Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

[PopCultKid]

I still need to add a snow speeder pilot Luke to my lot but have the Hoth. Five and counting from this set.
ESB clean
ESB battle
ESB dagoba
ESB Hoth
ROTJ Jedi

Bingo. Dagobah training. I knew I was forgetting one. Speaking of which, where is the backpack sling that everyone is using from again? One of the Hasbros?

 

[jedijim3002]

Yup. That's the one I use.

Those are some nice Luke customs, jim. The Hasbro Hoth duds look good. I just wish the hat was smaller and fit better.

So...many...Lukes. Nice customs, jedijim.

I posted this in the jedi luke customs thread:

I gave my very first attempt today at making an RotJ hair piece for Luke (at serious sculpting or painting). Please, critiques are very welcome. I'm learning as I go. Still need to add the varnish, maybe cleanup a bit before I do.

Thanks to jedijim and Rorywan for the inspiration.

Then I have to wait for my Medi Jedi Luke to get here, but I doubt it will before Thanksgiving.

Thanks bro. I'd like to adjust the Hoth duds and make the hat fit better. Ill see what I come up with.

 

[jedijim3002]

Plasmid that's a good start on sculpting. Keep at it. Your on the right track.

Nice custom's jim ,coco ...I think it's funny the reason why i was hesitant on buying was didn't doubles of same character...Now that i have him i pretty much finished my dagobah set up and VADER vs Luke fight scene and very happy i bought...Just hope hot toys does set's like this more often mainly meaning 2 figure's in one at a decent price with all the xtra's...

The Hoth get up really is good and the HT bits give it a quality boost. Very nice. I'd love to have your Luke line up, you have all of my picks. IDK if I'll pull that many together but if I had to pick one, I'd go ESB X-Wing

.

Then I have to wait for my Medi Jedi Luke to get here, but I doubt it will before Thanksgiving.

Looking good brother

Man, I really need a Jedi outfit but I don't want to buy a whole figure. Is it possible to get one cheap? Which is better SS or Medi?

 

[Smudger9]

Awesome shots guys. This figure really is the coolest thing I've ever bought. Now give me Solo, Hot Toys!!!

You know this isn't the same face as the Jedi Luke. ROTJ was made after Mark Hamill went riding his motorcycle without a helmet and messed up his face.

Actually it is. He did corvette summer between ANH and ESB. That's why his face looks so different between those two movies. His accident was before they started filming empire so Jedi Luke and bespin Luke have the same face.

Star Wars.com has this quote:

"A car accident in early 1977 did extensive damage to Hamill's face, and the actor underwent reconstructive surgery prior to filming The Empire Strikes Back."

Since they finished principle shooting in 1976 this makes sense.

I have a SS one I'd sell to you but the Medi is the best one. If you want it I have the jumpsuit, belt, vest, and boots.
I'm keeping the cloak and the sabers. You can have the body head and hands too if you want them.

Edit:
Oh and I'm keeping the bone from the rancor put as well. Pm me if your interested. CHEAP!

"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] which required seven hours of surgery. As a result of the accident, a double was used for the landspeeder pickup shots.[5]"

Hence the Wampa attack in TESB....

 

[jedijim3002]

Yup. Exactly what I said. I didn't know about the last pick up scenes though. It makes sense when you look at a lot of the production pics from ANH and see a ESB face with ANH outfit. Maybe they annoy those after the accident too.
