Luke Skywalker: Jedi Knight - Image Thread

Thank god he don't look that bad in person.. my lord!!!

You know why he's making that face?:

"Come to Momma!"


You'd look like that too if you saw Yarna D'al' Gargan aka Jabba's sexpot wanting to ravish your skinny little ass in all her naked, 6-boobied glory! It's a wonder he didn't faint!

to get the topic away from that fat...
I recently discovered I had some 12" figures from when I was a kid...hoth luke and a tie fighter pilot..probably made by hasbro or mattel or whoever handled them. Are these worth anything?

 

[galactiboy]

No not really... my guess is they are from the mid-90's on? Even boxed they are probably not worth the original retail. Although the Hoth Luke is a decent figure and can look good if upgraded.

And on the topic of the ROTJ Luke, I still think he is one of Sidehow's best. If the long arms and bear paw had been fixed I think he'd be tops.

Also, its said that older faces are supposed easier (subjective term to be sure) to sculpt since there are more defining features to sculpt. That is why some people like Ford or Hamill are considered harder to sculpt.

I sure wish Sideshow would come out with a new version of Jedi Luke...

You think it's so bad that we need another one? I didn't think he was that bad. I don't particularly care for the open mouth, but I thought the likeness was the best Mark Hamill of the four Lukes that have been released (Bespin Luke is a close second, ANH Luke could have been first if the eyes would have been painted better). That's another thing, we already have four Lukes this early in the line, if we have to have another Luke, I prefer an X-Wing Pilot or Hoth version. I personally don't want to see Sideshow become Hasbro by continuously tweaking their figures and re-releasing them.

Anyone notice the Buffet table behind her?

There's a lot that could be done much better.

Smaller head size (that thing is totally out of scale), new Prometheus body, the flap in front could be done a lot better it looks like it was just slapped on (the Medicom figure looks great here, except for the velcro), and a new gray tunic (the one with Jedi Luke is too blue and hemmed too wide). Give him the Endor helmet and poncho and it's gold.

And redo the boots. They look very flat in detail compared to what they're doing now (like the Rebel Fleet Trooper's).

While I do agree with your suggestions for improvement, I just don't want to see them start re-doing figures this early in the line. I'd rather them devote time to figures we don't have yet like Chewbacca, Dooku, PT & OT Yoda, Tarkin, Lando, 3PO, R2, Boba, Jango, Emperor with Throne, Grievous, Saesee Tiin, Shaak Ti, Agen Kolar, Luminara Unduli, Clone Commanders, etc.

 

[cerealkeller]

I agree on all counts. I want a new Jedi Luke, but down the line. Perhaps as a 5 year anniversary of Sideshow having the license or something. The likeness is awesome, but I want a better expression, especially if you want to display him in a dynamic pose. But I want Lando, Tarkin, etc. first before double dipping occurs.

 

[Memnoch]

That's actually not a bad idea. Do Endor Luke as a 5 year anniversary figure!

I agree. I can live with my Jedi Luke. While he's not "perfect," I'd rather Sideshow spend the time to visit other characters from the vast Star Wars universe than backtrack.

Good old Jedi Luke... That's the figure that got me into this 12" thing. I completely stumbled across the pre-order for the exclusive by accident. Well, I most definitely hadn't planed on buying it, but when I came across it on the SSC site, I did. And how many 12" have I gotten since then? 60? 70? 80? I don't know. I should count the boxes one day.

 

[OSCORP]

Luke is a great figure despite it's flaws. Which makes it a strong figure indeed!

 

[Amanaman]

It was also sensibly priced. They need to revisit him again sometime, in his Endor get-up, with an updated portrait, maybe by Trev, who's done a wonderful job on the ANH stuff.

 

[icruise]

He's a fine figure, especially for a first effort. (Repainting the eyes does help a lot with the expression.)

I don't want Sideshow to redo him at all. It's really not necessary, and their figures are supposed to be limited edition. You can't just come back years later and make a "new and improved" version. That's what got Master Replicas in trouble.

 

[Karaduin]

Still waiting to get a Yavin Luke for cheap off eBay or somewhere so I can swap Jedi Luke onto the body to get the arms looking better.

 

[DarthNeil]

Got my second Jedi Luke (thanks coolkansaswind) so now I've got my first one in my Jabba display and this second one in his all black end of ROTJ with my heroes of the rebellion section.



It's really good to have two.

 

[JustinLuck]

Still my favorite of the Luke's released thus far.
