I got mine a month ago and was impressed. The head sculpts are great. The paint job makes them look like they are holding their breath or constipated but the overall likeness is there. I especially like the Luke sculpt. Spot on man!

The Han sculpt could use a little tweaking. Especially around the upper lip. He looks almost like a chimpanzee. Maybe it's mine but the prototype pics for the head sculpt did not look like this. I went ahead and swapped the head for a medicom cause I like the likeness and scale better. I also tightened up the chest armor a bit by using a heat gut and bending the armor around tighter to the waist. I pulled the straps off the top, cut the rubber pegs that hold it in place, and reglued them to the armor after bending the top in the from and back plates down a bit so it would ride closer to the neck. Once I did that the front and back pieces butted together and the straps were glued back on. I think it turned out well.

The only other thing I want to do is mold a marmot helmet and cod piece to change those out so I can have a removable helmet instead of just a prop for his hand.

I was a little dissapointes in sideshow for not giving Luke a height difference to Han. I had to take Luke competely apart and shorten the legs and remove the small midsection so his torso would show the height difference in the armor like in the movie. It's still a work in progress. I used the medicom stormtrooper midsection and thighs for this shot. I still need to tighten his armor.

Just won a set of these off eBay... only paid about $10 over retail so I can't complain too much. Hopefully I'll have them by next week

Nice! Congrats!!! I know you were looking for a while!

 

[Khev]

Dang at first I thought you said you got 'em for 10 bucks.

Thanks man... I think I got a bit burned out on SW figures by the last SDCC; but with some great recent releases I'm back to full force

Dang, I wish I could have said that

Got 'em in today. Have to say these are much nicer than I thought... I had a lot of fears over bad paint, messed up armor, etc. But the set looks great in person.

I had a spare Stormtrooper body, so I chopped about a 1/2" out of the thighs to give Luke a more accurate stature. And gave them a crotch grabber arm so it wouldn't interfere as much with the armor.

Really love how detailed the inside of the helmets are... bit of a bummer they can't wear them, but worth the trade-off imo.​

Just a hint. Don't leave them in the holding the helmet position too long. I did that and now there is a thumb print smear on the helmet where the thumb was.

 

[galactiboy]

Thanks for the tip!

I noticed that already happening May stick a bit of cellophane in between the helmet and hand.

 

[Darthrazz]

GB I like your poses! Can you explain or show how you chopped off a half inch in the thighs of the body?

I checked mine and yep, the paint was stuck to the thumb. I'll have to put something there if I want to put the helmet back in the hand.

Thanks for the heads-up!

 

[Deathstalker]

No prob.... I was a wee bit bummed when I found the thumbprints in the back of my helmets........

 

[jedijim3002]

Anybody want a Han stormtrooper head or reveal helmet? I like them but I'd rather put the Marmit helmet on and keep my medicom head.

 

[jedijim3002]

I'll probably be selling the Luke head soon since I'll be getting the dreaded Enterbay UU Luke soon.

Thanx for the pics, good shots, love 'em!
