Definitely at least partially that. I was getting ready to pull the trigger on this guy for $180 at one point, but might as well hold out for the deluxe.

Yes. If it is a cell phone picture, you have to do an “edit” and save that edit or else it posts sideways.
Crop the shot just a little and it will post correctly....

Digging the Swoosh effect, but wish it was made slightly differently. I wish they can mold it so that there's one side that's thicker than the other to represent the current position of the blade, and have the nub that goes into the handle be aligned with the blade. Currently with the nub at the centre, it looks very much like a fan.

Sorry if this has been answered before, but how do you remove the boots? Do you just...pull?

Yup. Feel it out though beforehand and don't just yank it out.

Grab ahold of the boot and gently pull down. The boot should pop off leaving either the ankle peg on the leg or inside the boot.

My biggest gripes with this figure have been the hairpiece (don't like the color or the shape) and the fatsuit (totally unnecessary, and wrong, for ROTJ Hamill). So, I ditched the fatsuit, took the shirt in a little at the sides, and recently tried making my own hairpiece. The hair strands and paint app are not nearly as refined or professional-looking as the actual Hot Toys version, but I can live with it because of the shape and color being closer to how I think they should be.
Anyway, here's a couple pics of how everything ended up (using the lightsaber arm, but with a Hasbro blade; and the bare hand is not the HT one because I wanted a slightly smaller one).
I would've preferred if HT hadn't done the bottom row of teeth (or at least not as pronounced), but I can't see why there are some who have a problem with the face sculpt. Seems like a good Hamill likeness to me, and certainly better than the ANH sculpt.

Thanks, guys. And thank you, Jedijim for the instructions. I’ve never done something like this before and it was nerve wracking. The fat suit is puzzling, as it has even more padding on the sides. Luke needed love handles?
Overall, I’m really happy now that I’ve removed it from the upper torso, even if the belt is a little big now. Looks way more like Mark back then.
Need to get rid of those good awful teeth peeking out like an inner beak.
I wonder if just taking a super fine brush and blacking out the lower row of teeth might work. Or will that leave too much of a black gap, giving a slack-jaw look?
The teeth on this one don't bug me anywhere near as much as the HT Endor Luke - aka Looth Skywalker.
I wonder how the windswept custom Luke is going to look painted up. There's a lot of enamel on show there too.

Well black out the uppers OR the lowers -- but one level of teeth, at least, need to go.
The lowers look most distracting to me. It's unnatural looking.

This sculpt is kind of peculiar for me. Overall I think it's a good sculpt, but at the same time there's still something off about it to where I think it could have been a bit better and I can't quite pinpoint what it is. And believe it or not, it's not the expression nor the teeth like many people think, because whenever I see screen shots such as this:
..I think it's a good expression to have gone with for this figure.
As was mentioned, I think the gritted teeth sculpt that comes with the Endor figure is way more awkward looking than this one.

If only that pic had his teeth ever so slightly parted. 
Try and do what the HT sculpt is doing. It's near impossible to do it and have it look natural.

Yeah that's true, the teeth parted is a bit awkward. I actually forgot they were that parted (haven't looked at this sculpt close up in a little bit). lol
You can tell they were going for an expression like in that screen grab though, which I do think is a good expression for him to represent RotJ. Perhaps actually filling in the part with white might be a better route as opposed to blacking out one row of teeth?
