Hot Toys MMS429 - Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker

[Jamielov]

I hope the one hand that’s bare can fit the saber, I’m not a fan of seeing the bare hand with the saber be the BD one. I hope the non BD bare hand can hold the saber well even if it’s a trigger hand for the guuard’s pistol

I'm still wondering if the BD hand can hold the blaster, lol. Eventually we will get our answers

This is equivalent to han's coat from ESB

was Luke’s tunic dark grey, light grey or black

 

[TaliBane]

OMG -- with that hand it really brings back memories of the Sideshow starter.

Arms aren't long enough. Hands should be at knees to match the original SSC Luke Jedi.

Wasn't the SS like $60!! Those were good times. Not feeling this Luke. Copy/Paste Luke against DX15 Sparrow and Luke shines like a doll!!

If there is something that I can take away from the first SSC Jedi Luke was the suit was great.. tailoring top notch . Problem was horrendous head sculpt , ridiculous body and an awful robe, and gigantic gloved hand

However the clothing worked great with my custom on a TT body

I've never had it in-hand (before my time in 1/6) but from what I've seen of those early SSC figs - I've seen ones like smuggler Han, Luke Bespin etc - the oversized stitching, thickness of any lapped fabric and lack of crisp corners (where pockets will be slightly rounded, a bit wonky shaped and lacking finer detail) seems to sink the illusion.

There are certainly some older SSC clothing that really holds up well though - Rebel Commando is one. Though I was disappointed with the black vest on the Rebel Fleet Trooper - had a Hasbro-ish vibe in the simple pockets versus something like HT Han's really crisp pockets, thin lapped fabric and accurate black vest.

I saw that not long after the listing appeared and reported it. I wonder how long it usually takes eBay to check on those things.

eBay usually does nothing about it.

Why the f@@k did they add padding to his clothing on this figure?! Hot toys you should know better!

Really brings back memories of the SS figure that started it all off.

That's funny, because I remember not getting in on the SS figures until just after Jedi Luke and for the longest time keeping an eye on the secondary market for one but never really able to pull the trigger. It just didn't look quite right. I was an old 12" Hasbro collector and the SS figures did bring me back into collecting this scale of SW figures, because the SS figures were "amazing" by comparison to my old Hasbro ones. I had SS Bespin and Farmboy Luke, ANH Han, Leia and Obiwan, and also Boba Fett. Fett is the only one I still have. My first Hot Toys figure was the Christopher Reeve Superman and the HT Bespin Luke wasn't long after that one thus raising the standard once again and I would eventually replace almost all my SS Star Wars figures with HT. But now here we are with Jedi Luke, and because I never had the SS version (and looking back I am glad I never did) it feels that much more like a missing grail in my collection. I think HT Luke looks great, and I can't wait to finally have my first 1/6 Jedi Luke, since the Hasbro one I had years and years ago, in my collection.

So nonsensical that they padded the whole body.

 

[Platty]

The legs look great due to the padding.

It’s a slight issue in the chest but not as bad as pictures make it out to be. Most collectors will be happy. Especially if they plan on using the robe and outer sash.

The robe isn’t purple at all. For me anyways. It’s brown. A slight different shade to anakins robe. I had him out for a night and don’t remember thinking ‘that robe is purple!’ I’ll get him back out tonight to confirm this but either way, it’s fantastic and the best robe/cape fabric type thing I’ve had from hot toys. It drapes beautifully.

Feel free to post any questions here regarding hands etc and I’ll do my best to answer them with pics

Looks amazing. So jelly.

He still looks barrel-chested to me, even with the tunic and cloak on. That's why I felt the need to remove the upper-half of the fat-suit on my Luke.

Very nice. How does this figure compare to Anakin, in your opinion?

 

[Timemeddler]

And I would definitely say that my cloak has a reddish-purple hue to it, especially in natural daylight.

Thanks man! Both equally great figures. My one complaint with Luke is the lack of spare gloved hands. My one complaint with anakin is the pleather outfit feels a tad cheap and of course the short robe.

But both are amazing figures with gorgeous looking outfits and great headsculpts and serious presence on the shelf.

 

[Codyhsl]

Is it easy or remove the fat suit? I haven't got him yet

 

[Timemeddler]

Yep, pretty simple. Check out my posts earlier in this thread...

 

[DeganUAB]

How does it compare to Sideshow’s Version 1? Is it worth upgrading?

How much do you wanna bet that Endor Luke comes with some expressive gloved hands.
