"What a piece of Junk!"
I know the price point on this figure sucks *** and the fact that it's a Luke figure. But as far as the portrait and the outfit goes, I really do think they got the portrait dead on, and the outfit is fine I guess.. But then, I never really liked any of the Luke outfits except for maybe Jedi Luke so.. The wrists joints are definitely a disappointment!
With the portrait, I think the problem might be is that Luke looked quite different in ANH vs Empire.. He aged some bit between those two movies. And then he really aged in Jedi. I don't know what kind of drugs hamill was on, or if he just partied with cigarette and alcohol, but he got older really quick.
But you guys are expecting Luke to look like he did in those last two films and that's not what he looked like a ANH. He looked very different and very much like the Medi/Enter portrait. So lets focus on the real reason why this figure sucks, the Price!

Car accident
On January 11, 1977, one day before he was set to shoot one of the final scenes needed for Star Wars, Hamill was in a car accident in which he fractured his nose and left cheekbone.[4] According to Star Wars producer Gary Kurtz, Hamill was in surgery from 9 AM until 4 PM. As a result of the accident, a double was used for the landspeeder pickup shots.[5]
Meh. (maybe for 150$)
I'm surprised you didn't know about his car accident.
This figure looks like it was in a car accident. Why don't they just sell the electronic lightsaber!?! They'd make millions!

It seems like I can never get everything I want out of a 1/6 figure. So now I have to buy a $300 figure for the body and proper head size, then spend 60 to $100 for the sideshow to get the boots and other accessories that this one is lacking and repaint the face to make him look less like a girl? WTFrack! It seems like I'm constantly having to customize these things to make them screen accurate. Maybe we should start our own company, get the licenses, and show them all what these figures should look like and what should come with them! Who's with me! Anyone... Bueler?
