Yep and DX23 from 6 months ago is nearly $50 cheaper

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

yep.
seen this on their page last night.
crazy price but what to do?

 

[Deinonychus]

I don't like this figure, have seen the proto up close and Luke has a moody face you just want to punch on it. Don't like the skintight clothes too, i'm sure he didn't have drainpipes in the movie.

Yep - its made it easier for me to be far more choosey with my purchases - which for me means a focus on OT.

Mix up 6" and 12"? The 6" stuff is getting sooo good these days.

Does anyone else find it odd that Hot Toys released this mini showcase video on a figure that still has over a year before it releases? Makes me wonder if he will show up way earlier than expected.

I really don’t want a diorama base that has someone’s heart in it … ewww

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

shame..
could have put Hoth Luke in there.lol

I read it simply as they haven't got as many pre-orders as they expected, so need to increase the marketing/advertising.

But I can be pretty cynical at times.....

Howard Chan says that's it for celebration...

Just hope the tailoring can be better done. Wasn't this skintight and Luke sure as hell wasn't so buff. Would like a new HS but definitely no hope on that sector.

Was hoping that the sculpt would look better with the ROTJ hair pieces than what that video shows. Looks good with the Endor and Snowspeeder helmets though.

What I’d really like to know is whether the DX07 head can be used with the Snowspeeder Luke, and vice versa. That way it’s easy to pass on the new Bespin Luke altogether.

I was curious about that too. I dont know if Im crazy about how it turned out though

Probably best to ask that in the Snowspeeder Luke thread if you haven't already. Not sure if anyone here has gotten theirs in-hand yet, but maybe someone over there can help you out. I do think someone put the DX07 hair piece on the Snowspeeder Luke head though, and if that's the case, then there's no reason that the helmet shouldn't fit on the DX07.

Same. It's not the enhancement to the ROTJ look I was hoping for.

Also, would be nice if the production lightsaber ended up being THAT bright in real life, but pretty sure it won't be.
