SSC Luke Skywalker Snowspeeder Pilot Sixth Scale Figure

[teleray]

Mine arrives on Friday. I'll post some pics of the un-helmeted sculpt.

Please do... unacceptability and all

Can we get a photo of the head without the helmet? Is the helmet a seperate piece capable of being held like the x-wing pilot?

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Any chance you could still take a picture of this unacceptable head?

How can you expect Derek to photograph it, even sideshow refuses to put it on display at toy shows!

 

[bmarz1000]

Seriously all we keep seeing is the "At Bat" pose with the lightsaber and the helmet on.

I liked the first initial pics of this that came out, but the more pics I see, the more unimpressed with it I become. At this point, the helmeted sculpt is the only thing about it that looks good to me.

I'll wait until I get it in hand to decide whether or not I keep it or immediately sell it.

Unhelmet i 'm not accept

The helmeted head looks more like Dak than Luke.

Pretty good review. IMHO I don't think the head sculpt looks as bad as people are making it out to be.

From what I can see this unhelmeted head suffers from the same kind of blah paint work that the X-Wing Luke had. It's not terrible, but it's got a slightly fuzzy washed out look. The eyes in particular seem very dull compared to what they could be.

It's not terrible, but it certainly does not look as high-end as the paintwork on the prototype... and for $270 anything less than perfect is not acceptable.

Much better review there. Better lighting too.

Another hand modeler but the review did provide good information. The bare headed sculpt is not good. The paint apps may be hurting it further. The hair looks like it could be removable and hurts the sculpt as well.

I do like the leather belt and pouches. They look very well done. I also like the way the boots rotate at the ankles, allowing additional posing options and still looking good.

I think it's the best 1/6 head sculpt sideshows done

I looked them up. They're called "Y" stands:

I had never seen those before either, but they seem like a nice discreet small footprint option.

 

[galactiboy]

Hmmm... I'd have called 'em V stands; at least for the ladies

 

[Asta]

I think the helmeted sculpt looks really good in that video. So much better than the unhelmeted.

The open mouth helps, and, as with X-Wing Luke, the visor improves the eyes.

 

[galactiboy]

Similar to X-Wing Luke... looks great in the helmet; not so much w/o it.

Can anyone who already has the figure in hand confirm wether it comes with the un gloved hands and glove sculpts please?
