Hot Toys MMS429 - Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker

[chalor]

Unless we somehow let HT know they must be more careful with scale, they will continue putting out not-so-good-looking, underscaled accessories.

To make a mistake like that, with such an iconic item, I guess nobody at HT has cared to actually test the gun. Just sculpt, paint, throw it in, forget.

I was hoping to finally have the perfect rendition of that nice little blaster from the Jabba throne scene... But nope.
This remembers me of the SSC 1/6 Scout Trooper ankle blaster situation...

:-(

Trigger hands I have have all 3 fingers together.
What do you mean "fingers spread apart"?

Companies need to be recalled of these important details. In many instances, the sole thing letting you know you are looking at a figure is the realism in the hands, the way they take the shape of the object being held. If that's not well done, the entire picture loses a lot of realism.
At this price range, at least testing the accessories should be mandatory... Clearly they haven't.

Best,

Scene is iconic. It has stuck. They know it at HT, that's why they included that accessory and not some other.

Just another hive-minded, bourgeois, easily influenced troglodyte. Pitty this boy. He knoweth not what he does.

Anyone order theirs from Popcultcha? If so, what's the current status of your order?

Only asking to see if now's the right time to order mine.

Mine's still processing. A few weeks back, their customer service was saying June 30, so I'm expecting early July. Hope that helps.

To be honest, I don't think what he said was that wrong. After all we are talking about a premium figure, which costs a lot of money. I can understand why he is after perfection.

Perfection doesn't exist. Not at any price point. The pursuit of it will drive you insane.

In general, you are absolutely right.
But it's not that difficult to take care of the correct scale of the accessories.

By the way, I have absolutely no problem with "not 100% movie accuracy". If it wasn't him, I would have never noticed that.
I just said I understand him.

Early processing notice- charging today.

Early processing notice- charging today.

Funnily enough I had my flex payment changed to next month so I changed the order to complete as soon as in stock... I then got a notification yesterday that payment will come out on the same day as my Flex SHOULD have come out on 25th of this month.

 

[DeganUAB]

I got an early charging notice too. I wonder how long it will take to arrive.

Thanks!

 

[loki2371]

Mines being charged today too after early notice. Happy to get him early.

Yet I'm surprised I'm gonna have Luke before Anakin considering Anakin was released 1st. What's the hold up with my Anakin, Sideshow!!

 

[Creighton]

Ha I had Anakin first then sold him at a good markup only to reorder. I’m on the same boat as you now.

Somebody asked about the SSC outfit

Here is my custom with TT body and SSC outfit







All together



My custom seems taller because I don't have feet in the boots so the legs are squished into the boots a bit raised

Thank you I did ask for It . I wonder if I can HT’s head on that body??

Just checked, and both my Lukes had their last payment applied today! I don't think I've ever been so happy to see money leave my bank account, lol

 

[ShadowX81]

Wonder if it would be possible to customize the "front flap" on the shirt. Hating how puffy and out of scale it looks, especially when the size of it doesn't look quite right.

Highly disappointing Usually stuff charges and ships the day of processing. Got the early processing yesterday and accepted and ..........still in processing stages. Told it should ship in the next day or two. Running behind. Uh hum, then why send out the early processing notice..

Same here, got the option for early processing and jumped on it as soon as it came through. Looking at the order details it shows the final payment was processed, however the main order status page still shows payment processing.

 

[SilverStar17]

Give it a couple more hours. Sometimes, it takes as late as 8pm (PST) for the status to change.

 

[SilverStar17]

See? Just changed for me to “Shipped”.

 

[pixletwin]

Yep. 15 minutes ago mine showed is still processing. I just checked, and it is set to shipped.
