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

[moldycrow]

Anyone have Luke displayed with an R2-D2? Just got my AOTC R2 in and I'm looking for some inspiration.

Issues with the outfit notwithstanding, the more I look at this, the more it seems to be the best sixth scale Luke ever released. The likeness in some photos is pretty amazing.

Wow... that's quite the statement. Could be very true.

What's better?

There is no known method of comparison because the difference is so vast.

i guess that why this set was divided some had the one from the dx07 and some never got the dx07.

There's some very nice paint work on the severed head/helmet

I would love to pick up one of these heads parted out, but not for the ridiculous prices they are selling for. $60 and up is a bit much.

It's not like it's a functional head, it's just an accessory that lays there.

how much different is this head sculpt to the original dx07 version ? i have the original version

I think he meant the DX07 vs DX25 Vader helmet Luke heads - the Luke face paint on the DX25 Vader helmet doesn't look all that different to the DX07 from what I've seen so far.

Here you go.

Luke is in the mail for me, I’m excited to have him with r2 as well.

I really wish R2 had a stand tho, I dug into a boxed figure and grabbed their stand to use

 

[Chakaman]

I just unboxed mine. Great figure.

I wasn't sure I needed this. I was pretty happy with my DX07. I was wrong. This is a nice upgrade. The new sculpt is fantastic.

Here is a comparison with the DX07 using the HT Snowspeeder Luke sculpt. The only thing I might do is swap the boots and possibly weather the outfit a bit.

 

[Chakaman]

He looks awesome next to my Boba Fett.

This figure looks cool with the Bespin Leia backdrop.

We need a Bespin Han...

Yup

The sculpt is the same but the paint apps are better.

As others have said this is a great figure. Definitely superior to the “clean” DX07.

My nits are obviously the too clean look of the suit but also that HT continues to not include relaxed hands with most of their figures. There should always be a set of relaxed hands, ALWAYS, with every figure.

The other thing I noticed in hand is that the sculpt‘s expression isn’t quite right to me. He appears to have more of a happy, to slightly amused expression rather than concerned or intent.

Overall a wonderful upgrade to the DX07. Now bring on a battle damaged version!

Do you have a side-by-side pic?

I think the sculpt works better for a ROTJ luke.

 

[matrix69]

And the Jedi sculpt works great on the Bespin version

Thanks, @matrix69! I think you’re right. I’m gonna try that out.
