1/6th Scale Sideshow Hoth Luke Skywalker (Echo Base)

[Timemeddler]

I recently picked up this figure myself, and immediately transplanted in the Hot Toys ROTJ Luke sculpt and he now looks ACE!!!

That looks really good. I swapped the stock head for the battle damaged Bespin head, but i think it's maybe time for an upgrade. I do like having the PERS on the Bespin head though.

It makes a world of difference. Looks fantastic.

I see that you've updated Han's sculpt with a Jnix, as well. No more Juan Solo.

Yes indeed, Sir!

Superb!
Can you please post more pics of your tauntaun?

I'd certainly get HT versions of both (I always seem to find a use for a second or even third version of the same character/outfit - e.g. I'd put my SSC Han Hoth aimed at the probe droid and use the HT version for the "hero display") but I do think most elements of the Sideshow figures are pretty decent.

I have a couple of extras of that HT head I've been meaning to try on my Luke Hoth but other than the off skintone I don't mind the likeness on the Sideshow original head.

Seems impossible to get a Jinx head. Really need a new head for my custom Bespin Han.

His ESB version of Han had some issues. His ANH version is the bullseye, just stunningly good, though the hair on it isn't all that accurate for ESB.

I just got this two. I like it very much. (I know I need to futz them)

I just swapped Luke to the HT TTM22 body (what a pain in the @$$ remove the ankle peg), but I noticed Luke's binoculars fake leather it's all cracked. It's there a way to restore it?

Finally, what product works for moisture the belt and gun holster? (To prevent the same issue)

That looks great! I was wondering what it would look like with the Jedi sculpt. I swapped mine out with a dx07 body and head years ago. I posted my progress in this thread.

Did you lighten up the Han face? The stock faces are a little beyond passable... except for that truly horrendous purplish/dark-tan skintone paint and the weird glassy eyes.

Looks like my mods started back in March of 2015. Wow. Those were the days.

 

[Centrocal]

I remember that. You had those velcro strips on the vest

Yup. Removed the snaps and added Velcro.

Help me Collector Freaks... you're my only hope.


By the way, Jedijim, I ordered the velcro, and will do some of the mods you did in the mod thread.

Thanks in advance!

No problem. Always like the sharing aspect of this hobby’s community. I get a lot of inspiration from the members on these boards. Any good ideas are worth sharing.

I’m not willing to muck up one of my HT heads, but I’ve seen KOs of the ROTJ head on eBay. Have you ever cut into those?

Nope. Stock Sideshow head. Would love an upgrade in this if Hot Toys makes it better.
