E-mail them, JB. There's a "suggest a product" link on the site.

But I would say it's not far away - I mean they reissue stuff that's questionable, this one's a no-brainer. The long period of no reissue is probably a good thing - probably means they are making changes like V2 Fett and Bossk. Hopefully a new unhelmeted headsculpt.

Or they can trot out the old logic they used when eliminating the light-up Boba base for the v2.

“We eliminated the second head to keep that special for the buyers of the first fig.”

But then also charge the same price or more on the v2.

Maybe something in the material or process was not cost effective?

At the time the vast majority said either "I'll wait for in hand pics because Sideshow always stuff up human figures" or "I'll pass and wait for the inevitable deep discount, free shipping and use a coupon". I have no doubt Sideshow saw the very low preorder numbers and cut production accordingly. As such it was one of the only Sideshow Star Wars figures in recent years to go to waitlist before it was even released.

I agree, any V2 will not have a second headsculpt. I'm not sure what they would try and change on the figure itself though as it was fantastic. Maybe slightly better weathering. I can't seem them adding the missing accessories that should have come with the original release either.

Ohhh so it's a Sideshow cynic.

They'll reissue this minus the snow jacket and with only the unhelmeted head.

Really hope not - the snow jacket is 100% HT quality. My one concern is that both the Bossk and Vader DX V2's had inferior jumpsuits. It would be unfortunate if they changed the snow jacket.

This was what, $270? I wouldn't pay that much for this even with the low numbers they made.

If I remember correctly was the dagobah environment around that 275 price?

It's a nice fig, i keep checking this thread for any rerelease news, but I think they would probably charge even more the 2nd time around.

I’d buy the Endor Luke and/or an accessory pack in addition to the Jedi Luke. Can never have enough Lukes.

Damn, now you just need Crait and Ach-To Luke

Here’s a few pic’s with my custom Snow Speeder from Phil’s Customs.

Is that a custom made speeder?

I wouldn’t mind getting Crait Luke but Ach-to doesn’t float my boat.

I really love the Ach-To Luke as well as the Crait Luke as I have both in pre order now

 

[parrasmaniac]

when you say, Ach-To, which Luke do you mean? ceremony Luke or "hobo" Luke?

 

[TonTon]

Since he said pre-order seems clear it's Hobo. I think most people still call the ceremony version "TFA Luke" for clarity since that's his only costume in that movie.

OK. Understood. Sorry!

I think the sculpt is really great on that one... we'll see!

On Hobo? Me too, think it's the best of the three old Luke figures.

No need to apologize, didn't mean for my post to come across the way it probably did.

 

[parrasmaniac]

yes I meant that one. Cheers!

Let's just have some clear definitions for the three Hot Toys Luke versions from the ST so there's no confusion:

Hobo Luke
Obi Wan Skywalker Luke
Just for Men Luke

 

[TonTon]

- Homeless Luke
- Just got a weekend job as small-town Jedi Luke
- How both those Luke’s imagine themselves

 

[TaliBane]

- Unabomber Luke
- Kris Kristofferson Luke
- Chuck Norris (late period) Luke
