Enough of the Lukes!!!

[Fubeca]

OK anyone else tired of all the Luke Figures. Aren't there one or two other characters that could come out instead of all the Dang Lukes!!!

Am I alone on this??

 

[pixletwin]

I agree. I would like to see OLD BEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[rw23]

I like Luke!

 

[dekadentdave]

What, you don't want Kick-The-Rock Binary Sunset Luke?

 

[Prime Clone]

C'mon, this is only the second 12" Luke. And he IS the core character of the OT.

Plus the two or three PF's. It would be good if we could get other characters instead of 4 or 5 or 6 or whatever of one character. :maul

I agree. I would like to see OLD BEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

And when we do, I'm sure there will be an "Enough of the Obi-Wans" thread. I think only 2 figures in 15 months of the most important OT character is absolutely fine, infact, if they announced a Tatooine Luke next week, I'd be over the moon.

2 Lukes... 2 Leias... no Emperor? no Bounty Hunters? no Tarkin? a little more variety before the repeats would be ideal...

 

[gambit]

I HATE LUKE :emperor

 

[big al]

Who's Luke???

 

[Prime Clone]

Plus the two or three PF's.

It's two, don't exaggerate!

I'm sure Sideshow have done their research and gone with what's most likely to sell. Translation: It's what most customers want!

oh yeah, that's why Luke & Yoda PF exclusive is still avaliable after months of release

and also both Luke PF's are selling cheaper than the 12" figures at ebay

I will be laughing with my ..ss if SS will make one more Luke

I dont think we are getting to many Luke's. We need to get Tatooine Luke this year and then next year hopefully we will get a Bespin version since next year will be the ESB focus on the 12" line. Last year was ROTJ this year will be ANH and next year will be ESB. Sideshow has said this from day one and I think they will stick to it.

if SS was making 10 PF each year I would understand this. However, there are only 7-8 PF's so far and 2 of them are Luke. Needless to say both Luke's are dirt cheap at ebay.

 

[PosterBoyKelly]

LUKE OWNS....... face it

 

[Shropt]

Who's Luke???

Anakin's son. You know, from those space movies that came out in the 90's.

 

[The Josh]

I'd like to see a nice space between the C4 Luke and the next one.

 

[abstractharmony]

I'd like to see 'Keg Party Luke'. Leia's Bra on his head, bermuda shorts, thongs and a lightsaber shaped bong.

Not sure if that would pass licensing though...they could use the ROTJ sculpt.

Seriously though, if we got a tattoine Luke in the next 6 months and maybe an X-Wing Luke at the end of year I wouldn't be surprised.

And so it should be.

Luke was the main character from the first 3 movies.

First off, it makes no sense to even compare PF to the 12" collectibles. There is a much smaller market for the PF than there is for the 12"ers. While everyone here loves them, overall, the Star Wars market prefers 12" figures. That's evident by the fact that most of the PF are worth less than retail right now. Even the all mighty Grevious with cape has begun to slide back closer to retail. Heck, my friend managed to win an auction for a regular Grevious for 230 bucks last month. Star Wars PF do not hold their value ... or at least, have not so far. So, trying to use the cost of Luke as proof that collectors don't want Luke is faulty logic.

The Tatooine PF and the convention exclusive PF version count as the same figure ... don't care if they were posed slightly different. Plus, the Dagobah Luke and Yoda wasn't a Luke centric release. SSC has gone on record as saying they produced it mainly to get a PF Yoda to the collector. Due to his size, it wouldn't have been reasonable to expect us to spend 200 to 300 on a Yoda only PF ... would it?

Besides, this Luke is not a regular release. It's a convention exclusive ... much in the same way Sith-eyed Anakin was the year before. How can you fault them for producing an exclusive for the A New Hope anniversary based on the movie's main focus/character?

As far as I am concerned, we have one regular Luke and one convention exclusive Luke ... just like Anakin. And that ratio seems fair.

P.S. You know there is a Tatooine Luke scheduled for later this year ... they wouldn't produce a new sculpt just for the convention. So, could everyone get their *****in' out now. The OT is Luke's story. So, there will be multiple Lukes. Just learn to deal with it.

I want a Darth Vader figure....Luke can go to hell if he want...VADER RULES!!!


PS: I was joking...Luke is cool too
