Anyone not happy with the head sculpt and looking to part with it? I'm looking for another but don't want to buy the entire figure.
Let me know

I saw one over at Toyanxiety the other day. It's the head with the body though.

We've had this debate a looooong time ago and no matter how many pics I see and my own hand-held comparisons...I still think the Sideshow Buck body is at the bottom of the pile of the "Big 3".
But Sideshow claims they are doing R&D on a new body style...perhaps we'll see something in 2008 in terms of that.
What Sideshow SHOULD do if they do create a new body is make sure that they at least offer or use the same neckpiece (and maybe even a wrist adapter if they change it) that the Art S. Buck used so that people who bought all these older figures could easily convert them over to the new bodies.
Though more profit could be made by Sideshow if they just perhaps remold some pieces and re-release figures on the new body.
...but they didn't hear that from me.

I think most people on this board, including me, refert to Medicom, Hot Toys and Sideshow as the big 3, since they're the ones making figures of mainstream properties in mass ammounts. I'm sure other makers have better bodies than the buck, but the main 3 people collect around here are all pretty top notch with the Buck of Sideshow pulling up the rear.
Is this even a debate still? I thought, along with the roundness of the Earth, this issue was long put to rest.
Hot Toys base bodies own Sideshow/Medicom.

? Sideshow Buck
How does hot toys bodies end up in the number 1 slot? Medicom bodies are way more poseable and realistically hold natural poses.
Hot toys are the sturdiest while still maintaining a good amount of poseability.
if we're talking headsculpts i'd give #1 to hot toys.
I agree with you. Medicom should have the #1 spot. For me, one things takes it down to #2 and the answer is simple (and one you prolly anticipate): Scale. Hot Toys not only give you awesome pose ability, but they also give you the option to pose them with an eclectic mix of other manufacturers (for those with whom scale is an issue. For those with no issues with scale thats awesome and Medicom would take the #1 spot. But for me, I'll take HT.)
...I guess I appreciate something for what it is, not for where it can fit.
Odd request, but can someone take a picture of Luke's belt laid out? I found a great picture of a 1:1 custom of the Tatooine belt and I want to see if there's an easy way to turn it into his Tattooine belt or just steal the pouches.
