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

[Cap'n Cook]

Wait... For real?! Where?

Hasn’t been confirmed.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Confirmed.

Hasn’t been confirmed.

Confirmed.

Alright, take it outside...

I’m really liking this one. I combined some parts with my snowspeeder Luke to make a 1:6 “Dagobah Landing” Luke.

The snowspeeder sculpt is a bit meh now

Yeah it’s freaky, the center of the face is like pulled forward, sort of rat like. I think it’s acceptable as a variant but I’m glad there’s a better widely available sculpt for figures that are more of a centerpiece IMO like Mando and ROTJ.

Yep I thought he looked a bit Ratty too hopefully can pick up one of these sculpts for it

I've only seen them for like $200ish, at that price you might as well buy a whole figure and part out the rest lol.

These elements (position of tube pouch, location of hooks) do vary on Luke's belt in ESB.

The lightsaber rivets do, in the movie?

 

[McHaleyArt]

No. But I did notice they flipped the lightsaber hook and belt hook so the rivets no longer match properly.

And they had it right on the proto -- dumb factory screwed it up.

I believe they the prototype’s belt matched some publicity shots, but the way the belt hooks are now is screen accurate.

Well now that's not entirely true...

Current HT belt has the lightsaber hook and regular loop swapped (though rivets remain in place).

Were there actual scenes in the movie that had this swapped the way HT has done it?

I think the belt was probably all over the place.

 

[Wor-Gar]

So it flipped one way on Hoth/Dagobah... and the other way around on Bespin?

Very interesting.

I need to find a Bespin that's flipped incorrectly. If not, then HT got it correct -- for Bespin only.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Welp -- after checking a slew of Bespin ref, that bloody lightsaber hook does indeed seem to change its place in front of behind the regular belt loop multiple times on Bespin.

It's one way in the hall with Fett, then flips when confronting Vader. Felinx posted one pic of it flipped back during the duel but I couldn't find one.


HT has it the way it appears in the Bespin halls confronting Fett.

[Gipetto0812]

It’s all wrong but it’s also all correct

Yep -- when Luke comes up into the freezing chamber... but then it flips around for the actual confrontation. At least, I couldn't find any clear ref of it this way during the fight.

Love to see it if you have it.

 

[Wor-Gar]

... but has it "wrong" for the most iconic Luke Bespin moment of all.

No, wait -- that's the "correct" way!

He has it like that for the entire fight best I can find. The way HT does NOT have it.

It's BEFORE the fight, mostly in Bespin Halls, that the hooks are flipped (HT style).

They mentioned in the comments on one of their posts that the ‘clothes can’t be removed’. The more I look at this you can get the impression the jacket is sewed shut:

Nice futzing and pose.

Hot Toys really needs to announce a Bespin Escape Leia. She will sell extremely well.

That’s why I bought a second lando on the cheap. Praying they release her like that. Yes, I’m the only idiot with 2 lando figures.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yes, I’m the only idiot with 2 lando figures.

You can't be because all 4 have sold.
