1/6 Hot Toys - Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Luke Skywalker-CRAIT (Force Projection) -

It may mean he appears to be there, but actually isn't.

 

[dukefett]

Probably because release is imminent.

I hope.

Dooku and Yoda were there, both released.

Fair point.

It’s too bad Hot Toys never updated the head sculpt on this. I was honestly holding out hope.

What evidence is there to suggest they haven't? They improved TLJ Leia's head sculpt between proto and final release for example.

It’s not out of the realm of possibility, but usually they announce such changes well before release.

I’m sure they didn’t with Leia, it wasn’t until the final product pics went up on day of release.

That’s why I said “usually”.

I also don’t recall them “usually” announcing changes before final release. Unless the figure is shown at conventions leading up to release. Can you give some examples of those figures which have had announced changes prior to release?

BvS Wonder Woman I remember they also showcased an updated sculpt at a con between prototype pics and release.

I wouldn't know with Marvel tbh, but I can't recall any Star Wars. I'm not saying you're wrong, I genuinely can't remember them doing it with Star Wars. Anyway, back to the head sculpt. Honestly, I'm one of those who think that the prototype was damn near perfect, but if there's improvements to be made then I'm sure they'll make them. Hot Toys never really let us down when it comes to the senior citizen head sculpts. The TLJ Luke, for example, is stunning.

They did update the Vader Sculpt on the New Hope version before it came out.

I think they showed Vader and ANH Han in a JC Hong photo and the updated sculpts at a con before the figure came out in Hong Kong (at least in Han’s case). Can’t remember any other cases with SW but I’ve been known to have a faulty memory ... from time to time.

 

[heon123]

All they had to do was take the Hermit sculpt and cut the hair. One of the cases where keeping the same headsculpt would've sufficed.

Still, looking forward to the final pics. I liked the 'end' product of Luke in TLJ, just not the means to get there.

Tomorrow is October...

 

[heon123]

Face needs to be less round, bit more aged. Body definitely needs another look at.

This might be the definitive Luke of the ST unless he's wearing something nifty in TROS.

Don't think HT could do a force ghost anyway.

 

[Cicada17]

I can?t believe this still hasn?t dropped in China... I?m dying for in-hand photos.

I hope the reason they're dragging their feet on this is because they took time to fix the head sculpt, but it would be unusual for them not to advertise such an update--so I doubt it.
