Build the ULTIMATE 6" Bespin Luke Skywalker (Star Wars Black Series Custom)
Вставка

- Luke Skywalker in Bespin fatigues is a fan favorite. But in Action Figure form, not so much. Don't worry, we can rebuild him and fix Hasbro's mistake...
Honestly I thought the head sculpt and paint apps on the Bespin Luke was fine, but the body desperately needs an update. Nice work!
Love your editing and humor. Hope to see more of your videos
Your sense of humor elevates this video from “pretty cool” all the way up to “F’ing EXCEPTIONAL!” I loved it! Keep up the great work 😊👍
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it.
You could use that extra luke head to make the confusing decapitated Darth Vader... Darth Vader figures are a dime a dozen at target right now!
Hey - That's an awesome idea! Me thinks that might be a future custom on the channel... 😶
How do you only have 400 subscribers?!
This is such high quality content and the figure is beautifully done!
@@Universe025 Thank you very much!
Wow. Looks absolutely perfect to me. Hope Hasbro actually tries with the next bespin luke.
Thank you! Let's hope 🤞
Awesome bro!!! That is the definitive Black Series Bespin Luke👏👏👏
Impressive! Most impressive!
A big improvement. Nice to see some techniques I hadn’t thought of using too, like using glue (and oil) to widen hand pegs 👏
This looks incredible, I was always curious if combining the 2 was possible and I conveniently have a spare of each
Sounds like you know what to do next...😎
Thanks for the kind words!
Nicely done! He's my favorite version too!
Thanks!
sh figuarts needs to do a 6" luke bespin!!!, --- I swiched to hot toys / sideshow 12" figs. - your custom is freaking awesome!!!!!!!
@@theSilentCutter Ikr! Luke Bespin and a proper ESB Vader would both be awesome from SHF.
Thanks for the kind words!
@@CollectorsCritical shame on hasbro for all the figures that still are not out! like 6" death star gunner,... gonk/power droid,..... death star droid/ra-7
@@theSilentCutter So true! Can't forget about 2-1b, FX-7, Lobot, bespin gaurd and so many others.
Great Job!
Thank you!
The Bespin sculpt is slightly exaggerated, but it actually looks like Hamill. The Degobah head sculpt looks like some long lost boy band member.
I just took the dagobah figure and I whipped together a custom cloth jacket for him
Holly! i can believe it's just 23 likes...This is awesome, man! You're an artist. I've just got these Darth Vader Empire's 40th blablabla and... man... my Luke is that first one black series from 2010's... I was thinkin' to buy that Dagobah Luke and just relace the head but... well, just watch your video and... shit... i don't have all those tools and pratice... that neck thing... i'm afraid i'm gonna mess up the whole...
Anyway, congratulations, your Black Series Collection must be the most!
Thank you for the kind words! We've got many more custom project ideas that will eventually make their way onto the channel. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Here's a good but DANGEROUS tip to remove original paint with a chemical stronger than alcohol. You can use Nail Polish Remover (acentone) BUT it will melt/ eat away the plastic if it stays on too long so the trick is you apply with a Q-tip, rub off the paint with the dry end of the same q-tip AND then run a lot of water over the part right after the paint comes off so the acetone washes away from the plastic. Try it on fodder parts first to get the hang of it.
If the paint were more stubborn I would've got out the big guns like acetone or brake fluid. Fortunately it didn't come to that for this...
@@CollectorsCritical I thought break fluid worked only on die-cast pieces like Hot Wheel cars. Interesting.
@@likonatera7452 Brake fluid can be used to strip some plastic. However brake Cleaner will always melt plastic.
I have some brush cleaner I was told works great. Bought some to de-cell shade my VHS xmen. Haven't used it yet. But, I DID use nail polish remover to take the tiger off the shirt of tiger force outback, and... woops. Didn't run water over it afterwards. Good thing it was for an "old man punisher" custom, and actually looked great a little beat up.
Anyway, yeah... brush cleaner. Got it off amazon.
@@RandomStuffGarage619 Sweet. I've never used dedicated brush cleaner myself, but as long as its not to abrasive you should be fine.
Brilliant! "The circle is now complete" got yourself a sub. keep upi the great content.
You made Mikkie B from DBK as Luke Skywalker
Technically hasbro released a third BS Bespin luke figure, except it's 8 inches tall and was a weird subline that failed. Would love to hear your thoughts on it!
@@tallietorchersproductions2740 I remember seeing those in stores. I almost bought one once, but couldn't justify it.
this is an excellently made video. definitely subscribing and checking out your other stuff. I Guarantee you'll probably hit 1k by the end of the week
Single jointed knees?! That5a downgrade bro. I actually took the legs off my old throneroom Luke and put them on my Mando Luke!
Excellent Video!
I am currently in the Proh-cess of copying this Proh-cess.
I will update on my Proh-gress. 😊
Wow I am amazed!!!! I am glad we have people like you to point out these figure inaccuracies.
Given that the farmboy luke is getting updated. I don't think it is unlikely to imagine that they probably will make a new bespin one.
I cant stand when a toy line doesnt stay consistent across joints/parts. Your custom looks a million times better!
Man, I'm glad I watched this. I have the all black version of degobah luke (from the "comic" Zahn trilogy) and only got it to use the head on bespin luke (I have both too, original and archive).
I had no idea the ball socket was different. However, being familiar with hasbro for over 2 decades, I'm not surprised whatsoever.
Thanks for making this! I will probably tackle this someday, but I will need that tan single pack degobah luke for sure. And I'm certain when I finally do it, hasbro will announce a perfect bespin luke 2 days after I finish.
Thank you!!!

@@RandomStuffGarage619 Glad to be of assistance! I definitely recommend giving this project a shot, its a lot of fun and the end result (even without weathering/dullcote) is well worth it.
Idk what the heck I just watched but I want a lot more. Subscribed! 👍
Oh that looks great! I think old #11 was... ok for the time, and the updated one does look better to me, but yours is the best by far. And it looks like the lightsaber doesn't stick out as bad when on the belt, so that's great!
Also reminds me how excited I was for SHFiguarts Empire figures, but that never happened. I also was hoping for some cool updates for the 40th, but that didn't happen either, which was definitely 100% the worst aspect of 2020, obviously.
Seems like Empire doesn't get as many figures, especially really good ones.
@@Peweskimooxy Yeah, Hasbro definitely missed the mark with the 40th. Tho some of the figures were good. I'd love some SHF Empire figures for sure. But I doubt that'll happen.
Way too much work for me, but a beautiful result!!
The jacket would work better as an overlay and the arms should be on butterfly joints....if Hasbro ever updates this figure.
@@bb7931 I wouldn't hold my breath...
you did that modification so smoooth man...aahahaha
The magic of editing lol
looks great but the belt is riding up to high:)
I enjoyed this video. I also subbed!
Have you looked at the black series hyper real one it was more expensive and a bit bigger curious on your thoughts
@@harlpckarcadia9410 I remember seeing those in stores. They were kinda interesting, but didn't do a whole lot for me personally since they were in a different and somewhat odd scale. Had they been 6" or 12" I may have just picked them up.
this is a great vid. subscribed!
Nice work! I’m inspired! Thanks for making this video!
@@JasonCartwright-z6s Glad you enjoyed it!
Great custom! What Hasbro needs to give us is double jointed pinless elbows and knees for black series figures. If they did that I’d probably buy more of them.
great job!
Super cool. Subbed.
The final figure was "impressive" and as a first time viewer i really enjoyed the style of presentation.Saying what needed to be said. Nice one!
Great job!
Fig "er". 🤣
Very entertaining. I like the comedy
@@paulschaefer5485 Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome results!!
Thanks!
@@CollectorsCritical rub poo on him!
....god damn it. Now I need to do this.
@@The_Rage_Kage You won't regret it. 😎
Looking at the ESB vision, I disagree his boots are brown
Cool job, your outcome is similar to the hyperreal one, soo good. Face is much better now, still, in my opinion the 6" snowspeeder luke face sculpting is the best, but major surgery is needed for a transplant like that.
The snow speeder Luke and the rerelease of Bespin Luke used the same exact face sculpt. They just changed the headwrap and hair for the respective releases. Paint apps vary between the two a bit as well, but it's the same sculpt underneath.
Excellent job dude great video
Good work! Hasbro seems to really struggle with this character. You've definitely gotten closer than they have!
Thanks!
Greay vid man. this deserves more views
This was beautifully done, gets me in the mood to make one myself but I’ve got too many projects already 😂
Bah, thats no excuse. It's a good rainy day or pallet cleansing project.
5:47 was hilarious. Great work. The figure looks great. Thinking about getting into doing this kind of stuff.
@@JonO387 Thanks! I definitely recommend giving customizing a try, it's a blast!
Fantastic video. Love a good custom black series ❤
Thanks! All in good fun.
Amazing job!
WELL DONE
Nice work
Excellent work on a fantastic modification! 👍
@@WeerdWulf Thank you!
Brilliant! keep up the awesome work!
Thanks! We got plenty more on the way!
@@CollectorsCritical Awesome!
Buy 2 figs switch their heads. End of video.
You know, you should actually watch the whole video before making a comment....
Makes you look like a bit of a simpleton...
Just sayin'
Love it
