Sideshow - Star Wars - Luke Skywalker - Red Five X-wing Pilot


Sideshow Collectibles​ 

Announced : 2014 October
Released : 2015 December

1)Packaging - 5.5

- External - 6 
The art print of prototype Luke simply reminds you how bad the final product is. Sideshow quality on its box is dropping too, cheap art paper hence making it easily dented.
- Internal - 5
Even the internal transparent plastic is cheaply produced, both plastics not attaching nicely, creating loose ends.

2) Sculpting - 6.25
- Head - 7
Prototype was fantastic but the final product is quite disappointing, something is wrong with Luke's eye, the hair sculpt is quite bad, making him like a Barbie ken doll.  
- Hands - 6
- Legs - 6
- Accessories - 6

3) Paint - 5
- Head - 4
Bad!!! Eyes paint job is as if year 2005 technology, skin tone lack of 2-3 layers, Mark Hamill's moles are painted as if paint defects....just bad.
- Hands - 5
- Legs - 5
- Accessories - 6
Those tools slotting around his arms, legs and waist were painted grey whilst they were silver on prototype; helmet paint job is satisfactory, with weathered effect that contradicts with his clan outfit lol. 

4) Articulation - 5
- Head - 6
Crazy long neck peg that exposed the gap, I had to change it to a Hottoys neck.
- Body - 6
- Hands - 4
Hard material limiting the flexibility
- Legs - 4
Hard material hence he could only stand straight 

5) Accessories - 5

That helmet visor doesn't work properly on mine
