SSC Luke Skywalker Snowspeeder Pilot Sixth Scale Figure

[parrasmaniac]

I am really looking forward to try this setup with snowspeeder Luke instead. Yoda, snowtrooper, Vader, and him.

I don't know. That looks pretty awesome. Have you put the Luke HT head sculpt on another body ? And where did you get that Yoda ?

hi, thank you. Yes, the Dx07 head is on a Hot Toys Boba Fett body, together with a custom wig.

Yoda is SSC christmas Yoda, with Jedi Master clothes.

I'd be pretty happy with them as they are. Although I had the same idea of a scene with HT Yoda, ESB Luke and R2 together.

Your picture also made me realise that a black Jedi Luke also looks awesome. Also something to wait on from HT once they get to ROTJ.

I have a feeling we'll get something pretty close to that custom. I'm surprised we haven't seen anything yet as one of the boardies leaked some hints quite a while back regarding a Hot Toys Jedi Luke. Sounded like the proto was ready to be shown but nothing ever materialized.

 

[Hoody999]

If that is released by HT, and the price is more reasonable than the SS Luke then I'm definitely in. As sweet as that ESB flight helmet is......

I think i know why hot toys is waiting for jedi luke.. they know it will sell like hot cakes, but they want people to buy multiple Luke's. If they had released jedi luke first less people would have bought the new hope version or any other version they plan to release. Only the die hard collectors will buy every single version, which will mean less sales in the long run.

I had hoped to get an extra jacket from this fig for my Walrusman custom, but just read in the Costumes book that it's a totally different (though vaguely similar) jacket - the Walrusman jacket was off-the-rack, whereas the Hoth jackets were custom made.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I always thought they were the same jacket as well.

 

[jedijim3002]

Walrus man, or Ponda Baba, did not have the puffy collar that the snowspeeder pilots had. PB's jacket was more like Luke's ceremonial jacket with regards to the collar but it does look like it's the same material as the snowspeeder jackets. Plus PB's had a pocket with a flap and the others did not.

Great ref pics, Jim. I just did a close look at these jackets because I totally rebuilt the Hasbro Walrusman jacket.

The differences between the ANH and ESB jacket sleeves (the only part visible in ESB) seem subtle but are more noticeable side-by-side - the sleeve ribbing on the ANH jacket is more puffy (like sausages,) whereas the ESB jacket is more like interlocked louvers. The ribbing ends a bit higher on the ANH jacket sleeve (around elbow) whereas it goes further down the sleeve on the ESB (like mid forearm.) And the ribbing is about 50% wider on the ANH jacket than on the ESB jacket.

The ESB is a copy of the ANH, but maybe the difference just comes down to the ANH jacket being factory-designed/produced while the ESB ones just being made in the ESB costume department and it was the closest they could get to matching it.

So i received a $20 code sticker on the box of my Mark 7 sub zero figure that was delivered. I see this figure and the jedha stormtrooper single and 2 pack is on the list of figures it works on but the rogue one vader is not. Does that seem odd that these figures would be on the list but not vader? I might just have to use the coupon on this figure and my reward points on the vader.

I hope this is as good as Maul.

He is guaranteed to look like that...after 3 hours of photoshop!

When does this ship? Waiting for in-hand photos. I haven't picked up any Sideshow 1:6 figures in more than a year, but their sculpts seem to have gotten better. However if they are going to charge HT prices they need to match HT quality.

 

[TaliBane]

Says March 2017.

Really hope they decide to include the harpoon gun. Seems like such an obvious addition to this figure that would help justify that outrageous price.

What's the best jacket to use for a custom - the ceremonial Luke from Sideshow or the ceremonial Luke jacket from Hasbro?

I would say the sideshow. What custom are you making?
