original SW to appease old fans, whereas TLJ copied RotJ for some reason. Neither of these 2 films have their own identity for some reason.

It looks nice and yea some of the action stuff is good it is not a 0/10 movie but it is sure as hell not a 10/10 i would say 4/10 for me for as much as they butchered the lore, the plot holes, reylo, mary sue rey that they doubled down on rather than trying to make any effort to fix the character, how they abused fasmia, same with finn, and rose the move would be 10x better if she was not in it at all with her virtue signaling nonsense. And luke yea they pissed all over lukes character and motivations.

Yawn. Take TLJ talk to the proper threads.

 

[CollectorGuy]

I did hear MH saying something along the lines of " he's not MY luke ". I heard he had great ideas for his characters but they wouldn't let him do it his way.

Who's Klaatu? He is one of Jabbas henchmen. The green scaled faced guy. I loved the figure when I was a kid.

Spaceballs 2 came out mid December last year. It was directed by Rian Johnson.

Relax..I don’t pay attention to every character in the SW films, there’s too many to remember all their names, so I just focus on the main ones

I’m sure there a lot of people who can’t remember every characters names too

Yeah - isn’t there a thread where haters can continue to stew in their hatred? It’s off topic and has nothing to do with the ROTJ Luke figure.

 

[generalgrevious]

happens all the time around here.

 

[guyver1]

Yup TLJ thread is up and kicking , you guys take the TLJ disputes over there

 

[guyver1]

happens all the time around here.

Happens too much that the threads get shutdown sometimes

Looks like the SS version proto got the belt right at least. Equipped with two adjustable belt holes for the vest and DS looks and no overlapping Velcro strip in the back. May just have to pick it up for some extras.

 

[Wor-Gar]

People are going to be after those SS belts.

 

[CollectorGuy]

Yeah but in that proto the ssc versions is tighter looking than ht. It may be too small for the ht version.

 

[bedot]

The only issue I would have with the Velcro belt is that being so small the Velcro attach point must be really small. If you keep changing outfits, the Velcro might wear easily.

Good idea in theory imo, but not the best in practice.

SSC always has better clothing. They are the masters at tailoring . What they need to work on is the base body underneath. Whatever the reason they don’t want to develop a aesthetic looking body to handle the extreme detail they put in their clothing and accessories.

Why I like HT TT, is the body moves so naturally so when you pose the character it looks like a real person posed. Don’t get me wrong, SSC bodies lately have been vastly improved, but they are still not quite there yet.

SSC paint scheme is not the best either, sometimes the bad paint loses the realism in the hs

Have to say that ssc proto does looks nice.

Problem is SS proto is always nice. It’s production that ruins it.

Sorry, I was relaxed I was just confirming the question and I agree fully.
For 40 years + I have been devoted to the legacy of Luke and Star Wars. It has had a vast influence on my life so even the background characters from these movies have huge signifance.

I cannot wait to get this figure. For me personally this is the end of Luke's journey when he redeems his father. That is my own opinion and decision I suppose. I just cannot accept the poor choices made in the new films. Trust me, I take no pleasure in typing that. It's heart breaking in fact. I can only presume that is why the debate rears up in inappropriate threads.

The Snowspeeder Luke outfit is fabulous. Sideshow do make some amazing 1/6 costumes.
