Huh, not really a big fan of the TLJ outfit, so I'd go with this one for an old Luke, really sells the seasoned Jedi look, however I feel $230 is a bit much for this. Maybe if it came with a lightsaber, either his old one or the one from RotJ, but as is, it doesn't seem worth it. Might as well wait a couple months for the price to go down like all the other TFA hot toys

Great pics!
Excellent futzing job with the cloak as well.
Thanks, SS! Tried the "taking off the hood pose" but failed. Currently just have the hood up and monkey arms hidden.

No problem. 
Yeah, the taking off the hood pose is a bit tricky. Neither of his hands can really actually grasp the hood, so you just have to fix it to look like he is grabbing it. Having the arms bent up in that pose though also conceal the monkey arms.

Really loving this figure.
Lol!

I just changed the giant hand for a generic one.

Awesome pics guys. You're really making me want this figure.

So, I don't know if this has come up yet, but as I was posing Luke for shot, I wondered why they didn't just re-use the Obi-Wan hands for this, instead of these oversized mitts. So I pulled out Ben's hands and compared. They are the exact same hands - size and all.
And I realized then that it's the giant wrist pegs that are making the hands look huge. I swapped them out for the extra Obi-Wan pegs and it looks completely normal now. (This isn't reflected in the phot below).
I'll post the link to my review tomorrow. Really wish he had come with a lightsaber though. Who knows, he may not use it in TLJ either I guess. Nah, c'mon he HAS to!

Thanks for pointing out the wrist pegs, those belong on the hulk mid-transformation, not luke Skywalker.
Exactly! I pulled one from Obi-Wan and everything looks good now (he's still too thin though!)
It should be? One is for an armored figure of a young character and one is for an old fart version of the same character in a bathrobe.
They all (farmboy, short stormtrooper/stormie Luke, Bespin, TFA) seem pretty different judging by photos.

Er - shouldn't they be the same? He's the same height, it's just that he needs a lot of padding now to look accurate.
Armored figures often have skinnier bodies and then foam padding for the armor to stay tight. And he's an older fatter man in TFA, all around, not just in the torso, so I'd guess that every part is thicker to begin with.
Here's the TFA body--you can see the thicker legs and forearms compared to the farmboy one below. Hard to find the stormie Luke body without the suit on.

Simple truths about the flaws of this figure but I'm happy to own him... he's far from perfect. Actually I'd give it a 6/10 at best.
1) his portrait is not amazing. Too bad as hans was
2) there is not enough gray in his beard
3) his feet are huge... awful they look like old sideshow feet
4) the wrist leg makes his arm way long. Fixed by swapping to a small one
5) his fat suit situation is all wrong. He's both too skinny and too fat... it's basically just not his build
6) his tunic situation is wrong. Basically it's not just too small it can't wrap across his chest unless he's not padded and then he looks too skinny. And to alter it you need to cut the stitching in the front.
7) his neck is way way too long
8) his rubble base is just stupid. There's no room for his feet with the rocks
9) he can't hold his hood. Which is the only thing he's supposed to be able to do.
10) he does not come with a lightsaber hilt. Even if he did not grab it in the film it's integral to the scene.
11) his hood sucks so bad. That inner fabric lip is massive and it won't allow the hood to sit on his head and then there is this nasty stupid seam through the middle.
