That was a sculpt by Andy when the SSC Bespin Luke was being made, however this sculpt was not the one ultimately selected for the figure. There are some posts about it (by Andy) in the Bespin Luke Thread.

looks like luke ROTJ jedi knight to me

G-boy is right. This was Andy's bid for Bespin Luke. LFL turned it down, I believe.

They turned THAT sculpt down?!?! Does LFL just not own the rights to Hammils face or what?!?! :emperor

This is the Luke that should have been made instead of the "Brad Pitt" sculpt that was chosen.........Pitty....

I think the reason they passsed on it is He looks a bit too old for ESB. Regaurdless, It's the most fantastic luke sculpt I've ever seen.

Everytime a pic of this sculpt pops up it makes me want to force choke the LFL morons who passed on it.

A masterpiece forever lost.

It seems LFL wants more of a character sculpt than one that reflects the actor. I can understand the decision, but did they ever pass on a great sculpt

 

[pixletwin]

I think LFL is more into idealised recreations of characters rather than portraits of the actors.

I agree that this should have been used. Andy is amazing! I was impressed with the approved Bespin Luke in person, but this one goes in a different direction that I prefer.

That's a travesty.... This sculpt is miles better IMO, much closer to Bespin Luke than what we got. I just think the scarred face looks a lot closer to Hamill.

Andy's is nice, but I still prefer the one they went with. Just hope the paint job does it justice (unlike Yavin Luke's).

This sculpt is definitely more superior than what we got. This is a lot like the ROTJ version in that it looks just like Mark Hamil during the shooting of TESB. He is more aged and more realistic but I guess LF wants us to remember ESB Luke as a 'prettier' Luke.

I would be down for a sculpt as well, but sadly I don't see it happening.

I don't want to answer for Andy but here is what he has told me:

1) The Luke sculpt is the property of Sideshow, so he can not cast it and sell it.

2) He doesn't typically like taking on group commissions anymore. Way too many hassles for him.

I hope I didn't overstep any boundaries Andy.

Wow that is way better than what was chosen......I said it before and I say it again, Andy just needs to create his own company, so all these pieces he creates actually get released to the public.

Not at all Pixle! You're correct on all counts.


Glad you all like the head though!
