When it's tilted down and looking straight at you it looks better (some of the teeth are obscured) - you get the determined vibe. Looking up slightly you get more of the Busey rows of teeth look.

See that's what my initial plan was was getting the Endor with the gritted teeth and hoping it came with the wind swept hair piece to swap with the helmet, but the totally dropped the ball on that hair piece.

Dropped the ball in what way? Is it their wind blown hair not decent to you? Just curious

Essentially the way they designed the head/hair pieces it'd be difficult to get the right look for the windswept hair.
I’m with you. I dig it and sort of hope they don’t change a thing. Looks like Hamill. Yes it’s scene specific, or moment specific, but so is that brilliant Inigo sculpt.
But on my end the helmet will stay on, the wind hair piece looks kinda like a wig since there’s no hair line.

I'm looking for the full saber and head if anyone parts theirs out.

I’m with you on the sculpt. I’m going to display him on a speeder bike clashing side by side with a Scout Trooper on another speeder. I’ll be trying to recreate that part in the scene when both fronts of the speeders get locked together. The face sculpt is perfect for that particular moment.
Just saw that exact scene on TV over the weekend and thought of the sculpt. Have my speeder bike coming on Friday and just added the SS poncho today to Luke as a place holder.
My review will be up today.

That Poncho looks decent TonTon but I do find the thick stitching a little distracting. Is it as noticeable in hand?

always wanted the speeder bike. i do have enough for it but tied between this or save the money up for jabba. i do have the original jabba and the new one is cool looking tough choice to make.
Couple more shots. I thought the stitching looked a bit questionable in photos but once it was in hand I didn't really think of it until you asked about it.
Few more shots. Really need the helmet for him to at least hold, but didn't want to pony up for the SS helmeted head. Think I'll just ride it out and wait for the Hot Toys deluxe. No wire in the poncho anywhere which makes it hard to look like it has weight to it.

looks great Ian i did buy the SSC helmeted head version. i just need to find that poncho some time to make an Endore version of him.
I like the poncho on the (smaller framed) HT Luke than on the (larger framed) SSC Luke. It seems like the SSC Luke might benefit from a smaller body - it seems a bit too tall and bit too hefty. On the smaller figure, the poncho looks more flowing and baggy like it should.
I'd say it still isn't quite baggy enough (and I wish the fabric draped a bit better - it seems stiff and not quite drape-y enough in the pics I've seen) but it's certainly better looking there.
And that belt is a little hasbro-ish as someone mentioned. It's possible there's a 1/6 military belt that might be better. Or maybe it just needs a better paint/weathering treatment. It's very clean.

I agree - the poncho looks good on the smaller HT Luke.

Agreed. That seems to work pretty well TonTon, and just the fact it's got the HT head over it makes the poncho look a bit less cheap as well.
It’s brown, but the HT one seems black and seems to have a black buckle. Curious to pick up some cheap alternatives.
