It's the Vader life size bust.

Luke Stormy came today (and my set of Planetary plates from Thinkgeek *giggity). Another awesome figure from HT with one caveat: his hair shines under light and looks gold, kind of weird that they went that route with the paint ap but it doesn't look horrible - just makes you stop and go "hmmmm". Thinking in terms of reality though, everyone's hair generally shines like this (unless of course it goes unwashed for a few days). All of the accessories are great and done very well. Careful with the part on the belt that holds the comlink - I had to carefully pinch the two pieces together because it came too wide to hold said comlink but all is good now. One special accessory that I did not know it would come with (first photo) is a piece that fits in the helmet which allows you to transform Luke into a regular Stormtrooper, so this guy is very, very versatile as he comes with the grappling hook and the grenade! Took photos both inside with flash and outside for the natural light.

^Agreed. Looks more accurate to the actors hair color. Bespin Luke had a similar hair application in that the base coat was gold with dark washes.

Has anyone posted pix of how the grappling hook works? I looked through both this thread and the other HT Luke thread, but didn't see anything posted yet.

It's designed to switch out. Helmet has internal detailing so there would likely be lots of paint damage on both ends if that was tried.

Yea, I've been looking for this in both threads too- seems like it has cool posing possibilities, but I haven't seen it yet.

As long as he's got that classic Han jerk smirk, that's fine by me.
Nice pics, Dr. Nash.

Went onto sideshows live chat yesterday to ask about paying my final payment that evening rather than wait until the 20th for it. Very good service as they did it there and then and told me it should ship in 48-72 hours.
Not likely to get it before Christmas though as I'm in the UK

Mine's just turned up from Forbidden Planet, and it's the Sideshow Exclusive version, happy days! There's a small scuff on the left side of the breastplate, but I can live with that. Beautiful figure. The Luke headsculpt is superb in hand, with a light "sweating" effect on the paintwork. Really brings it to life. The Stormtrooper helmet is incredibly detailed, and the fact you can swap heads is a real bonus.
