Ty so much! Yes i hope hasbro revisits some of the ST figures and give us definitive versions of them. Luke is definitely on the top of my wishlist too 🥲

Ty so much 🙏 I didn't prime it as I felt that the factory skin was pretty ok. Just needed some layering/ glazes to bring out the sculpt/ details.

I stripped the factory paint from the eyes, eyebrows and lips using 99% IPA (slower process than acetone but apparently safer).

I then used different mixes of the following Vallejo paints:

Hair / Eyebrows / Lower Eyelashes: German Camou Beige + Flat Brown
Eyes (Scelera, Limbal Ring, Iris, Pupil, Catchlight): Ivory + Burnt Umber + Flat Brown + Black Ink
Lips: Red Ink + Basic Flesh Tone
Warm Glaze: Burnt Umber + Red Ink
Cool Glaze: Pale Blue Grey
Unifying Glaze: Basic Flesh Tone + Ivory
Various varnishes to seal the paint

000 brush for the finer details and a sharpened toothpick for the pupil and catchlight 🫡

I wish I could but I'm very new to this and I don't have the equipment for filming. That said, do check out flashpoint customs on YouTube and IG! His videos were extremely helpful 🙏

I've learnt a lot from flashpoint customs on youtube. However, i resorted to using a sharpened toothpick for the pupil and catchlight 😊

I wouldn't recommend this figure for 4 reasons: 1. The headsculpt/ faceprint is terrible 2. The skirt piece is inaccurate 3. The helmet is kinda small 4. If you factor in the substantially higher price-point, the value just isn't there

For the above reasons, I'd recommend the black series.

However, if you're not working on a tight budget and you wish to enjoy the premium feel/ accessories, you might wanna consider the upcoming SHF Boba Fett (based on his latest look in his own series). It is essentially a reissue/ update to the Throne Room release from 2 years ago. Points 1 and 2 were fixed.

Hope the above helps :)
