[xipotec]

For those interested...the gloved hands from the Disney Krennic figure work pretty good as an alternative..

Nice to see the evolution of Luke. I still love my dx7 Lukes too. I have Jedi Luke on the way. I like the Bespin Luke with Jedi head. What all did you have to do to make the hair fit?

This is the best ANH Luke I've ever seen. Looks almost perfect IMO.

I’ve personally never cared for the Jnix ANH Luke sculpt (even more so than the HT sculpt), and I don’t really think the expression on the RotJ Luke sculpt fits ESB Luke. But to each their own, of course.

Only ROTJ Luke looks good here. What happened with ANH Luke eye there? Really funny looking. I prefer better original head on Bespin Luke. Cant wait to get rotj Luke. To bad that Popcultcha getting slow these figures.

Under certain lighting the JNIX Luke can look decent. The eyes are a bit odd, but Chillipep has a great paint-up of it. Possibly Silentsurfer.

I always like Chillipep's collection pics. They have a nice high-end vibe and a great attention to detail.

Yeah, I really love to see the ROTJ head/ESB hair combo but the sculpt feels very Luke in ROTJ to me. His face is fairly boyish in SW and ESB, but by ROTJ he was looking noticeably older.

Still, would love to see more pics of the combo, because it's the first thing I thought of when I got my ROTJ Luke. I wonder if the ESB hair just squeezes on or if there's any carving of the ROTJ head that's necessary.

I felt very lucky that the SSC Red Five Luke hair fitted right onto the HT Luke farmboy head. I was never a fan of that HT headsculpt, but with the new hair on it, I like it better. It may have mostly been the copper melon that was the problem.

It's always fascinating to see hairpiece swaps on these figures. Hair is a tough thing to get right, both in sculpt and paint, even for the likes of HT.

Thanks for the kind words fellas. I agree the sculpt is certainly Jedi - era specific, but the hot toys empire head looks more like Ellen than it does any version of Mark Hamil.. this made for a nice and easy upgrade. HT truly slayed it with their ROTJ Luke.

And also yep that’s a silentsurfer paint on that Luke, one of the only few I have of his in the collection.

Incredible Luke line-up. That's the evolution I will collect. Those three steps in his journey. Perfect character growth.

that Yunsil outfit looks superior compare to Hot Toys stock

 

[SilverStar17]

That’s the exact OT evolution I have: ANH (farmboy/Binary Sunset pose) - ESB (duel on Cloud City) - RotJ (Jedi).

I also have TFA Luke and will have TLJ. So a full evolution of Luke.

Birth on Polis Massa? Just to kick things off?

No shock there then.

Even so, HT did a stellar job.

Baby Luke in Obiwan Deluxe set ?

Baby Luke in Obiwan Deluxe set ?

Ghost Luke in Ep IX ?

Baby Luke from ROTS, Diaper Luke from ESB and TLJ Luke might be a nice evolution trio too.

I once said it reminded me of Alien 3 Ripley when the hair is removed.

Yup. Looks really good, the scaling looks a bit less to scale than the HT version but so much closer to the original materials. Yunsil did a really great job on that one, not shocked now that I got my first outfit of hers (Leia). Thanks to chilipep no less.

I’d like that but am dissatisfied with the first two offerings. Currently have Stormtrooper Luke, Snowpeeder Luke, and ROTJ.
