Congrats to all getting this. I decided to let this one go. Same sculpt as the Farmboy Luke. That one is more iconic to me. I just lost interest when they changed the sculpt.

How did they change the sculpt? I thought it was always the same sculpt as the farm boy? What was it supposed to be before?

We were unable to load the package on the plane as scheduled. / Your package was released by the clearing agency.

WTF does that mean exactly?

Looks like monday delivery is out the window.

Same report from my tracking details. At least, Luke was released by clearing agency while my FO stormtrooper has been stuck there since the 13th

I was so upset that I forgot to read the posts above.

I thought it was just mine that they inadvertently reversed over with the truck.

So all Luke Troopers are on hold?

Mine is out for delivery...still...it takes 2hrs to get from Sydney to Newcastle.so I hope in 4 hrs I will have him.
What is going on with all those other statuses?

At least two of my fellow french collectors are reporting the same issue. I guess at least part of the shipment is hiding somewhere at Chek Lap Kok clearing agency quarters

Mine was just delivered here in the states from Timcent. Can't wait to open this bad boy up. I got one coming from sideshow but needed an extra head. If anyone wants the rest including box pm me. It would be great for another short trooper.

Just arrived from SSC via Hong Kong here in Newcastle, Australia!
Thus completes my 5 figures within 5 days!

Few quick pics out of the box...

^^ Super clear pics - very nice.


I see what people mean about the sweat now - I never noticed it before. I wonder if was intentional or a slight error by HT. A wet face and hair might have made a decent trash compactor alt head, but not sure what the logic is for him to be sweaty? Don't remember him being that sweaty in the suit but haven't seen the movie in a while.

He's sweating when he removes his helmet during the "I'm Luke Skywalker , I'm here to rescue you" scene. Maybe that's what they went for?

You wonder about a great... many.... things.



When you start asking for a side-by-side picture of the Farmboy sculpt and the trooper sculpt, I will find you and slap you.

Must be still waiting for Obi-Wan to turn the Tractor Beam off...

 

[Glennfett]

Off topic...but can anyone explain why my pics rotated.
I took the pics..even checked in preview before posting.
it annoys the shizz out of me.
It is amazing that the sweat is so subtle to the human eye,yet the pics make it super detailed.
Hoping HT will do a Han Stormie reveal soon other than just on the inner sleeve packaging of Luke Stormie.

Would that be due to what happened in your country last week perhaps?just a thought...
Hot Toys bring amazing realism to their figures.The eyes alone amaze me everytime.

Well, according to my "reputation" now, I'm a rude troll who spreads negativity and generally contributes to a negative environment.

So "wonder" doesn't even make it into my top five, but feel free to slap me. Doesn't sound like it'll make a difference.

not sure if you are joking or not.... but do people seriously consider you a troll? You don't even do anything wrong.
