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

[Asta]

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.

TaliBane, I'm very disappointed. You've let yourself down, and you've let the forum down.

You're not the bad boy we were expecting when we hired you.

 

[TaliBane]

Sorry, just venting - but yes, alas, that's what it now says in my Reputation. Sorry to derail thread.


Now, back on topic... the sweat makes this Tom Cruise figure look AWFUL and anyone who buys it is

 

[Glennfett]

But...THIS figure is waaaay better than Tom Cruise...

The only question I have is are we gonna be saying the same "looks like Cruise!" thing for the TFA Luke fig?

Let's check in on the Cruise Vs. Hamill, circa 2015...

Is that last guy Zac Effron?..........

Actually cannot wait til HT reveal Master Luke...ROTJ and TFA versions!

Yeah, I think Scientologists actually have access to a time machine - so that's actually Cruise from 1995, but photographed in 2015.

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.

It did cross my mind. Yet, Kuat experiencing the same issue tend to rule out that eventuality.

I don't know if I would rule out a possible connection; what's happening in Paris isn't happening in a vacuum and has global implications that could effect all sorts of things around the world.

By the way, my thoughts and prayers are with all those who are hurting in Paris, and all over France, right now.

Looks pretty good man I bet you someone will just decide to make a custom farm boy Luke like that and use the Stormtrooper as just a Stormtrooper.

Looks good - neck looks a bit short? Maybe it's just the angle. I was thinking of using this head for my Yavin Luke like that, but after I saw how they made it sweaty, and because I would need to get a body anyway, I am just thinking about getting a second farm boy instead.

very interesting pics Jim, it will suit some of the figures not others, it looks good on Hoth Luke maybe.. hmm...

I just opened mine too, the detail on it os beautiful, it's much nicer in hand I must say than any of the pics had led me to believe.

It feels like there's a connection. Packages from Hong Kong seem to land at a giant hub in Cologne. Germany, as with France and the UK, is currently on high alert.

Checking of packages bound for Europe is probably more thorough at the moment, so even though they've all cleared outward customs, they haven't been screened for nasties.

Looks like an update telling you that nothing's changed. At least he's not gone missing!

It was thoughtful of you to have a girlfriend waiting for Luke.

It's funny I've never gotten a figure early from Hong Kong before but it seems like they use an extremely thin cardboard for the shipper sleeve. Not sure why that is but every Hot Toys figure I've gotten from SS the shipper has been much beefier.

 

[galactiboy]

And don't forget... that UU Luke was the low, low price of $300 and came with a whopping 3 sets of hands, a lightsaber and droid caller.
