1/6 Hot Toys -MMS 517- Episode VI ROTJ Luke Skywalker Collectible Figure (DELUXE VERSION)

[dukefett]

Can someone explain the two lightsabers he comes with?

 

[bmarz1000]

One is the hero light saber and one is the stunt version.

 

[Jamielov]

The Hero version, the one with the copper neck and blinking arrows, is actually only on screen once during ROTJ, and it was in a scene filmed with a Vader stand in. The "I see you have constructed a new lightsaber" scene. But for all promo material and pictures, it's the saber that's shown.

The Stunt (V2) is the saber used almost the entire film by Luke. If you look at the saber when it's resting on the Emperor's throne, you can easily see it's different from the hero. If you do a Luke V2 saber image search there are a lot of good images of it

I wonder when this will get to the States? I hate having to upgrade my Jedi Luke, but after seeing Justin's review on it, it's a must now.

As of now Dec 5 is the listed date for my last payment. Hopefully doesn't get pushed back again

Man . . . I shouldn't have watched Justin's review. SERIOUSLY considering selling my V1 now and picking this up. Beating a dead horse but I would've rather waited a couple years for them to just make this one definitive version.

Thank you, good to know!

I was thinking about the same, mostly because of the new fatsuit-free body, but decided to keep my V1 at the end because:

1. I think the likeness of V1 headsculpt is better. That open mouth sculpt looks somehow off to me.
2. Jedi tunic
3. I would never display him with that dessert outfit
4. With V2 coming and V1 still available almost everywhere, it will only be a losing deal to sell V1 now.

If I should ever get a second Luke, it would be the Bespin Luke with hopefully better likeness and body proportion than V2.

My V2 is on it's way from HK. I'll post pics once in hand. I'll be keeping my V1 and will probably throw the robe on him, since that is now unique to the V1 release.. The fat suit didn't bother me too much TBH, but that may change once I see how the V2 looks without it.

My final flex payment has now been changed to December 25.

mine arrived in Sydney this morning.
Hopefully have it in hand some time tomorrow or Thursday AU time.

Anyone notice that the tunic is longer on V2? That alone with the slim body is compelling me to bend over and buy this figure again.

Probably because it?s the same tunic on a slimmer body.

Think I might jump on this. Starting off my Star Wars Hot Toy collection with this and Vader.

 

[Tortfeazor]

Screw it. I ordered one from Toys Wonderland (first time using them, used Justin's link). $290 shipped. Now I'm debating on what to do with my original. Between the body, the updated paint work, and the new hair sculpt, I can't pass this up. Jedi Luke was one of my most anticipated figures from Hot Toys even when I started collecting 8 years ago, so I'm gonna have the best one, dammit.

Now waiting on the inevitable ROTJ Vader.

 

[dukefett]

I might pick up a part or two but passing on the whole release. I definitely don't want that second headsculpt and the windswept hair looks like a weak effort.

My final flex payment has now been changed to December 25.

I am betting I'll be getting that same delay notice as well, but I actually would take comfort in knowing that if they only move it back three weeks to a definitive date (December 5 to Dec 25) it's probably finally going to come. As of now, all the delays I got were simply pushing it back one full month at a time.

Mine arrived in Australia today!!!
Alas the misses is here!
do I dare get my dolly out?

Congrats. I caved and hit order from SS. Blew all my rewards and had a 5% discount popup knocking $185US off the price in total. Don't feel so bad at the reduced price after getting the V1 which will now either display at Endor Luke or Jabba Palace Luke - either way he will be robed to hide the evidence of his crispy creme addiction.

Mine just shipped from Hong Kong! I’m gonna have to remember Toys Wonderland in the future.

His prices look really good - would be interested to know what customs charges you get hit with or if he 'helps' with that...
