Hot toys Snowspeeder Pilot Luke Skywalker

Anything under $450 would be a win and that’s with the slower shipping option if you choose the faster you can forget about below $450.

Lacking patience comes with a high price lol

Ok I just did a check out with the slowest shipping for $415.00 US but I used a 5% code.

I think the general rule of thumb is for every 3 figures you get early from HK you could have used that extra cost to buy one from Sideshow.

Give or take.

Came out better than I pictured..however seems to be a true decision piece to collect IMO since there is a lack of the snowspeeder or x wing

Your point does not hold up.

It would be like saying you shouldn’t buy a 1/6 Tarkin because a 1/6 Death Star doesn’t exist lol

The Death Star was Tarkin’s ship afterall.

Come here guyver1…closer…closer…yup right there….

That head sculpt is facinating. It really changed completely under different lighting condition and angles. No wonder some love it and some hate it.

Agreed! I didn't get the Tusken Raider because there is no 1/6 scale Tatooine.

So the hair does come off to allow for the helmet liner & helmet installation. As I suspected...

Your point also doesn’t hold up because you should’ve used the Bantha which is their mode of transportation not the planet Tatooine lol

OK you Star Wars experts out there......

Question "What does that respirator pipe into the pocket actually connect to" ?

Yeah I don’t know why I was thinking it didn’t when we all knew that it did lol

 

[Hando]

So what are those cartridges around his leg? Some kind of ammunition for his blaster?

 

[Hando]

I dont understand why those Sideshow morons keep stressing on the time. Whats wrong with staying an extra 5 minutes to nail the pose? And if time is an issue then why waste 40 minutes making stupid jokes and playing with stickers?

I was once desperately wanting a 1/6 Snowspeeder but the Black Series piece is so good that my interest has cooled considerably. I think it's a more appropriate scale for a vehicle this size and it can be modded to look even better than it already does out of the box. Do you really want a HT Luke scrunched into the cockpit? Do you want to custom make a 1/6 Dak and stuff him in there too?

There are some things the Jazzinc will improve on for sure such as cockpit details but I'm still not convinced that it will be overall better than what a slightly modded Black Series can be. Paint and weathering is not a strong suit of Jazzinc.

My biggest Black Series want by far is a 6" scale Red Five X-wing. I'm not interested in much else that line has to offer moving forward.

If money and space were not a problem I would definitely buy 2 1/6 SS and 3 1/6 XW lol

Porkins cover me!

Flare cartridges out of universe, and probably in-universe too.

Thanks for the insight. Can always rely on this forum for extra bits of knowledge

Considering the result ..I guess you are right..we don’t need it

Myrtle Beach is kind of a 1/6 scale Tatooine...from a certain point of view.

Sounds like an interesting day at work, and no threat of frostbite I trust? Lol.

I found these collection of articles on LFL that gives a nice call back to the glory days of working on ESB. Enjoy!
