Jedi Luke PF IMAGE Thread

[LOTRFan]

I really wasn't expecting to be as "wowed" by this one as I genuinely am. The pose still isn't something I would have expected or picked myself; but for what it is, this came out excellent!

I haven't had a chance to test the light-up feature in the dark yet, but it doesn't appear as bright as the blue sabers, which still seem to work best.

The peg for the arm

A nice marble effect on the base, and scratch resistant unlike the Vader and Obi bases.

The blaster is a decent EX feature, but not a deal-breaker by any means

Either I wasn't paying attention or this was a new feature added, but the tunic comes off (via velcro as does the belt) and the shirt has a magnetized hem which allows you to fold it down.

Overall I think this is a worthy entry into the Star Wars PF line, and most collectors will be happy with it once they get over the choice of pose - but again who knows what Sideshow has up their sleeves for a ROTJ Vader.

Sorry for the fast pics/comments, didn't have much time.

Nice pics and a very nice looking pf for sure. I'm actually surprised at how good it looks.

 

[spenca7]

likeness seems pretty darn good to the proto

 

[Iron Man]

Awesome dude, I am excited to get mine Thursday!
Thanks for the pics

To bad they could not have made the 1/6 fig with the same expression. It seems sideshow has the Jedi Luke Sculpt perfected.

Sadly, I had to cancel mine. It looks good but I have way too many things hitting at the same time for me.

Ok, so I found the one negative I can find about the piece ...

The green just doesn't light up well , maybe it wasn't the Clone Trooper blocking out the glow as much as it is the green with the LED.

Wow can't wait to get mine... hope it arrives before friday as I'm leaving for a vacation...

 

[Apone]

Mine is coming thursday...and why in the world doesnt sideshow do a cathode saber?

 

[MarfMaster]

Hey freaks, here is my contribution to the thread. The pics aren't the greatest, but they're the best I could do with the currently crappy lighting. As LOTR Fan mentioned, the saber doesn't work so well, but it's not a big issue for me. The paint work on mine is extremely solid. Overall I'm stoked with this piece

I am very relieved now that I have seen two more Lukes..that first one that was posted looked terrible...I think he needs to send that baby back...now I am still going to hold my breath when I open mine...hope it looks as good as these..should be here thurs.

congrats to all who scored the jedi luke. and thanks for the pics.

unfortunately, seeing the pics just further reinforced my dislike of the "bigfoot" pose. it's such a shame cos it looks like the pf is a generally well-made piece (aside from the dim saber). the costume's tailoring looks especially sharp, the base is very nice, and the sculpt is a pretty good mark hamill likeness.

just dunno why they couldn't have stuck to one of his more recognizable poses. sigh. but that's just flogging a dead tauntaun, i guess...

Why does SS keep dropping the ball with the light up sabers nowadays?
I first noticed it on my Anakin where it just lit up about 1/3 of the way and then just lit up the very tip of the saber. Its pretty bad when compared to the vader and obi wan pf's. Thos sabers lit up brightly and beautifully!!!

Would it have anything to do with the connections? ie. vader and obi wan sabers connected in the hands at the hilts, but the newer pf's connect at the arm, would this decrease the lighting effect?
Any thoughts?

I know a lot of people dont really care about the light up functions, but i really love em, i dont turn them on all the time but its nice to do it once in a while to get the full effect of such a nice PF.

The best representation of Luke Skywalker

Yeah! Good job Sideshow, you've done well, it looks awesome.

Paint looks good, shame about the half lit saber though.
