Awesome figure - he arrived today. I am having an issue with swapping the light up arm in - there is no usual finished slit in the sleeve to allow for the slightly thicker forearm to pass through the opening. Is mine a defect or is anyone else dealing with an overly narrow sleeve opening?

Here’s a crummy pic of our new favorite figure!

I don’t know if it’s so much the thread itself, as potentially the site itself. For the last few weeks, whenever I log in via my iPhone, it states “Website Not Secure” in the web address bar. Occasionally, I’ll get redirected to a pop-up site and I have to close it and then re-log in.
 
My Luke arrived today! Had to put him with my figures from the Battle of Great Pit of Carkoon lol unnamed.jpg
 
I’m a bit confused on what hands come with this figure because of all the discussion on gloved/ non gloved/ images of painted hands. What exactly gloved/ non gloved hands do we get? It’s my understanding that images in the promo pics depict hands we don’t get?

All you get is a fisted glove hand and the LED saber arm.

The gloved hand on the figure is attached to the hilt with an LED light. The gloved hand on the other arm is a closed fist.
 
I think everyone is getting this figure today...

Here are my pics. There so many options for posing. But I was trying to go for the Sail Barge Scene. Need that Endor Luke Sculpt for that and wind swept hair! >_<

Also I was playing around with the Jedi hairpiece on the DX07. Which I still think is their strongest Mark likeness to date.

Jedi Luke in Back is just using the HT Jedi Luke Cloak and hands. Sculpt is DX07 with SS Jedi clothes.

EDIT: so sick of these images rotating.

Finally opened my Luke yesterday and put him beside custom painted SS Luke....

I like SS Luke’s tunic better but everything else is bad. He is so huge. All of a sudden my favorite figure looked like a Hasbro toy. Also The SS lightsaber hilt is bigger and longer than the HT.

Gave SS Luke to my son. :wave

R.I.P SS Luke...R.I.P.

Got Luke today. All I’ve done so far was multiple washing and rinses of the cloak. TONS of dye came out. More than my Obi Wans or Anakin. Took 4 washings and rinses for the water to run clear. Hopefully when it’s dry it should be safe. The process didn’t affect Obi or Anakin and hopefully the same here. It just seems that HT doesn’t bother washing the excess dye out to finish the dying process and it should be fine and look the same once dry like the others. I’ll know tomorrow.
reminds me OT the old tye dyed T shirts process from the 80’s...
 
I know inigou did a run awhile back. I got mine off of a Facebook group. You should message inigou though and let him know you're interested, maybe he'll do another run.

As of a few days ago I actually reached out to him about another run. I said with everyone getting their figures currently it would probably be a very successful run.
