Hot Toys MMS429 - Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker

[Bustajesse]

Yeah not sure what they were thinking when they opted not to include more gloved hands. Even just a gripping hand and relaxed type of hand to go along with the fist would have made a world of difference. Probably would have cost next to nothing to include them.

Would have taken more hands over the display stand canister attachment, crappy "stand" scene sticker cards, effect saber piece, and light up arm.

Isnt this one of the hot toys that comes with the most hands ever?

I believe the deluxe edition of sideshow Return Of the Jedi R2D2 also comes with the jedi saber.

Yeah the R2 comes with his hilt. No saber blade.

The first deadpool came with 12 hands. Don't see why they couldn't throw in 2 more gloved ones

I really feel that every figure should come with at least 8 hands (Fists, open palms, relaxed, and gripping) and then whatever character/pose specific hands they can come up with, like the damaged hand here. This is a little annoying but there's other $200+ figures out there that come with like 4 hands total. Just give us the options.

 

[Codyhsl]

Thats true the only thing they didn't do was make more black gloved hands but at that rate there would be like 15 hands or some ****

 

[jedijim3002]

I wouldn’t mind 15 hands.

I think 26 hands (minimal) is necessary for a figure: gripping, tiny 'thing' gesturing, V for Vendetta/victory/vag gesturing, nose picking, heil Hitler'ing, pointing, fisting, okie dokie gesturing, hang lose/telephone gesturing, groping, bang-bang gesturing, 'the finger' gesturing and hands for acting out The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Naw what we need is real hand tech

A sturdy wire base with "bones" and covered in rubber or silicon and painted. This would be your pose hand. You could adjust the fingers in a "realistic" manner. And cover most hand poses.

Then only set hands you would need are complex gestures, and hands meant to hold heavy objects, like guts dragonslayer.

You could call it real hands tech, and bump up the price if your figures a good bit if you could pull it off.

Maybe the accesory pack or endor luke will have the gloved hands. Requiring you to buy moar stuff.

They tried that years and years ago. Bendy hands kinda suck.

You’d need to create a new material that was a little sturdier than the Phicen silicone and coat the metal in some kind of thin protective substance, so it doesn’t damage the silicone from within.

Pretty sure that’s just too much work. Usually, Hot Toys is pretty good about including all the necessary hands.

Speculation or actually happening? Where was this published?

Speculation is my guess.

 

[Jamielov]

Speculation is my guess.

Damn, lol!!!!

If Endor Luke happens - I could see them releasing a pack like that.

People with Jedi Luke are less likely to buy Endor Luke.

Jedi Luke is irrelevant to future releases because by that time he'll be long sold out.

An accessory pack allows them to sell to an old audience without infringing on the new figure too much, who will have his own bubble of profit anyway. Some sale is better than no sale in regards to the original adopters.

If we want to recreate the scene on the sand barge then we are also going to need an ungloved light up arm.

 

[Creighton]

It was speculation in its truest form. Just getting my hopes up as well

 

[Danny-Boy]

Hoping Jedi Luke is like Hoth Leia where the pics don’t do it justice.
