Hot Toys MMS429 - Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker

[Gipetto0812]

I just picked up a used one. Was the cloak on this one known to stain? Does it need to be soaked?

yes it does need to be washed to get the extra dye out.

Confirmation from Hot Toys that the new Mando/Bespin Luke head is compatible with previous Luke hairpieces and helmets.

Great news bad man does that face feel completely without life or personality.

Not a lot of care went into those photos for sure, but the likeness is quite an improvement.

There is potential.

I have this paired with my ESB Vader as well. I know some people have issues with 429's proportions--but it still looks great if posed correctly and using clever angles.

Put the Hot Toys sculpt on the Sideshow Luke Deluxe body. Needs some futzing but I prefer it over the HT version. Hot Toys' shirt is too padded and baggy IMO and looks almost like he's wearing a sweater than a shirt. Sideshow's tailoring is nice and sharp and the flap looks great with the magnets, though the collar is not very accurate.

And the sculpted split-cut boots are a great addition over HT's pleather ones.

Looking good! How easy is it to put the Hot Toys head on the SS Body?

Thanks! The Sideshow peg was a bit smaller so the head was loose. I put some bluetac on it and now it's snug.

I am looking for a body replacement now. I'm thinking Worldbox AT020/25 but I'd probably need to modify it to make it shorter. Any recommendations?

Tried my hand at making a Ccfl lightsaber. Turned out ok.

Looks sweet!

 

[Gipetto0812]

nice work @jedijim3002

 

[jedijim3002]

Thanks. These things are hard to get right. Bright as hell though. Might have to try and diffuse it somehow.

The new face sculpt updates this figure nicely

 

[jedijim3002]

That looks great!

Looks like Luke just noticed the new Mando/Bespin Luke sculpt being set up in the detolf next door, Palps is laughing at Luke's reaction and Anakin below is trying hard not to laugh.

We really should ban pics of the new facesculpt put on this figure/hairpiece - the existing facesculpt is fine even though the new one is an upgrade.
