1/6 SSC ROTJ Luke Skywalker Deluxe Sixth Scale Figure

[guyver1]

What’s with the scar on his face

 

[Jamielov]

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think it’s a good V2 or anything but the quality of the saber is so inexplicable that’s the only thing that came to mind. And they’ve been making a correctly painted ROTJ one with their R2 figures, granted I haven’t seen the recent batches but this is the one that came with R2 when it was released a few years ago. Sideshow has been known to get creative and do interpretations of parts (Scout knee armor, for example).

Yeah, based on those additional pictures, that's definitely the Hero they were going for. The V2 didn't have the control box with the arrows on the side, it was actually a graflex clamp with a longer lever than the empire Luke saber, and also was devoid of any color except silver and black paint. Comically they just did such a crap job painting theirs that it sort of resembles the V2 in the upper level grenade area, but that's due to laziness and sloppiness, not the actual paint job they were going for.

Just so Sideshow doesn't get any undeserved credit, lol, for the paint job/saber confusion, the V2 also was devoid of any copper color in the area of the control box and a different activation/clamp card. They just didn't care enough to give the included hero saber a nice looking paint job.

Regardless of all the conversations going on about the good/bad of this figure...since you have it in hand, wondering if you are satisfied with it? Photos are one thing, but having it in hand, I'm curious if it's a figure folks can be happy with

I don’t think anyone is happy with it

It's better than I expected based on the pictures I have seen. As I mentioned earlier, I used reward points and got this for around $100 shipped. So yeah, I'm satisfied. I don't think it's worth $235 though.

I got this for the Endor accessories. I plan on using this sculpt, HT cloak(hood up), 2006 Jedi outfit for Jabba's palace Luke. HT Luke for throne room Luke. So this set gives me three Luke's I can have on display. So for what I am wanting to do, this set has a lot of value.

Last unfutzed shot. I don't think he is bulky at all. Sculpt isn't great, but will look good under the hood.

Can that tunic be pulled down/smoothed out a bit?

 

[Chakaman]

Can that tunic be pulled down/smoothed out a bit?

Yes. These pics are straight out of the box, no futzing or water treatment.

 

[jedibear]

Thanks! Other than the bunching up in the front, it's not bad.

 

[Chakaman]

No problem JB.

Comparison. Both figures with no mods or futzing....

What's with the giant belt pouch on the SS? Did Luke have a fanny pack?

And isn't it on the wrong side? The HT Luke has it on the opposite side.

Yeah that really sticks out to me too. Even after some futzing and ironing, I get the impression the outfit would still retain that ripply kind of look, just because of the material used.

The pouch can be moved around to the other side of the belt. As I said, quick out of the box pictures.

 

[Chakaman]

Here he is with the Endor poncho on.

One thing that surprises me is that the SSC figure has better proportions. HT's Luke has a huge head and monkey arms... just like the old Sideshow Luke!
If I had the money and inclination, just judging from pics, I'd probably use the SSC body and black outfit with HT's headsculpt, boots and accessories.

Now, THIS I like. But can't do it for $235. I'll wait for HT for my Endor Luke. Much better quality for the money.

great pics chaka, thank you.

I would want to see the HT belt and sculpt on SSC throne room body.

I believe that could look great.

That HT's luke has the shoulder dropped down, its proportioned just fine

Had no idea the saber was that weathered in the film ..when the emperor had it on his chair it looked brand new ..so I guess SSC continued their take on accuracy
