I don't care who makes it if it looks good. .

This looks great.

Going by prototypes alone, SSC's Red 5 is the superior likeness and paint job. This one looks way better than Han Solo though.

I agree, I think the SS version has a better resemblance. Just hope final product comes out as good. The great plus for HT are all the extras. Hope it'll be in the $220-230 range.

Which is, for me, the most awesome EX for Luke Tatooine.

Your idea for the exclusive would have made a lot more sense though - much easier for me to pass on. And even though the gun and belt can be bought loose from a trooper part-out, it's the hook baby. Need the hook.

Re: Where are Hot Toys Luke and Leia?

Tan Solo and Luke are lacking detail because of the poor molding and casting. There is actually very little paint on those heads, I stripped one back to reveal.. well there is nothing to strip back.

Oh crap - I was mulling doing that but I guess I won't. I'm waiting for a slim narrow (just wasted $24 on eBay buying a "slim narrow" that was neither) to swap Luke to and dye the vest. The hatted Han head still really bugs me but I guess I'll embrace the looking-down-at-the-life-sensor pose. I do like all the SSC Hoth heads quite a bit except hatted Han.

Tali, a few bodies totally appropriate for Luke were linked on eBay, including the easy to search for "charlie chaplin" - go for it.

So funny that that one is your least favorite. I still think that one is awesome, maybe just behind the hatted Luke though--does that one work for you? The real fur did really improve the hatted sculpt, just sewed it in and it came out pretty good in the end. Not perfect, but I'll have another crack when I mod the brown coat version and maybe do a step by step with photos.
Back to Luke though, curious about the price -- can't believe that between this and X-Wing Luke were probably looking at $500.

I'm probably going to just make a slim/narrow body by cutting down one of my extra bodies (I find the final series Hasbro 12" bodies work great as slim/narrows) - it's what I did for my Greedo/Beedo custom and costs exactly $0.

Yeah, not sure what happened. Maybe I got a bad one (though it seems much the same as the ones I've seen pictured.) It really does look like a stoned eskimo that admittedly look like HF under certain conditions. All the other heads are fine - I like unhatted Luke best, but unhatted Han I quite like (yes, the same mold as hatted.) I do think the gluing of the hat distorted the Han face, maybe bloating it outward a bit.

I am considering tearing the whole thing apart - I think it was galactiboy who pulled the backing off the Luke face and trimmed it. I will probably give that a shot on Han.

^^I think one thing they mistakenly did was use the same hat for both Luke and Han, looks great on Luke, but Han does look a little stuffed into it at times when the hood is down. I have the impression that the hair sculpt is squeezed a little bit, so it sounds like we're just on opposite sides of preference in that regard.

Foy my Han, I took the SS head out and put the Enterbay one in (after much hacking). Looks a tonton better to me. Sorry, had to do it.

I'll let you guys nitpick the differences, but yup, I'm happy

Only have a few nitpicks the sleeves look short, the Gi needs to be looser, and the boot's and wraps should be a golden tan. the belt could be a tad darker like oxblood not English tan. his pants was also a little snugger. Maybe some golden dry brushing more on hair

This is turning into one hell of a line.

Excellent suggestions.

English tan?

View attachment 187732

Apparently your trying to be cheeky, but i was referring to the tanning process called English tan. this is English tanned leather


this leather wallet is in oxblood not actually oxblood just the dye making it a deeper reddish brown


or even a rich mahogany leather


either would look good for Luke's belt then slightly sun bleach it to look aged by sun
