Finally got one of these figures locally for about $175 shipped. I was willing to pay maybe $150-160 before shipping. Interested to see how it compares to the custom I made using various bits from this figure bought from Toy Anxiety - I paid maybe $100 for the basic suit and helmet but had to use an old Luke head, custom bandolier, Dragon boots etc.
i may turn my custom into another non-Luke x-wing pilot, or maybe have a gloves-on and gloves-off version (my custom is holding the bunched gloves.)
Interested to see how the "notorious" head on this figure looks in-hand without the helmet on - is it good enough to stand among HT figs or does it look as weird (unconvincing eyes, odd skintone, not enough fine sculpt or paint detail) as it does in some pics?
I would love to display the new full fig holding the helmet in his hands (and keep my helmet-on custom as a different Luke look) but really not sure the head is good enough - despite it being a super-expensive (for that time) $240 figure when released.
custom of the year.
