Hot toys Snowspeeder Pilot Luke Skywalker

[Hando]

I'm feeling seriously tempted to order one now. It's never been one of my favorite SW ships, but a giant 1/6 version would still look insanely cool in the collection. Especially with this figure next to it.

What I really want is a dagobah swamp wrecked dirty broken half drowned x wing for this luke to stand on

Getting two of these. One to kitbash into a Dak Ralter to pair with Luke. Going to use this Luke sculpt to upgrade my dx07.

Luke and Dak will look great together on display.

You’ll need the Snowspeeder too!

I love these little mistakes and weird decisions. They are the magic and soul of film making.

So you love the ST then?

Definitely ordering next weeks pay day.
Too good of a figure to wait for.
woot woot!!

You would know, wouldn't you?

LOL I should -- but it's a departmental quagmire to me. I should ask my department head, maybe they know.

@endo1 recent example: stunt team came and set up a steel mechanical beam with wire rigging for a murder victim (stuntperson) to 'hang' from. Carpentry department skinned it to look like a barn beam. Sets then dressed it in real (but non-practical) ropes and knot work for depth and realism.

Following that example, @Wor-Gar would be correct in accusing Sets of bubble-wrapping the straps, but I don't know how Lucasfilm's crew worked back in the late '70s and early '80s. Sets doesn't generally touch picture vehicles when I work, but the snowspeeder is a rig on a set, not a vehicle.

Sounds like an interesting day at work, and no threat of frostbite I trust? Lol.

I found these collection of articles on LFL that gives a nice call back to the glory days of working on ESB. Enjoy!

Look at all that chinstrap outrage. Tali needs to tell those gals that the chinstrap is actually correct, from a certain point of view.

Did the SSC have more collar room for the helmet to fit inside of it?

 

[Chambea1114]

He did some pretty convincing poses and even was able to do the hanging down pose. I wonder if that string will be able to support him over a long display period?

 

[jye4ever]

Enough of this, SS release him!

Here is Sideshow's Unsealed & Revealed link (will be up at 1pm EDT)

 

[Hoody999]

What an epic release. Nothing like a good OT release to get us all excited again !!!

What would you say is a good price to get this guy now? 300? 350? Or too much?

Anything under $450 would be a win and that’s with the slower shipping option if you choose the faster you can forget about below $450.

Lacking patience comes with a high price lol

Ok I just did a check out with the slowest shipping for $415.00 US but I used a 5% code.
