1/6 Hot Toys - Star Wars Episode IV - 1/6th scale Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper Disguise

[Asta]

Thx!

No probs.

It's still a bit confusing, as there's no indication of the number permitted for VIPs, nor the number allotted to Sideshow.

I remember Budget Stark talking about the Hot Toys 'lottery' in Hong Kong. Must be really frustrating.

I demand a helmeted sculpt! What happened to things like additional heads that make these special?

 

[jkno]

Get the short Stormtrooper will say HT.

It does sound like a pain in @$$ if you live in HK and want to buy these.

Yeah, anyways probably get a low quantity alert by August i would say.

Still haven't pre-ordered this. I wouldn't mind waiting for it to be coupon eligible but not sure if it'll last that long. Might apply some rewards points to it instead.

 

[Cixx]

That's what i did.

 

[Motuxmen]

Yea the 600 is limited to non vip online(but in Hong Kong for pick up). That does not include the amount sold at shows(five or six shows at least). The amount sold to VIP customers. The amount sold thru sideshow. So the number is probably 3-5 times that 600.

For any Aussies interested, this is now up for preorder at Popcultcha...

Strangely, this is the thing i'm looking forward to the most of HT SW at the moment. Not sure why, it looks awesome and it's Luke in ST disguise. Probably goes back to SS coming out with them some years ago and looking horrible and wanting them but passing cause of quality. And now finally the two how they SHOULD be done.

Han and Luke on display will be something great! (also would like to pose Luke in disguise with Ben saying goodbye.)

 

[Mike86]

Figures of characters in disguise were always cool to me so that's a big reason I like this figure. I remember back when I was a kid Kellogg cereals were running a promotion for Han in Trooper disguise which I saved UPC codes for and mailed away for. Also remember a similar promotion with Lays chips where you could mail away for a ghost of Obi-Wan figure. Unfortunately I brought that one to a friend's house and forgot it there and he never got it back to me.

 

[Cixx]

Weird i went to SS site earlier and this said low quantity alert. Went back 20 min later and it was back to normal. (glitch?)


Bring on Han!

I'm kinda getting myself around to buying this since I want more stormtroopers and might as well get this and have the option to display him as Luke. I know it was discussed earlier but any news on if he can be posed with the helmet on? I know it says interchangeable but the inside of the helmet doesn't really look like it has anything to connect it to the neck.

Will probably come come with a smaller dummy head you can pop on and then use the helmet. Similar to the mod most people did with the SSC version

Still waiting to order. I have ssc Han and Luke trooper 2 pack already. May just wait for Luke head to be released and put new head on ssc Luke trooper body. I don't know. If he is wait listed, then will jump on it, or if so called low stock alert.

Are people confident that his head can be swapped?

Same here. Those two were awesome. I wasnt living in the US, so i had to buy them from the local comic book shop at a hiked up price. I think i still have Ben lying somewhere

Are people confident that his head can be swapped?

I got the regular single stormtrooper. So regardless of the swappable head, im fine wih either way.

 

[slynger]

Are people confident that his head can be swapped?

The product description makes it seem so:

"One (1) interchangeable Stormtrooper helmet with mechanical details inside"

 

[jkno]

When the HT Luke in Stormie disguise is released and if anyone wants to sell the detailed helmet just PM me.

Does anyone think that this figure will sell slowly enough that we'll be able to use a coupon code on him in September?
