Yavin Luke image thread

[sideshowtob]

Cheers! You just saved me another hour of frustrated plier holidng, and probably some of the skin on my fingers as well!

I'd definitely suggest warming them with water or a hair dryer when making exchanges!

 

[pjam]

if I'm wrong, please correct me... but didn't les thin out the chin of this sucker?

He resculpted/reworked the jawline, yes.

yeah thought so... because paint alone couldn't have helped that sculpt so much.

Maybe I'm still in denial, but these shots from Michael Crawford's review show the likeness in quite a positive light. Whaddy'all reckon??

 

[IrishJedi]

Does anyone need one of these by any chance? I'm willing to unload mine for cost, plus shipping.

I really don't intend on collecting multiple versions of characters, and Jedi Luke is pretty much the only Luke I want (unless they come with an iconic ANH Farmboy Luke that is knocked out of the park).

I got caught up in C4 Exclusive Fever™ and don't really need/want this particular figure, so if it can go to the home of a SS Freak who will appreciate it then it's win-win.

LMK.

Better late than never...

I'm happy with him.

I thought that last picture at the end of Michael's review was certainly the best looking picture I've seen of this figure yet

yah i think he looks much better without the jacket for some reason.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I'm still not convinced about this headsculpt. It's almost like the sculptor's goal was to NOT repeat the eyes of the first one. It's the eyes that are off, to me.

Oh, and he looks like he's wearing galoshes in that second pic. Boots are huge on him.

 

[Prime Clone]

Rebelscum's gallery is up now too. Gotta say he doesn't look too shabby there either.

Myatt knows how to shoot toy pics. Wow!

I still think for some reason on this one the hand painted issue is a big factor, I have a feeling that the variations between each figure are greater them normal.

 

[Prime Clone]

Perhaps, but I've also noticed that the better the photography, the better it looks. Must be a tricky one to capture.

The figure obviously still has its flaws, as critics haven't changed their tune after seeing it in hand. But it's sure looking more like young Luke with these better-quality images.

Update on my DA repaint:

Man, I can't believe how good it looks already! You can really see what the production paint did to the fine details, the lips, the mole, everything. If you don't see Luke the second you see it your crazy! Oh man, I can't wait to see it finished.

Josh, you are the man!

I see hicks more than I see luke :chew

Yavin Luke doesn't look anything like Hicks.

 

[dekadentdave]

Amen to that.

 

[Darthrazz]

Yavin Luke doesn't look anything like Hicks.

I have to agree...I would love to see a unpainted sculpt. Sideshow never posted any pics did they?

hehe. I was just teasing nash. I'm sure he meant that he sees more Hicks in the sculpt on the left than he sees Luke in the sculpt on the right.

Anyways, I haven't seen an unpainted Luke sculpt from SSC yet. I do, however, have mine being painted by Les. I can't wait to see what he does with it.

Please post pics of that, I'm sure after Les is done with it it'll be killer!
