Hot Toys MMS429 - Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker

[MaulFan]

Anyone have the time to do a side-by-side of SS Jedi Luke 2005 vs HT Jedi Luke now...?.

he could bend down and scrap his knuckles on the ground like an ape

That's excellent work, Sean!

Time's are a changin'


I actually made one too...

Funny that when I look at my SW collection there are several Sideshow figures displayed but still not a single human that doesn't have a helmet, hood, or hat covering the hair and shadowing the paint apps.

 

[MaulFan]

While there is a gap in quality, for 1/4 the price, Sideshow's was a good figure.

In its day it was brilliant... and helped lead me to this life.

I preordered this figure from Secret Base. Its nice to have a fully licensed Mark Hamill headsculpt, as well as the additional accessories.
I'm not a big fan of the cloak though. It looks like the cloak will be a hassle to futz if you want to pose the figure with the cloak on Luke's head. I'll probably have him on display in his Emperors Throne outfit.
It's a shame this figure won't be released for another year or so. The Yunsil figure will hold me over. It's about time Hot Toys released their version of Jedi Luke.

Alter Ego comics had a $10 off pop up, so that makes shipping $5. Ordered....

The soft goods and lightsaber still hold up fine even now.

I guess they couldn't swing the poncho for the Endor costume...It makes me wonder if we'll get a Hot Toys Speederbike. I can't see them releasing another Luke just with a poncho and new headsculpt. Or perhaps they will because Endor Luke, Leia, and Speederbike will make money.

Still Jedi Luke is awesome and this is what I was waiting for.

I think overall the yunsil outfit is much better, but HT is still a great outfit. Only the very particular and discerning customize will need the yunsil, and Im still very happy to have it and buy the HT for everything else.

The eyebrows on SS jedi Luke look better than the Snowspeeder version. What the?

 

[barryo]

I'm hoping since it's so far out that HT decides to include the endor poncho and helmet before release. Likely they won't but where would they work that outfit in besides a speeder I won't buy.

Your thoughts betray you..............




SISTER.....SO YOU HAVE A TWIN SISTER................YOUR FEELINGS HAVE NOW BETRAY HER TOO.

This looks pretty great. I've been waiting for a ROTJ Luke.

Thank goodness there's no exclusive.

 

[SkullDuggery]

Pre ordered using rewards points.
I think it looks perfect. Hopefully it looks like this when in production. I think the mouth open is the perfect look for Luke from this film. Now the waiting game.

Then you haven't been paying attention.

 

[Darth KirBayBey]

Looks awesome!! Just preordered mine!! Now, bring on Palpatine!!

 

[TaliBane]

The headsculpt has a touch of Robby Benson and Harry Hamlin from some angles, but overall looks to be close to a home run and fortunately looks to be one of HT's better SW human sculpts. The outfit and accessories look truly superb and looks like a great release overall.

Intrigued by how good the "moving saber effect blade" will look lit up. It's unfortunate they always feel the need to photoshop sabers in 1/6 pics - just show the product as it'll look on the shelf.

As usual, Sideshow Luke Jedi expressed his surprise at new developments.

It was great how Sideshow captured the exact moment that Luke discovered he had smooched his sister.

The soft goods and lightsaber still hold up fine even now.

Yeah, toss the head and body and the old SSC Luke Jedi release is still pretty solid even by today's standards.
