1/6 Luke Skywalker: Red Five X-Wing Pilot Sixth Scale Figure

What does "clam shelled" over the head mean ecxactly? Like a full intact head underneath? I think of clamshell packaging, but not sure what it means in this context.

 

[generalgrevious]

yes I want to know more about this clam shell as well

 

[devilof76]

There are two halves and they fit together. Like a clamshell.

Voila.

So what you're saying is there's two halves and they fit together like a clam shell?

 

[generalgrevious]

well if that`s the case it would be cheaper then having two different head sculpts. which I thought was a dumb anyways. to bad then did not come up with that years ago to cut on cost maybe

 

[Cavlcade]

Good idea. Unless the head underneath is bald with no ears. Like the DX head. They wouldn't would they?

Helmet might take a cue from The HT T-1000:

There's a natural separation point above the side discs:

Maybe I'm greedy, but for the $200 this will be I would have preferred a helmeted head plus non-helmeted head with extra helmet. Or maybe going forward that's just for the $250 DX packages.

Thankfully no clamshells on Hoth.

If the helmet is removable such that it allows displaying the figure with or without the helmet, what's the point of having two heads?

I'm hoping the lack of extras will bring the price down to something reasonable.

No sir. I'm saying that a clamshell has two halves that fit together like this helmet. Everyone else understands, now please try to keep up.

You'd have a head that wasn't slightly smushed sculpt-wise to accomodate a helmet over it for starters. Heads that are designed for hats or helmets nearly always have that "hat hair" look and tweaked ears, I'm assuming even with this new-fangled clamshell space-age technology.

And... well... you'd have two heads plus an extra helmet. Hel-loo!

Not sure why it's so confusing. Here's a new image from Sideshow's preview site.

You are my new least favourite poster.

Pixel, sorry mate. Hand back the crown.

"Reasonable"... no more ill-defined word in the world of 1/6 collectibles.
