Definitely a body swap...

Stick to ripping down figures....not other people.

I wonder if the clothes would still fit right on a shorter body???

It'll probably work okay because the jacket looks like it might be a bit too short and the trousers go into boots.

Tie pilot and at at driver were both giants too. A sideshow body swap for one reason or another is as sure a thing as bending over when the time comes to pay for shipping.

Sean should just face the fact that is glory days on youtube are over. His video's are just an awkward, rushed mess. With no thought put into what he's gonna say. He just rambles on. He's also very biased. Everything he gets for free is 'awesome'. I can't take this hack seriously.

Sean is a fellow collector so I don't see the point in ripping on him as a person simply because I don't prefer his style of reviewing. He seems like a really cool guy to have a beer with and talk about collecting. However, this is the Internet, so I get why some people feel the insatiable urge to use the anonymous platform to personally denigrate and tear down others; likely as an outlet to feel better about what they feel are their own personal shortcomings.

That being said, I used to watch his reviews, but I do think he tends to be a little too excited and doesn't give a level headed assessment of the figure. It's almost as if he's blinded by the exuberance of receiving a new figure and is eager to give it a glowing review, rather than an accurate review. Then again, what one person may see as a positive could be a negative to others and vice versa, so sometimes it can be subjective. Just because something is a negative to you about the figure doesn't necessarily mean others see it the same way or again, vice versa.

 

[CrovaxNL]

He really seems like a nice guy. But he is not a good reviewer.

 

[LipSmack]

Seans odd, sure, but hes a true geek, one of us, so eh.

Plus no matter how bad he is, hes no optibotimus. Also glad to see he got his sideshow sponsorship back after all that shady ******** paul pulled, snake

I'll buy some more Disney Elite Series Krennic figures as the smaller body is pretty useful.

The uniforms are also fodder for more imperial officers.

(Incidentally, Disney UK has Rey, Jyn and Kylo down to £10. Kylo looks useless, but the girls might have potential as bodies and parts).

I was counting on the body swap, so that is not big news for me. Overall I love how the figure looks.

Sideshow just does as it is expected from them: lousy paint on the heads, lousy lightsaber hilt, lousy boots. Terrible scale with the body.

I feel lucky though, that those are aspects that I can fix.

I really like the helmet and helmeted head. Could be better, yes.

 

[parrasmaniac]

The jacket also looks better than in other photos.

Lightsaber detail, not good:



Unhelmeted head, not good. Still Dx07 heads will be very sought after... maybe until Hot Toys does make the Jedi Luke face?
Don't know, maybe this head is not so bad on hand.
Seems to be at least as good as the previous Hoth Luke.



Is this someplace where the leg strap can be fit?

 

[parrasmaniac]

The gloves seem to be also poorer than the previous Hoth Luke release. How weird.

 

[Hoody999]

Well there's the proof right there that SS didn't show the unhelmeted head at any Cons.

 

[bmarz1000]

That was painful. Does the helmet come off or not?

 

[Jaymig926]

Wow looks like I'm cancelling for the price I can't do it

 

[Jaymig926]

Just IMO sideshows Indy has a great sculpt and paint app. What's going on sideshow. ?

 

[Tee-Kay]

Those height issues are just ridiculous. As much as i can live with it when it comes to faceless troopers, it becomes unacceptable when human characters are concerned. It's especially true with legendary characters such as Luke. Pure carelessness from Sideshow.

Did swap Hoth Han and Luke back in the days but am wondering what current body could be used for this Snowspeeder Luke. Any recommendation?

Maybe this is why SS created a Wait List. They were expecting cancellations once the figure was reviewed.

Yeah no kidding they really screwed up with his height didn't they.
