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

That’s a nice base. Where did you get it?

It’s an old sideshow GI Joe command center diorama.

Gotcha. Thank you.

Anyone else have any trouble with the light up not working on the base? I just unboxed mine, hooked the parts together, plugged it in and no lights :/

 

[jedijim3002]

I haven’t tried mine yet. Are you using a new usb cord?

It’s an old sideshow GI Joe command center diorama.

It’s amazing how expensive those old sideshow dioramas go for these days. I had considered getting some when I bought up a lot of the sideshow Joes but that idea quickly faded after seeing the going rates

Got mine in from Sideshow and set up today! I wish I could have a bunch of these bases - everything that I've put on it looks so much better (stormtroopers, Boba Fett...)

He's actually pretty dirty even in the hallway (there's also several visible tears on the pants and shirt) but the lighting and angles hide it a bit onscreen.

For me the HT super-subtle weathering works as a "generic" Luke Bespin centerpiece display, or as the Muppet Show appearance.

Yes. I meant this clean Bespin Luke.

I modified my DX07 years ago to make him shorter as he was too tall for Hamill. Topped in at what would be considered 5’10” instead of 5’8”. Just swapped the lower ball joint legs for regular slim legs with regular ankle pegs.

This Luke seems to be too tall as well but I can’t bring myself to modify it yet. Who knows what the future holds. Not sure what legs they are using but I’d be curious to find out.

This is what I took off mine.

Yes I did. Tried multiple chargers, cables, etc. I emailed SS and they sent me a replacement no questions asked.

I did at first but tried a different cord and wall brick and it worked. I think it’s just picky.

I don't really think it's fair to just call this his "Muppet Show" look, as the outfit did look like during his arrival on Dagobah and first meeting with Yoda, which are some pretty iconic moments in the movie.

Didn't last very long...

Even if they just did basic weathering like this would be better...

Ideally, I would like this version of the figure as the "clean version":

But mostly, I'm holding out in hopes of a fully battle-damaged version with ragged uniform and chopped off hand.

 

[jedijim3002]

He should’ve stopped at the Bespin Dry Cleaners to get his outfit cleaned and pressed for his meeting with Vader. Not a good first day impression showing up all sloppy with green goop on your shoulders. Some job interviews are tougher than others.

Yeah that would have been my preference too, I'm just saying this is still a fair representation of his outfit looked in the actual movie. And shouldn't be dismissed as just a publicity photo or muppet show thing.

The evolution of Luke. Always wanted that as a display.

But then I just had to have his Pilot outfit... AND I've always loved the style of the Hoth clothing in Star Wars. So there's a real problem with the shut off valve on Lukes...

 

[davejames]

Yeah I'm definitely going to need to get me one of these.

Just wonder how much I could get for my DX07 clean version? Or will anyone even want that anymore?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I still have hope that SDCC will bring a new "limited edition" battle-damaged Bespin Luke from Hot Toys.

'Limited edition' meaning available everywhere eventually.

Hopefully it won’t be a Cap Steath suit situation where the site crashes and you can’t preorder it.

Last one that sold on eBay was about $150. Better off just keeping it for parts.
