Hot Toys MMS429 - Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker

[Mike86]

Even if they’re planning on doing the Endor version including one or two more gloved hands shouldn’t have been a big deal. It’s not like we’re talking a major accessory or a spare sculpt or something. Hands are usually plentiful and to have left out one that a lot of people would probably use is dumb in my opinion.

It's not dumb when it's a strategic choice to entice people to buy both Lukes instead of one or the other.

Hot Toys would never do such a thing...

I personally think the outfits alone would be enough to entice people to buy both. Endor Luke only = no Jabba’s Palace outfits (cloak or tunic). This figure only = no Endor gear. People were already mulling whether to buy two of these to have separate looks.

As I mentioned, if anything, I would have just had the lone gloved hand that came with this figure be a saber gripping gloved hand as opposed to the fully clenched fist.

Yeah mine seems kinda more slender to me than some other figs but... maybe not.

Maybe it comes down to the camera.

The waist belt on mine could maybe be tightened/futzed to get the torso/waist a touch more slender. that's the only area that seems a little thicker to me, but in-hand I didn't notice it.

Things are way busy for me but I will try to get to it..... this is straight out of the box....zero modding.

Heres the shots posted before. I pass him every day and am amazed at how much fatter some of them look...

These are definitely more slender than the one I had. The suit was tight on mine and he looked fat which is why I sold him. Where did you get yours? Maybe I’ll throw an order in there and try my luck.

How are everybody's boots holding up? Mine aren't looking too great.

What’s wrong with your boots?

Mine was from Sideshow. As soon as I took it out and looked at it, I kept thinking "doesn't look fat to me." I guess it's possible the fat suit got fitted differently on some figs. You wouldn't think they'd make a change on the fat suit mid way through a run, but who knows I guess.

And yeah - what's up with the boots? The fig only came out a couple of months ago.

 

[MaulFan]

I wouldn't say mine looks fat, if anything, maybe fuller in the upper body like someone who does moderate weight lifting and not quite as scrawny as Hamill looked, but the suit is so perfectly tailored to the body, I'd be hesitant to try and remove the suit and have the body more Hamill looking.

Interesting. My fatty was from Timewalker. I may try Sideshow and see.

Like I said though, we’re talking spare hands here not some major accessory or a head sculpt or something. Another figure that has extra hands will be nice but that wouldn’t be the main selling point.

That one is definitely more slender than mine. It does have the weightlifter deltoids, but the suit is not tight in the arms and chest.

 

[dukefett]

Mine is definitely on the fatter side too.

Someones having a go !

By Inigo ??

 

[momaw]

That looks fantastic. My wallet cries at the thought of the cost professionally painted up.

Yep, that looks like Inigo's sculpt. Can't wait to get it... and subsequently wait a few years to get it properly painted. lol

 

[SilverStar17]

That’s a nice looking sculpt indeed.

 

[Mike86]

That is a nice sculpt but I have no idea about getting things painted professionally.

Seriously though - looks great, really interested to see that painted up (though yes, all up that head painted/shipped will easily cost more than a whole HT Luke figure.)

 

[Darth Fok]

That sculpt would work for the ANH figure as well
