Hot Toys DX Bespin Luke Skywalker

Can someone also explain the "UKE", I've seen it mentioned a couple times and I don't feel like scrolling through 1400 pages to find out what everyone means by it.

When you open the box there is a card explaining the figure blah blah but basically there is supposed to be a punch out spelling "luke" but there were more than a few that are misspelled "uke"

Looks like we both got badly packaged Luke's Terry:

Dicks!

Fine. So be it.

Just got to spend a little quality time with these fellas this evening. Turns out, after closer inspection, my battle damaged Luke was a little more battle damaged than he first appeared yesterday. Beside the broken pouch strap I had first noticed, both magnets on the holster strap were off and the lightsaber hook came off as well when I unhooked hos belt to fix the pouch. Pretty easy fixes, true, but jeez! Happy to report my "clean" Luke was issue free though...BD Luke's issues are still drying, but here's a reall quick shot of "clean" Luke...

I guess I should of paid closer attention when I was looking at the little title card, turns out I have a "UKE" as well haha.

Gonna grab some super glue tomorrow and patch up my antenna pieces.

LOL I wanted a UKE and was in the first EX batch but received a LUKE. Kinda like manufacturer defects for some reason

Exceptionally well-written.

A lot’s happened to Luke Skywalker by the time that “The Empire Strikes Back” begins. Since his requisite call to action from his now-deceased mentor, Obi-wan Kenobi, Luke has rescued a Princess, destroyed a planet-killing space station, been promoted to a Commander in the Galactic Rebellion, become the leader of Rogue Squadron, and he’s learned more than a little about the ways of the Jedi.

But, as my first Tae Kwon Do master used to say about me, Luke knew just about enough to get his *** kicked.

Luke Skywalker’s “Bespin” outfit is more than a costume. It’s a wearable totem, identified with a phase of his growth. When he dons these fatigues, thoughts of adventure and excitement still dominate his self-image. By the end of “Empire,” this symbolic uniform is left in bloody tatters … along with whatever remained of Luke’s boyhood expectations.

Love this pic...I'm so close to selling off my clean Luke, but that pic makes me want to unbox and display him.

I also dig that excerpt that Wor-Gar quoted.

 

[Billy Ray]

Yeah, love that pose with the clean Luke Rook!

I'm kind of surprised after seeing the light up weather vane that the carbonite chamber base doesn't have a light up feature like the sideshow figures do, just painted orange lights. That would of been fantastic.

I'm actually considering throwing some rare earth magnets into the weather vane to connect the two halves instead of glueing them back together. Thoughts?

 

[Fang]

Ooh I like that idea. Or maybe I just like magnets.
