Hot Toys MMS429 - Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker

which glove did you use for this custom?

It's just a gloved right hand i had in my spares box. Sorry.
I just checked Ebay, though, and there are loads of loose black gloved hands there. You can even alter ones that aren't 100% suitable.

Thanks. I just made it myself from flourescent green acrylic rod. I turned it on my drill to sand the blade and make the tip. It’s easy to do.

Where does one buy such a thing?

Try Ebay. You'll have sellers closer to you no doubt, but here's one like i bought(Ebay auction number: [FONT=&quot]152136763197)[/FONT]. You can get great results from blue, yellow and green. Red doesn't radiate light as much, being at the dull end of the spectrum, but like Xipotec says, you can maybe use flourescent UV paint.
If you need a hand making the blade, just PM me, and i can walk you through it. All you really need is a power drill and some different grits of sandpaper.

Might wanna try UV paint, its much better for showing under a UVlight

My Luke is currently using a Sideshow Jedi Luke gloved hand, got it off eBay for like $5.

Hi, just thought I'd share my ROTJ duel set-up. I have been waiting for this Luke for a very long time, but I am curious about the SSC one. If the outfit is better and slimmer, i may swap it onto this figure and use whats left for an endor version. I'd probably also get a HT ROTJ Vader to upgrade my SSC version...

any word or idea on what Sideshow is doing with their version, they came out very ambitious with a number of releases including a version of jedi luke only to fall back with pushing release dates now for 1st qtr 2019??? i was potentially interested in picking one up just for the endor outfit but would love for hottoys to actually make the expansion pack which i assumke would be an endor pack for their luke, that would be muchmore preffered.

It’s hard to say what the hold up is for either figure. I would assume that they are having a release issue because Sideshow is a Hot Toys distributor and they are trying not to step on each other’s toes when it comes to releases because it would hinder sales of both figures.

Kind of like when movie companies try to work with each other on release dates so everyone can get a piece of the action.

Great shots! I just opened up mine, and I'm quite sad there is rust on the ring at the bottom of the lightsaber.
