Hot Toys Luke Skywalker :Endor Version

[FlyAndFight]

Left out of everyone's list is the RotS Luke and Leia with droid, to go along with the eventual Obi Won and Birthing Padme...

Ok maybe the amount of accessories, albeit the poncho hat and belt seem too much to add in for a single release, but it should have been at the very least a deluxe version. I mean boba fett got an entire sarlacc stand for Christ sake! I'm sure that cost more than a hat a poncho and a belt to manufacture. And they bumped up the price accordingly.

No sense arguing what hot toys is gonna do or not do. Just wanted to ***** about it and commiserate with you guys about it.

It really doesn't seem like too much to ask. Ep IV Luke special edition came with a poncho and hat from a deleted scene!!!

Does Endor Luke have an LED arm?

I am not aware if it has been confirmed, but I think it's extremely likely. I'm pretty sure it's essentially the same figure as the Jedi Luke but with slightly different outer wardrobe and head sculpt.

You would think so but apparently everyone is acting like "you didn't know Hot Toys was gonna screw everyone over?" And then make it seem like we are crazy for asking for what we want. Ridiculous.

I don't think it was ridiculous to think they could have released a deluxe version with the Endor stuff rather than a separate figure; this is what I was hoping for. On the other hand what they ended up doing isn't "ridiculous" either as apparently there are plenty of people who seem to prefer it this way. So I make it no secret expressing what I would have preferred, but I also don't think Hot Toys is "screwing me" (as some seem to feel) for doing it the way they are. It does leave me with an interesting choice though and I am not going to pay the price of a whole figure to just get "Endor gear" when I already have Jedi Luke Pre-Ordered. The tipping point for me for getting the Endor version too is if the helmet is "removable" giving me an alternative expression which can be used on any ROTJ Luke look too. Without this it's not worth it to me to get just for a poncho, belt, and helmeted head; but I would have easily paid a bit more for a deluxe version for those things.

This! I don't think I'm suffering from entitlement for expecting the hat and poncho to be included with the other release.

That's like asking for a speeder bike to be included.

Me either. This is Hot Toys double dipping the same figure!

Agreed,

In the past Figured like this would come with multiple costume parts and accessories. Now they are like 'We'll give you the bare minimum for the full price and you'll like it!'. Thats really why customs and kit bashing is becoming even more prevalent. This hobby is getting too expensive too quickly. All that being said, I'll probably pick up Jedi Luke, or at least hunt down some parts.

Looks like Chirrut's base is in reuse or just subbed in.

Honestly, their real mistake was just the timing of it. Probably should have waited a bit longer to establish the Jedi version. Even Leia feels early, the Hoth version was just put up for pre-order a few months ago. Maybe that one was ready earlier but with Carrie's death it would have looked bad if it seemed they were rushing it out.

I think that’s really it. I’m not the least bit surprised HT decided to make separate figures for each of these looks. But I would have expected them to space them out like a year apart. You know, give the regular Jedi Luke time to be released and sell out and then spring this baby on everyone.

Still mad there was no Han announcement. Neither ESB or Jedi!

If anyone was surprised, I would expect they haven't been collecting very long.

Like you said though, I was surprised they revealed them so close together. However, reveal and up for PO are two different things.

Don't need the figure but I'm definitely digging it

These really are not the most flattering pictures of this figure.

I just want the base! Be perfect for Indy!
