I got mine today. I haven't had a lot of time to play around with him but so far he looks awesome. I would definitely say out of the box he's the best version of Luke to date. There are so many display options . It's going to take a while to come up with my favorite.
Got mine today and looks fantastic. He's definitely looking a bit thick around the middle though so I'll need to correct that.
The lack of extra gloved hands has been discussed to death, but one thing I was surprised by was the lack of any relaxed hands. This is the first HT figure I can remember without them, and they're always my favorite to use. Fortunately I should have some extras around.

I recently got the parted-out costume pieces and saber arm from this figure. Put everything on a TTM-22 knock-off body, plopped on a modified Bespin BD head recast, and added a Hasbro saber blade. Here are some pics.
The clothes are a little loose without any padding, but not as much as I expected.
The looseness actually works out well for dynamic posing, which is what I needed anyway (and why I'm using a custom head sculpt - needed a more stern expression than the HT one). The belt is a problem, though; it's too loose without padding under it, so I had to add a new piece of velcro. The belt looks terrible from behind as a result, so I'll need to come up with something else.
Overall, I'm satisfied enough with HT's outfit that I'm going to get the full figure for the Jabba's palace look. That fat suit will be removed for sure, though.

Fantastic shot! This figure has so much potential. Every day I find a new pose I love. In hand, this head sculpt is phenomenal.

Vader: I see you have constructed a new lightsaber. You’re aware the power button on this thing is upside down, right?
No cool backdrops for mine unfortunately, but here's a few quick poses in the old detolf. I can definitely see how the neck seems a bit short, so that's another thing I'll need to take a look at. It's still a really damn cool looking figure though.
And of course I've always loved that moment during the Sarlacc scene when he catches the lightsaber and looks at it for a beat before activating it, so I had to do that pose too.

Great pics! I’ve still got about a month wait for mine.

Great pics indeed. I really dig that Sarlacc pit lightsaber activation pose.

Nice shots/poses davejames
How's the height on yours? It looks like it's from the same batch as mine...with the short neck and longer legs..

Got mine yesterday. He's a beaut. Only did a few poses but I love him already. Headsculpt is much better in person too. The instructions indicate that the reason his hair has the magnet is for an "expansion set" later. I'm paraphrasing but I'm starting to think Endor Luke won't be a full figure. Maybe they'll put up Endor Leia with Luke add ons. First pic is my son being excited for daddy's new toy[emoji16]...

Hmm, I'll have to check later. I did put him next to my modded ANH Luke and he seemed about the same height, but can't remember what height I made that one to be. The proportions do seem a bit off though.
Kinda strange to think that I've got around 20 SW figures by now, and this is my first one from ROTJ. Somehow that just doesn't seem right.
