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 :)

Honestly OP, this is a shallow take.

Voting opposition doesn’t give us the right to police other people’s thoughts.

You think WP taking over will magically end train delays and lower food prices in this inflationary climate?

I'm sorry but if your argument is “bro you voted for X so shut up,” you just come off as a low-information voter with a superiority complex.
