Hot Toys The Last Jedi Luke Skywalker 1/6 Figure

Agreed. Meanwhile, I usually hate rooted hair, but this custom hair transplant by knknworks on Instagram is amazing!

Just back from the Big Sur yoga retreat darling.

See, that custom head addresses two issues with the factory version, though: 1. it is way too dark, and 2. it is way too tidy.

Thank you, irezumi!

I was planning on capturing a few hasty shots along the side of the road this morning, just to flex the creative muscles while I wait for Luke's friends to arrive... but then the parking lot at Robert Louis Stevenson Park was nearly empty, a rare occurrence. I thought I'd check it out to see if it had potential for photo locales.

Boy howdy!

I could only stay a short while owing to prior engagements, added to which it started raining, but I will definitely be going back!

Damn, irezumi, that is a badass group shot.

Nice!

Though he’s never met Finn and he didn’t seem to want much to do with Rey when he met her, so cut them out of the photo, substitute BB-8 for R2, and your caption would be a lot more accurate.

Rey looks really cool in your video. Makes me consider reposing.

 

[TonTon]

Love the TFA headgear for Rey.

Also, I really prefer the TLJ Luke figure (to TFA Luke) but that outfit combined with Leia, and Han and Finn’s main TFA gear makes for a whole lot of dark hues. TFA Luke might still look better in a group shot, but it’s such an annoying figure and outfit to futz with and pose.

I've had Rey posed like this since i got her on release. I completely ignored the warning instructions about the dye might stain headsculpt. This is the way i like her set-up and don't plan to remove the head gear to check if there is any discolouration.

Nice!

Same applies to most people on Facebook, but they still call em friends

I was on the trail at Robert Louis Stevenson Park before 6:00 this morning, and didn't get back to my car until nearly noon; it was a fantastic morning. I had no idea how majestic this place is!

I brought along Luke and another toy that I'll reveal later, but I haven't edited the shots of the two of them together yet, so for now here are highlights from the rest of the shoot.




(I wish there were a way to reduce the size of these photos; it's a bit much).

Beautiful!
Your images are always an inspiration!
My Wife and i went to the Isle of Skye last summer, and spent my time taking pics of the two figures i brought with me in front of the majestic landscape, lol.

 

[irezumi]

Stunning photography Monte!

 

[slikkerias]

Finally arrived. What an incredible figure.

 

[Monte Williams]

Thanks, guys! Man, I'd love to visit the Isle of Skye! Which toys did you photograph there, Username?

Congratulations, slikkerias! I hope you enjoy this figure as much as I have. Also, your photo reminds me I need to capture some shots of him wearing his poncho. (I also haven't photographed his porg yet, but I'm still hoping to acquire Rey, so I'll wait until I have three porgs to add as background detail).

Those pics are awesome!! Looking forward to seeing the rest of them!

Nice pic btw!

It's a beautiful place. But as you know, the world is full of beautiful places, just around the corner.
We managed to have a week there where the weather was unseasonably warm. I have spent whole weeks there where it never stopped raining(The "perks" of staying in Scotland, lol).
I only took my "Travelling Matt" figure(The guy on the 1/6 scale Bench i posted a few pages back), and a custom Destiny Warlock i put together(Mostly a Gi Joe Storm Shadow with different helmet, gloves, boots and weapon).

Irony of ironies, these are the only pics i took of the Old Man Of Storr(The spire of rock, off in the background). I think this is the setting from the beginning of Prometheus, when they find the cave.

Apologies for this image. The straps of my backpack are in the background. Also, you can see his stand. I use a waist grabber with a sharpened piece of threaded rod in it, that i can sink into the ground so he doesn't fall over on uneven ground.

Thanks, Baggins! Here's a link to all my Tolkien-inspired photos, and the album coincidentally includes a photo of the toy I photographed Luke with (mystery!):

Username, those photos are lovely! And I'll see your backpack straps and visible stand and raise you this hilarious snafu from yesterday:

​

I was trying to capture a panoramic shot, when the breeze suddenly toppled Luke and I hastily lunged for him. So now we all know what it looks like when you frantically drop your phone in the middle of a panoramic scan, ha ha.

Also, man, I don't know what a Destiny Warlock is, but that figure looks rad! What are the boots from? Perhaps it's just because I've had Star Wars on the brain so much lately, but it almost looks to me like a startlingly original aesthetic for a Sith character; a white-clad Sith would be a trip.
