You have to pop the Dx 07 adapter off of the body. Then the rubber grommet inside that head will fit on the neck post left behind.

If you pop off this piece you will have this left.

It’s difficult to get off but it does come off.

I suspect this fig is going to be very sought after down the road. Mine is currently en route, and I'm very excited.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Mine is still enroute from HK.
Left last Wednesday.
Super excited to get this one in.

So you are saying to just put the head on the barbell peg (is that called a grommet? I had no idea! )

 

[jedijim3002]

Did you get the neck adapter off the body?

 

[jedijim3002]

I called the rubber adapter that’s on the inside of the Luke head a “grommet”. The “barbell”neck peg on the inside of the body I just call a ball joint.

Not yet. I will definitely give it a go tomorrow though and post a picture.

Oh ok. I am pretty ignorant (obviously) when it comes to the proper names for these figure parts.

 

[jedijim3002]

All good buddy. Hope it works out. I’ll post some better pics of my own when I get home.

Sideshow came through with a minty fresh exchange. I can't even begin to explain how well done this figure is. WOW!
p.s. dig that custom display base y'all!

bit annoying the gun doesn't quite work with the gloved hand

To be fair, he never actually held a blaster when he was in the gloved outfit.

Can anyone else with both Snowspeeder Luke and TCW Maul confirm they share gloved hands?

I saw that pointed out elsewhere. But after I heard that, I realized that’s probably why @jimbean said the pistol doesn’t fit Luke’s hand well since Maul’s hands weren’t made with a blaster in mind.

Tricky but a little unfortunate bit of parts reuse by Hot Toys for an otherwise superb figure.

Yes, and no. Same mold, but they've laid some texture over it for the Luke hands.

I'm really not a huge fan of HT's gloved hand sculpts, but these are fine I guess. They may be the Finse thicker style (vs the studio shoot style in the HT figure) but I prefer the SSC Luke Snowsp gloved hand sculpts.

Just got an email that my Luke is arriving tomorrow.

Never received any notification that it had even shipped lol

 

[Prime Clone]

Bad news for those who preordered this from popcultcha:

"looks like there's a delay at the supplier as they've pushed their ship date back to Q3 of 2022, meaning anywhere between July-September it might ship out from the supplier."

So likely won't ship from PC itself until Sept/Oct? Wow.

"Thank the Maker!" - my wallet

Invoiced by TBA this morning.

 

[Mike86]

Just paid for mine this morning from Alter Ego. Hopefully I’ll get it by the end of the week.

 

[Joe Prince]

Mine is due tomorrow! Can't wait!

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Mine is still in transit from HK.
far out.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Mine hasn't been ordered yet...

I'm still waiting to hear what else will be announced this year before throwing some significant RPs at it.
