SSC Luke Skywalker Snowspeeder Pilot Sixth Scale Figure

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Nice pics Indy. Very apparent there is a serious scale issue here, I would like to see what a body swap would do. Every pic next to x wing reminds me of....

Both of those do look pretty good... for Sideshow, at least. And looks to me like the Snowspeeder outfit would work perfectly fine on a slightly shorter body.

I don't care what anyone says. This sculpt screams Mark Hamill ESB!! Well done SSC cannot wait to get this!

This right here is the only reason I'm considering getting it. The helmet is like makeup for an ugly chick. Just put the makeup on. Lol. Looks fantastic.

You mean the one covered up by the helmet, visor, and chinstrap...

I mean the one that looks like Mark Hamill and not his stunt double.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Best ever hamill likeness

Both figures look great here. Either, depending on preference, either is fantastic.

I like the richer color of the orange on the X-wing, but I love the bulky Hoth jacket look.


I do believe a body swap to a shorter body will only make the Snowspeeder outfit look better, and allow the jacket to hang where it should.

Thanks TFH. I think you guys are right, it does look like the clothes could be moved to a shorter body alright. Like their very own X-wing Luke body. Not sure why they didn't use it.

I'm really glad they gave him articulated ankles this time around. It really does help with posing the legs. Another thing I used to be concerned about is that the jacket would look too puffy on the final figure. Happily that's not the case at all.

Did anyone get an instruction manual? Mine doesn't have any. I wanted to see what it would say about the helmet if it's removable or not.

Any chance you could show a pic of the figure with the helmetless head?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Eager to see the first one stripped down, to know how easy a head/hand swap will be.

I'm actually not home at the moment, but I'll be getting more pictures of him soon for sure. But in the short while I was able to check him out, the neck peg came out of the body instead of just the head. Guess I'm gonna need pliers unfortunately.

I'm sure that once this has been out a few months and freaks have had a chance to mess around with him we will see some superb pictures of this guy. I for one can't wait to get futzing!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's for sure. This figure will really kick *** when some futzing gets going. And some fake snow.

I actually think that the outfit it pretty spot on. As several other freaks have mentioned with a good eye for detail, Luke Snowspeeder outfit was "puffy"

 

[SilverStar17]

Does look pretty accurate actually based on that film grab.

I PO'd this when it first came out so I suppose the only thing I could do is just wait to see how it looks in hand as opposed to just judging it off of a bunch of pictures, and from there decide whether it stays or immediately goes.

The outfit looks pretty nice overall. And yeah in that pic luke looks pretty puffy. But that is literally the only screenshot I could find that makes snowspeeder luke look like he spent the last 30 days on the super-size me diet. After a basic search all other snowspeeder pics have luke looking pretty normal in size.

I guess to me it isn't necessarily the puffiness that is the problem. It's the puffiness combined with the silly height. He pretty plainly looks too big, the shots next to x wing leave no doubt of this. I would like to see him next to hot toys vader. On a smaller body with some futzing I'm sure it can be mitigated.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Definitely like to know what's under the jacket and flightsuit if anything.

Looks like Sideshow's attempt at a Temple of Doom guard to go with their Indy.

$300 and no sword.

Like SilentSurfer said the jacket does actually have a slight amount of weathering. It's not a lot though, but it helps a bit in person. For articulation, just like the X-wing figure the fatsuit under the outfit hinders the range of movement at the hips. And the chest greeblie is on the figure indeed, but you can't see it as it's under the vest.

Posed and displayed, this figure looks great. With the helmeted head on I think this figure displays as good as a HT.

Anyone seen Talibane around? He used to post on this thread all the time.

... just like the X-wing figure the fatsuit ...

ooops. So this may also have a fat suit in the end!

this was "the fat suit", in case you need to add one!

Unfortunately so it seems. It does look great and it's not like you can't pose him, but the articulation there does suffer.
