I think there's something goofy about it.  I think it's the broadness of the shoulders / the size of the arms.

What I'd really like to see is one with a nice cloak, soft goods, with a wire in it... one that looks like he did when he first strolled into Jabba's palace.

I like the shoulders only because every image of Luke I've seen has him pretty broad shouldered looking due to the outfit's snugness.  It was pretty form-fitting IIRC. 

I don't think the head is perfect, but I think it's very good.  I blame most "issues" I have with it on the paintjob, which is a hand-painted proto anyway, so no worries.  The factor figure will most likely look different by a bit.  Hopefully different better.

The sculpt I'm perfectly fine with though.  I liked that figure when it was released with the softgoods robes on it.  I agree with Rob, I'd like to see him come with a softgoods outer cloak someday, along with the under robes, so we had a good Jabba's Palace Luke too that was complete with maybe two hands, perhaps three.

Likewise I'd enjoy seeing him redone then as Endor Luke...

This figure seems very good for DS2 Luke though.  I'm quite pleased.  Love that he has the binders for pop to force-undo for him too.  Nice touch.

Whoops, you're right.  I wasn't thinking right on that.  Same difference...  I liked the "show of power" even if I can't recall who did it.  :-X

After looking at the various photos out there for the DS Luke, I'm beginning to wonder what are we actually getting? In the SDCC display, Hasbro showed the figure with the binders and the alternate chest flap at his feet. The presentation photo shows him with the binders and now a lightsaber, but no extra chest flap. Finally, the poster shows him with the binders, no lightsaber and what looks like the soft good portion of his tunic most notably below his waist and to some extent around his neck. So, I'm back to the original question - what are we actually getting?

Well, looks like my answer has come to the above question as JediInsider posted carded shots of this wave. So, I guess this next question is why the hell did they choose the ANH portrait to use on the card back? Seems like a odd/bad choice considering the figure.

I have to respectfully disagree with ya, JJ- I thought he was quite narrow-shouldered throughout.  I like this concept figure drawing Cramer from RS doodled based on a film image:

Here is a better shot of Nunb (whoever he is)



Who is fugly pilot #25 that looks like the son from King of the Hill?


I think there's something goofy about it.  I think it's the broadness of the shoulders / the size of the arms.

Got to agree with Rob on this one. The ball jointed chest is what's throwing this figure off. In order to accommodate for that joint and the arm joints it bulked him up. I am not a fan of that joint on Star Wars figures, it limit there use for customs and sometimes, with this being one of them, messed the aesthetics up.

Did he even fly a B-wing in the movies?

I believe he is seen in the Rebel Briefing scene as wearing the B-Wing Pilot gear

It thought that the guy in the briefing is supposed to be a different Sullustan entirely? I think someone mad a mistake on the name plate.

Many moons ago I was told that the white-suited pilot Sullustian is a prototype costume, not used in the movie, and the red one was the real movie version of Ten Numb.   White Ten was in the Chronicles book and made it into the toy line and comics... so now it's the "real" one.

Apparently someone changed their minds along the way.

I've taken a good, long break from all this junk and it's really been nice. I'm starting to see a bit too much stuff that I'm gonna want... :-\

This wave looks pretty damn hot. I'm especially looking forward to the Ewoks, though. I've had a real bug up my ass for them since Chirpa came out. Can't wait to get these ones! I'm liking NoApaak as a possible mother for Nippet.... :)

There's plenty of lubes for it, too.

The Slave Leia, Ewoks, and Jedi Luke Skywalker figures are the figures I'm looking forward to the most.

The packaged shot of Nysad shows the paint apps have taken a hit.
Giran looks stunning.
Major Panno looks fun.
OBviously Luke could be much improved...but i must build R3 01,so no pass.
