Size Matters

Speaking of diminutive: the head of my Selfie Series figure is really small. This is in part down to selecting the X-Wing Pilot body—this is a sculpt that Hasbro has been using since the very first wave of the Star Wars Black Series Line in 2013. This doesn’t just mean it’s not as articulated or as detailed as more recent Hasbro figures, it also means it’s very small, and out of scale with either most modern Luke Skywalkers (here’s a comparison with the Yavin Ceremony Luke and 40th Anniversary Snowspeeder Luke that shows just how small the X-Wing pilot body is).

Next to more recent figures from the company regardless of line—like the Animated Series Peter Parker and George Lucas Stormtrooper above—it almost looks like a different scale, but it means that the head is reduced to match. Get a different figure and you’ll likely get a different sized head to better proportionally fit.
