Hot toys Snowspeeder Pilot Luke Skywalker

Threadator said:

Is anyone else’s Snowspeeder Luke head very loose? Not sure if it’s the actual head or the neck peg but it’s definitely not connecting all the way and slumps forward backward and side to side. Luckily I ordered from SS so they should be able to replace it but I was just wondering if this was a known issue. I do seem to remember some HT Jango head sculpts being loose.

Mine it tight.

Are you sure it's connected at all? Once I got the helmet on properly I had to use a lot of force, more than I was comfortable with really to get it seated again.

Same. I was worried I was going to break the helmet.

Ditto. I finally used a ball peen hammer to help seat it in the neck joint. A few quick strikes to the noggin got it sorted out.

Luke and my custom Dak work in progress. Still need to weather Dak's helmet and upgrade to the Chris Redfield sculpt.

Looks awesome - is that the same Redfield headsculpt?

Also with Dak you have the option of black leather boots or snow boots. He wears the black leather (like all the other pilots) in the Leia base briefing scene but later appears to have swapped into snow boots in the short post-battle Luke farewell scene.
I realized I didn't have an extra grey web belt so have to make one.

Thanks. That sculpt is just a generic DiD sculpt. I am still waiting on the Redfield sculpt.

I will probably swap out the boots for the leather ones. I noticed a lot of the pilots and Echo Base troopers wore them.

I love this figure. Got it in an incredible two weeks after HK release. Record timing!

I definitely had some trouble with the helmet. Wish it wasn't in so many pieces and yes, of course, I fit the chin straps inside the head wrap. It just fit easier that way, but I changed it to the way it is supposed to be. While I hope I didn't scratch the face of the sculpt, I will never display him without wearing the helmet.

Nobody but Luke wears the snow boots as a pilot before the battle - he must have gotten speciall permission to vary the uniform with those boots and wearing his own leather utility belt as well.

Has anyone successfully gotten the light-up LED lightsaber fitted to the arm? You think it's hard getting the helmet on....

Just unboxed my 2 snowspeeder Luke’s. Phenomenal figure and probably the best Luke release so far. The weathering, the outfit, and just everything is great. Hopefully an x wing Luke isn’t too far behind.

Looking good Chaka!!!

Happy with this figure. Used the spare hair piece on one of my ROTJ Luke figures (looks better than the wind swept hair imo)

Such a good looking figure.

Yeah I skipped the Sideshow one and have been waiting years for this release. Feels good to finally have this in my collection. Dare I buy another one for more posing options LOL

I have the Sideshow, which displays well, but I've already demoted his position in the display ready for the arrival of the HT - whenever that will be.

The blaster for this outfit connects to the Muppet Show (the only - and unique - blaster that Luke uses in this outfit,) while the lightsaber (for a couple of shots at least) connects to the unique lightsaber from the SW Holiday Special.

Luke after having the fat suit removed. Doesn’t look so bulky any more
