Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[jutty]

Can't wait for this guy. Definitely going to jump on the Flex Pay so there's no chance I'll need to suddenly cancel an order. Don't really care for the exclusive though, just give me the meat and potatoes.

So you wouldnt want the Gravy on top ???,,damn id rather go for the full meal

 

[FLOSI]

While cool, the EX isn't worth an extra 60 bucks to me.... (CA sales tax included) If 300 ends up being the price point it should be 270 through AE, and that ain't bad for two figures. I'll go that route, like I almost always do.

 

[galactiboy]

Sales tax would definitely bite on this one... I'd be less inclined to get just about all of the exclusives. But this is one I'd still probably be willing to spend that much extra.

 

[Billy Ray]

I'm still not completely sold on the "clean" head sculpt. I'm sure it will look much better in hand, but I will most likely be passing on this one. Everything else looks great though.

I shudder to think what the price for this will be. If the rumors of Han being next are true, I will have to start saving now. I do kind of wish they would offer a non DX version of these figures, without all the extras, for less $$.

 

[OSCORP]

Yeah the ex isn't a must for me. It's cool, but i'm not going to pay extra. (depending on price)

If Superman's EX cost $ i woulda not gotten that either.

I think I've only ordered three figures through SS this entire year. Bruce Lee, but that was worth paying the extra coin just to get the EX, Spider-Man, since I wanted that figure in hand ASAP, and Captain America, which I used some RPs on plus the free shipping... Otherwise it's AE 90% of the time, though it does suck seeing everyone get their figures before me. I've stayed away from the Superman thread for that exact reason.

The SM EX would have ran me 40 bucks more... And for an item I won't even display. I'm willing to wait.

Well I do like bleu cheese with my hot wings, but I won't pay an extra $.25 just to have it. Same goes with the Exclusive items. Great to have, but I honestly can't justify the extra price tag.

 

[OSCORP]

Yeah we need to say no to higher cost EX'S RIGHT NOW, or were going to be paying for them all the time in the future.

I mean for me to pay 50$ more for an ex. Luke would need to have an exclusive light up saber or an exclusive X-wing suit/costumes or something.

 

[bloodgear]

But it's only a 100 or so yen difference, no? Probably about $10 more [when it goes up] and I don't mind that.

 

[Khev]

Finally I can see more of Mark Hamill when the eyes are looking more straight ahead. Not perfect, but definitely better. Stupid PERS.

As i would not either. LET'S HOPE THAT IS CORRECT.

I think the only issue is the mouth, they made his lips too thin

 

[Rorywan]

..and the face is too wide, better though. That looks production rather than proto?

 

[darthviper107]

Face width is probably correct, standard head proportions apply to that.

Probably not production considering it's not even preordered yet.

Yen is not HKD...... HKD 100 is USD 12.83

100 yen is USD 1.3, currently

So I got my Asian currencies mixed up. Shoot me.

Well I think the jaw is too wide. And the paint job on that head looks less sophisticated than the previous shots we have seen. Maybe not production but it's getting there. Could be a test run or something.

 

[MarfMaster]

I think it's the lips and nose that are throwing the sculpt off for me a bit, but I'm still liking what I'm seeing!
