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

[Darthrazz]

Oh man, I guess no stormy Luke for Christmas.

Most impressive.

Awesome collection kuat. I'm seriously considering this Luke. Probably can't swing it before the new year though.

I see you reside in Gloucester, that's my old stomping ground (tredworth)from many moons ago.

I love these trooper figs!

If I end up with 20 of them like Canadaclone, I'll make sure that each one is different.

TIE Pilot should arrive today. Sandtrooper possibly this year, depending whether UPS put their best cyclist on the job.

I'm actually quite a long way from Gloucester, but that seems to be the nearest delivery depot. Hence my deliveries arrive later afternoon. And yesterday the TIE Pilot didn't make it in time and they took him back to Gloucester.

That Gloucester tractor beam
Yes awesome troopers. I have the sand trooper/space trooper and Vader on po. Plus I just broke my 'baddies' only rule by ordering Chewie. Even I can't justify another before Christmas.......I don't think

Rules are meant to be broken. Especially for Chewie - he's such a good looking figure.

with his helmet on is he a exact match for the short trooper in the two pack? accessories aside. i missed out on the pack and am debating on getting a trooper set with him and the eventual Han i think

I'm guessing the eyes are painted on the helmet rather than translucent.

Didn't think about that. Could someone with this Luke comment on this? Just need to shine a light through the helmet.

I'd love to know for one. It's a semi deal breaker for me.

 

[Tom Day]

Could anyone tell me if this Luke can wear his helmet or swap it with the head? Or is it just an 'accessory' for him to hold?

It can be swapped on with an included neck plug.

Thank you for the info.

The eyes are translucent green plastic. They show green when light hits them.

However, unlike the regular troopers, you can't shine a light from the inside as there's internal plastic detailing covering them. Which probably makes them react no differently to a regular trooper's helmet once it's fixed to the guy's neck blocking out the light.

Thank you for the info. Much appreciated!

I have one coming next week I think but nice to know ahead of time. Thanks Kuat! Planning to make a Han custom until they release one. So I'll have sweaty nervous Luke and cool hand Han in trooper disguise.

I've seen a handful of people talking about how the likeness on Farmboy Luke is better than Stormtrooper Luke, but...aren't they the exact same sculpt?

 

[hokietwo]

its hard to tell. The farm boy Luke has a removable scalp so there could be some subtle differences in the shape of the head vs the solid sculpt on the trooper. The main viable difference is the side look of the eyes which i tend to not like in the sculpts. I prefer a straight on or upward look for head sculpts as side looking eyes tends to force the head to certain angles to avoid a creepy stare.

Like AOU Cap for example (though Luke is not that pronounced), Steve looks very pervy and a **** with the offset eyes, very locked in on something.

Fine with me, so long as they give us han first.
