Is this his final sculpt, or is he still being tweaked before his official reveal?

Thanks!

Luke is done and fully approved internally and through Lucas Film, so no tweaks will be occurring with the piece.

Unfortunately the position the piece was shown on Sideshow live looks visually as if the piece is leaning forward when in fact Luke is leaning back in the piece. A recommendation will be going in to the team to see about using a turntable of some kind in the future in order to do at least a 360 (or at least to show different angles of a piece easily), to give viewers a better look at future pieces. When photos are released showing more of Luke at different angles it will fully convey the pose of him.

It's possible but since I still don't have a locked in list of what will be at SDCC then I can't confirm if it will be on display at this time.

The Alien King Maquette is still expected to ship sometime between this month and July. A final production sample just came in house less than a week ago, so production photos and an unboxing video are expected to be published by the end of this month.

Any questions about the actual final box dimensions and ship costs will need to be asked to our Customer Service department directly as they have the info and I would not. They can be reached in a few ways:

Phone number: 1-855-SIDESHOW

Hi ALex,

sorry - last question from my end for a while - promise

1. Will his saber light up?
2. Are you hinting in that picture a new Vader PF ?

The expectation is that the saber will light up.
That is not a hint for a future new Vader PF.
