I'm seriously considering returning this.
Trust me, I'm far from being picky and in fact, teased by friends by being too optimistic. I actually get annoyed sometimes on messageboards when people complain as I feel sometimes people are just nitpicking on something. But this is not the case on this PF, I seriously believe its a huge Design flaw.
As you can tell by the EX still available, the stupid gun option is stupid as the title suggests...RETURN OF THE JEDI!!! And what is a Jedi's main weapon...a FREAKING LIGHTSABER.
But, let's not worry about that. Ok, we get a lightsaber anyway (which 99.9% of people will use to display it). Well guess what, mine is like everyone's lightsaber except we all got screwed cause Luke is armed not with a Lightsaber but a freakin Nite Glow stick...like the ones you see in halloween. Mine only lights up about .25 inches from the hilt, and then you have that glow at the top.
And still, you cant even enjoy that little freakin glow cause you're forced to only use Batteries!!! Where's the freakin AC Adapter?!!!
So basically, you cant even enjoy that little time watching Luke's little halloween nite glow stick as you have to worry about not draining the battery.
As I mentioned, I'm optimist and this is actually the first time I'm underwhelmed by a figure. Everytime I get a new one, I usually feel like a kid on xmas but I'm so upset over this. Just look at the Sideshow Slogan on top and see the image of Luke with the lightsaber, that's a HUGE part of this figure. When I look at mine with the lightsaber turned off, its just doesnt look right...It should be like that sideshow Banner above.
I apologize for being negative. But every SINGLE figure I've received, I've been very happy. I cant' actually recall getting any figure and feel unsure about it. Heck, I even LOVE the ANH Luke and was pleasantly surprised as pics dont do it justice. Its just that Luke's lightsaber in my opinion is a HUGE factor in this ART. Its like getting a beautiful painting and instead of putting it on a beautiful frame, you display it like a poster.
If someone has a solution to this, like a mod or something, please let me know., I thought about that cathode mode solution but even that wont work cause usually, you run the wires inside the figures clothes to hide the wires. Well, this one is sewn shut so you cant remove the clothing so that's out of the window. I'm giving it this weekend to think about it but at the the moment, I'm leaning towards returning this.
