The Luke
Skywalker and Han Solo (Stormtrooper Disguise) 12" figure set from
Sideshow Collectibles is a truly remarkable pair! There was a bit of fuss
that the original 12" Stormtrooper figure
was too dull and Sideshow has listened to those comments and have given these
figure a brand new shiny gloss. We thought the Stormtrooper figure couldn't
be perfected, but Sideshow has broken our expectations in half and given us
a beautifully executed product. The figures' portraits are simply unbelievable
and as it seems that photographs do not appropriately grab the life in the
face that Sideshow has captured, you'll have to believe us that these look
even better in person. Luke Skywalker's utility belt is unique and has a
place to store his comlink as well as his grappling hook. (See photos for
reference.)
Sideshow has
sculpted the Stormtrooper helmets with infinite detail and they came out better
than we had ever hoped. Luke and Han's hands have been designed especially
well to hold these helmets and this is a big plus. The standard Stormtrooper
blaster has been included and fits in both of their right hands very well.
Completely sold out, we suggest trying the Wait List at Sideshow Collectibles,
but with a tiny edition size of 2000 pieces, we assume that the best of these
sets are basically gone. At $199.99, its a bit more than two Stormtroopers,
but remember that you are getting unique parts as well as new portraits of
Han Solor and Luke Skywalker. This is a must have for Sideshow collectors and
especially those who love anything Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope!
