Hot Toys DX24 & DX25 Bespin Luke Skywalker (Regular and Exclusive versions)

[Wor-Gar]

Yikes, disappointing.

Oh well, good to have choices I suppose with parts.

I think the DX07 looks more accurate face wise. I might be in the minority. I see a better likeness.

Glad for a rereleased but just dont see this as an upgrade. Maybe costume is more accurate, idk, but just missing lots of features of the DX07, base, extra head, clothing, and damaged options.

I'm not sure if it has a better likeness, but the DX07 does at least have that more gaunt look he had in the movie. And I just don't see enough of an improvement here for me to want to upgrade.

This Luke just seems far too wide in the face and thick overall with the padded suit. And for me the ROTJ/Snowspeeder sculpt is still the closest they've ever come to Hamill.

Like the the DX23 Luke I suspect this will look amazing in hand. The initial photos didn’t do that one any favors and I think this is the same.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It will look alot better without the superhero fatsuit.

 

[jedibear]

The blogger shots are NOT doing this one any favors. And what's up with the fat suit? Tailoring WAY too neat (I know, weird complaint). Most of those shots are screaming "male model", not Luke Skywalker. It's like...

 

[hen88]

Why all the fuss about the fat-suit? It really doesn't look that different from the prototype. And you can remove it if you really want to.

 

[Stryker2011]

That messy hair is NEVER leaving the box. Yikes!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Some of the blogger photos look very natural and realistic in the body proportions, and then you get a shot like this...

All puppet-like, bobble-headed... Thunderbirds are GO!

 

[FlyAndFight]

The sweaty hair piece looks awful.

Outside of the head sculpt (face) itself, I see no need to upgrade from the DX07.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, lots of little issues with this that just don;t add up to a superior figure. Better, maybe... but not $300 upgrade worthy.

Maybe Justin's review will change my mind.

The DX07 IMO has a better / more realistic costume and body shape and set up. No need for me to update my Bespin Luke torso. This dissapointing release has actually made my decision a lot easier. What I’ll probably do now is get the Mando Luke and then along with my Snowspeeder Luke and ROTJ Deluxe Luke I’ll have pretty much every conceivable Luke option, as far as costumes, head sculpt and hair pieces.

No Tatooine Luke?

No Tatooine Luke?

The Luke that started it all! The base Luke. Proto-Luke. The Innocent. The Boy. The One. The Hero who destroyed the Death Star.

No Tatooine Luke...? Sacrilege.

Yup that's what I'm thinking as well. I'm not getting this one though. Just glad to have a quick enough turn around at another shot to get the headsculpt since the DX23 ones are going so quickly on part out sites.

No Tatooine Luke?

Oh yes, I have Tatooine Luke. But Marks face changed considerably after SW. To the point where I can remember seeing Empire as a 7 year old at the flicks and thinking Thats not Luke Skywalker?… So I always see Farmboy Luke as a completely different guise of him, Mark I if you will, with Empire and ROTJ being Mark II version

 

[snoop101]

The hair not looking as good as the prototype ruined it for me. How did they manage to screw that up!?

Gotta have that "Mark I" look, for sure. That car accident (plus the haircuts) really did change his look in the films.

Now THAT looks fantastic, especially his wounds. The weathering makes a HUGE difference. The original release actually does have those tears in the clothing, too.

 

[LiamNeesons112]

I wanted this to be my first Luke figure, since the ESB gray suit is my favorite version of him, but I’m going to have to pass. The tailoring isn’t accurate and is very doll-like, the hair looks…odd, and I’m not really a fan of the Mando sculpt. I have the patience to wait for a release that has a USB saber as well.

Yeah if the figure came like that it would have been an instant buy for me, even with the so-so likeness.
