Thanks! I ordered from Toys Wonderland on Monday and used some points to get it down to a reasonable price. I should have preordered the thing but I hesitated.

All of his bases do but I'd be bankrupt trying to equip all my figures with them

I'm thinking this guy would go best on the deluxe bespin Dagobah base to match up with Yoda and then bespin Luke on the carbon chamber base

I’m glad the weird stands Hot Toys makes keeps @Cocoboloboy busy. Fans always step up when companies fail.
This figure has such a weirdly bland but over-designed stand with a bunch of cheap gimmicks shoved in for no reason.
I can’t imagine anyone using it to hang the figure from the wall or ceiling or even realizing there’s a magnetic feature.

@Cocoboloboy gorgeous shots as usual, never get tired of seeing your shots
Thank you, guys!
So I’m trying to figure out how to properly connect the grapple gun to Luke’s belt for an AT-AT suspension shot. Also, I have no idea what that silver thing is that he’s unclipping to release the line and drop.

I’m guessing it’s around this area but they embellished it in a single insert shot to make it clear what he was doing. I don’t think that release latch is on the figure or in the wide shots of the film either.
It looks like the end of the grapple goes directly into something just below the left corner of the chest box in the movie but there’s no real definitive shot. There’s really no shot of that connector he unclips either. It’s as if they decided to just add that part in the close up shot.

Stop making me want this! Gah!
The HT grappling gun has numerous accuracy errors and the clip connector is one of those (it's longer and more chunky than HT made it, more like a long lobster clasp.)
However the way the grappling gun connects to Luke in the movie isn't consistent. As he's running below the ATAT it's connected to the extra loop beside the saber loop on his leather utility belt.
As he's drawn up and hanging, it's actually connected to the silver-grey X-wing webbing belt worn UNDER his parka jacket (all other snowspeeder pilots wear their belt where Luke wears his utility/gun belt) and fed out through the parka jacket split, above his leather belt's buckle.
When he unclips and falls, the set-up is quite different - the insert scene actor has the webbing belt worn together with the leather gun belt, now with the grappling gun's clip visibly attached to the webbing belt.
It's unclear what is actually triggered to release him and let him fall - it appears a quick-release mechanism is located within that ribbed grey hose on the very back of the grappling gun, that you pull up (i.e making the ribbing bunch up) to access it.
So I guess connecting the clip to the loop of the leather belt is fine, though in reality for safety (ie to reliably hold his weight) Luke would be crazy to connect it to that instead of the webbing belt.

Figure of the year for sure for me.
Ordering this week from TBA!!

I guess it’s dealer‘s choice as to how to attach the gun if someone wanted to display the figure getting hoisted up to the ATAT. Plus it sounds like it’s not really designed properly to replicate that scene anyways.

Love the base Coco !!
Do you happen to have a collection shot with all your figures on their bases ? Would love to see that and how it looks !
