Thanks for the pics. How obvious is the supposed "sweaty" look for the face? I had thought about using this sculpt with the Sideshow farmboy clothes to avoid having to buy the HT farmboy. Of course Tatooine is pretty hot too. :lol

Great to see the ebay pictures as well, the "Tom Cruise nose" in profile was just bad photography apparently.

Yea.. I have the same question because I am thinking of using it for a Yavin Luke custom. It looks pretty sweaty in some pics, I may have to wait to get it in hand to know for sure.

In the mean time I am waiting to see if anyone who's gotten this can post a picture next to the HT tall or short Stormtrooper. The armor is really tricking me here because some things about it makes it look like its on the short body and other things makes it look like its on the tall.

want to pull the trigger on this, waiting for Han, anyone think they'll screw us and put out a two pack?

Not trying to be funny at all, but will Han be sweaty as well?

...probably will be, they were both hanging out at the Death Star guest Spa together

I wish they had included Luke's wet hair as an alternate hair piece. But then again I guess that will probably be a another release altogether.

I would be REALLY BUMMED if they then dropped Han WITH Luke in a combo pack that includes exclusive swimming trunks.

Yeah, that seems like a missed opportunity if another never comes out, but like you said, it probably will, with a garbage disposal environment.

I honestly don't think we'll see that though, and it is a missed opportunity. If Sideshow can throw 3 heads with Hoth Luke, why couldn't Hot Toys at least throw in an interchangeable hair piece?

At least he's sweaty. I know we were all hoping for that. :lol

Yes

I'll go with No. The fact that they're already teasing Han makes me think we'll see this up for order in the next 2 months to capitalize on TFA madness.

They could have just used the same hair they were going to use for under Luke's hat on the other figure to be the wet hair on this one. I'm guessing that even though the Stormtrooper Luke is same mold as the other Luke the hair on the Stormtrooper Luke isn't removable so we could use the hat hair as "wet" hair on that sculpt. Before I found out Stormtrooper Luke's head was "sweaty" I thought I would just switch heads between Luke's if I wanted to use the other hair, but I don't think I want a "sweaty" head on the regular Luke. Anyway - this isn't really a big deal in making this a good figure or not, but with the mold they were using being made for having swapable hair anyway it wouldn't have been hard to do if they had thought about it.

Now, as for the height, I still am weighting for picture to confirm if this is a short rather than tall trooper. Being a short one should be a no brainer but the way the armor fits in some ways it looks like a tall and in other ways a short. Can't wait for some comparison shots
