SSC Luke Skywalker Snowspeeder Pilot Sixth Scale Figure

[Darthrazz]

I bet Sideshow will rerelease this again.

I bet Sideshow will rerelease this again.

Minus the helmeted head and for $30 more.

It’ll be the dagobah landing Luke.

Yeah, they were out - my guess is its a return or they found one or two.

They are like TA - seem to be out then one will become available for no apparent reason as if they found it in the stockroom.

They have a physical store which is in a separate location to their online warehouse and distribution centre so they may have had some sitting there not moving. They also send pop-up stores around the convention circuits so they may also be stock that made their way back to the warehouse from those too.

If I didn't already have one I'd be ordering that one at PC.

 

[Darthrazz]

I just picked this up, thanks for the heads up, I had $50 off with PC, so with shipping it came to $274. Cheaper than eBay and the same as Sideshow originally, or less.

You’ll be pleased. Good figure and a decent price. Pretty sure I did the exact same thing. Can’t remember if it was the $50 AUD coupon or one of the lower ones.

Yep. Take away extra head, add grappling gun.

Although in this case I'd also take a Hot Toys V1

Update, Popcultcha cancelled my order. They state that the figure arrived from the warehouse damaged beyond sellable point...bummer. I was looking forward to it, they did however give me a 10% off coupon for my next purchase.

I feel lucky getting this guy for €240 and relieved that a guy with zero feedback on eBay wasn’t a fraud [emoji6]
I think this could end up being one of my favorite figures.

 

[RIDDICK]

He looks really freakin' cool on the shelf for sure.

 

[VivAdama]

His only flaw for me is the thickness of the jacket's sleeves. Other than that, this guy still is my favorite.

I actually really like the thickness. It’s the feel of a real winter jacket. But it does restrain posing. I see what people mean by the quality of the belt and maybe the helmet paint job, but the shelf presence of this guy is out of this world!

Yeah, and the jacket is not that thick looking in the movie.
Helmet can be repainted yes, but in a detolf, from my couch it looks good enough! ^^

I um... actually cut the sleeves off the X-Wing pilot inner suit to fix that.

They should have done a no-sleeves version of the X-Wing jumpsuit to thin the arms.

Also, keep in mind that there are two distinct jacket looks in the movie - a fat/puffy cold weather shoot version for Hoth location filming (e.g. crashed snowspeeder,) then a no-undersuit version where the jacket looks thinner for scenes like arrival on Dagobah.

It has a number of flaws and errors, but really is a staggeringly good figure in hand. I always say it's in my top five all-time 1/6 figures I've ever seen. It really does feel like you're snatched Luke from under that ATAT and you're holding him in your hand.

Yes, quite honestly he steals the show from all the HT figures surrounding him here.

 

[jedijim3002]

Looks awesome!

 

[VivAdama]

Talibane, do you have pics of yours after the sleeves mod?

 

[VivAdama]

Okay, here my heavily modded Luke.
Arms and legs shortened, outfit weathered, snow added on the boots and stand, and i removed the suit's sleeves. I'll call it done, i don't want to make a mistake and be disapointed.
