Thanks, Kit! This suddenly showed up yesterday.

Agreed. While the belt was a different sculpt and slightly better color on the proto, it was still a single piece of low resolution rubber. And the Mego looking gauntlets and complete lack of transition to the gloves was already present there. With some proper futzing and better photography, it...

I've been working this past week on the neck and installation of the whole helmet. Since I split the base of the helmet, the peg that goes into the head now sits much higher within the head (with the joint around the actual base of the skull). So this meant increasing the neck length. I made a...

I love the lighting in this shot!

Great setups, and beautiful poses! I really like the groupings, and each figure stands out in its own way because of the unique poses.

My current progress: I sanded the tubes off completely with grit 240, 400, 600 and 1000 I sculpted the chin vent in super sculpey. Still need to sand it Thinned the lower "lip" of the mouth Next steps are resculpting the silver nose slightly, priming everything, and then building the mouth and...

Thanks! This is the part I love most about customizing (dremeling, re-tooling, adding small details, etc), so I'm having a lot of fun with this. For some reason I hadn't considered repainting the entire things until @matrix69 posted his 1:6 custom. That actually solved some roadblocks in my...

Same here. First time ordering a HT from kit for me instead of from an EU shop. I guess this means no more extra months of waiting once he releases in HK. :) I've had SSC Maul V1, SSC V2 and the HT Maul V1, and this release was still an instant pre-order for me, so I fully get you. I...

Same here. I've been refreshing every few min for the past hour trying to get into his first batch. :lol

For a 15-16 year old figure, that looks pretty good! Hurricane was really ahead of his time. His Vaders still rival today's HT efforts in terms of accuracy. Unfortunately he passed away a few years ago. I believe his wife posted using his account.

I'd love to see that!

I really only need the sculpts - I don't see any improvements from the neck down - but I'm just going to get the whole thing. I don't want to go through the hassle of having to snag two highly sought after sculpts off TA, and Maul is just too important to me. There's no need to worry about the...

I still have my Mando Luke boxed up sans sculpt (which I'm using on my ROTJ Luke), and I was thinking that I might use parts of it to make a Dark Empire inspired Luke of my own in the future. Now that I see this version, it's not doing much for me though. I think part of the reason though is...

Somebody posted in the other thread that that was a mistranslation.

This looks pretty cool overall based on these shots. But I'm happy that I don't see much of (ROTJ) Hamill in there, so I don't feel the need to upgrade the sculpt yet again. :lol
