Is anyone else’s lit hilt bent a little? The hilt on the swappable blades is bent towards the emitter part. I’m gonna ask Sideshow for a replacement.

Such a cool figure! That's Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker! Can't wait to receive mine!

I don't think changing the whole outfit is a minor upgrade.

"Here's my Yunsil figure with the new Hot toys head"

head, belt and hands!

it looks gorgeous though!

Thankfully I got mine double boxed because there was a hell of a lot of water damage that thankfully only barely touched the shipper box.

The sculpt looks pretty good in those shots, Hector!
I still have some reservations about the sculpt though, he has a bit of that 'deer in headlights' look IMO. Not as strong as the original SSC had, but still noticeable. It's the only thing still holding me back. I should try to see it in person somehow I guess.

Did some minor upgrades. Home run by Hot Toys. Definitely need another one.

Awesome short round. This is how I'm going to pose my Luke to begin with. Good use of all the accessories and looks great. But also with lightsaber ignited I think. Can't have that sitting in the box !

Someone wasn’t kidding as well regarding the LED arm being a bit tricky to get in. Since you can’t roll the sleeve high enough to see the joint, you sort of just have to feel for it and guess how hard you need to press to get it seated in. Plus, I don’t like how the wrist has no joint and the only movement it has is you can rotate it.

Would it have killed HT to include just one more gloved hand for grasping the saber?

Can I ask about the saber? The V2 in the photos...did you do the mods or is there somewhere selling that or doing the mods?

^^ The Inigo Luke head also included the V2 saber I believe.

Sorry for all the questions, I'm pretty new here. Inigo is an artist? A company? Is it possible to find/get a V2 still?

They obviously intended to include a gloved gripping hand. Why the hell did they exclude it?

Thankfully it’s easy enough to paint up the flesh hand with semi gloss spray.

I`m using the medicom jedi luke gloved hand. might be little under scaled but it gets the job done.

He’s an artist, I wasn’t around for his previous work but he’s working on 2 Jedi Luke heads now. His Instagram is Inigou

These are the new heads...

Looking great but I always like to wait until I see a 3D print. I've seen a lot of great zBrush sculpts that just didn't work once in the real world. Not sure why.

If I’ve read correctly, is there a protective liner on the inside of the collar to aid in protecting against staining? I initially left that little white plastic wrap on, but I couldn’t help but take it off; it was making him look too much like a priest.

I’m also starting to see why some people acquired two of these, as I can’t decide between the tunic for a Jabba’s Palace display or the DSII look. Both are pretty iconic moments in the film. If I did get another, I’d probably just wait and get the Endor version and use that for the DSII look, as I think the expression on that sculpt is a better “battling” expression that suits that scene better.

Also you have to find someone to paint them. You first pay for sculpt then have to have it shipped to someone who can really make it come to life.

I'm getting Luke on wednesday! So what have people been doing about the robe staining? Or is that even a concern anymore, giving the international shipping?
