Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[OSCORP]

Ok, so the ****ty Luke pics are that of proto's sent for customs in Japan? Correct?

 

[OSCORP]

Thank god!

So i was correct in assuming those pics were suspect! (as were a few others here)

 

[SwedishHeat]

Yes custom prototypes and the someone on HTs staff mistakenly put them up for display.

And if you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you

 

[Science Friction]

Yeah, gonna say.. b/s on that. I'll believe it when I see what shows up in hand here in the US.

Like you have some kind of reason to believe otherwise?

Let's jump to conclusions...


whoops it's a Hot Toys thread...


conclusions have already been made, stated as fact and pontificated on.


Carry on boys.


See ya' when in hand pictures drop.(real pictures sic.)

I guess you guys are calling JC Hong a liar then?

Let's be clear, Japan is one of the last market to get production HT release. It doesn't make sense for Japan to be the first to get a production figure when not even HK has it yet.

In order news, a HT figure will be out in HK today at 3pm. DX7 or DX12? We will know later.

I bring some good news. I spoke with one of the administrator of One Sixth Republic and got confirmation that the Luke in those pics are indeed a prototype. A korean member of OSR who is friends with JC Hong verified that with JC Hong. He actually posted about it at OSR but as usual it got buried under all the panic.

Most importantly, the guy who took those pics in Tokyo actually posted multiple times that the figure looks fantastic there and his pictures do not do the figure justice.

He has since deleted those pictures from his FB due to the ****storm those pictures have caused. He is feeling really bad about it.

So those rumours about Howard delaying Luke production is not true.

That's for the detective work noise!



Were getting a good Luke after all. (what a scare though eh?)

Anyone have a good recipe for crow?

Did any of you guys actually cancel it already due to those pictures posted a few days ago?

Not i.

But i would have had those been real. Again thanks to noise for easing fears around here.

Don't think Rory is gonna like this post!

never pre-order anything from any company without in-hand pictures. They don't lie. (unless Devil photo-shops something hydeous and funny, and then it's a def. purchase.)

It would be unwise to have faith in a for profit business to produce the best possible product they can 10 times out of 10. So yes, I do.

So, when Howard Chan said Black Widow would have sculpted hair, then a few weeks later she was revealed and she had rooted hair. . .

Would you say that Howard Chan was lying?

I really think Hot Toys will say whatever they need to, to make a buck. I'm not faulting them for it, they're a savvy group of businessfolk. I'm just saying. . . I take whatever they say, or are reported to say, with a grain of salt.

and a not-for-profit company would? Name on, if you can.
