Sideshow Previews Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Luke Skywalker Statue
The head sculpt looks off to me.
Agreed. The face is off. Refer to the old publicity photos of Mark Hamill wearing Bespin fatigues, and he looked much more youthful. The head itself seems too wide: Hamill's is more oval. It might look better in a photo taken from a different angle.
HT always does a nice job with costumes, though. Replace this head with the one from ANH, and you'd have a really smoking collectible.
I always liked the Bespin outfit. It's just cool.
I think it's the really thick head of hair that's making the head look off, I think the likeness is there, but the head shape slightly wide.
