ANYWAY. I pre-ordered this one because ROTJ Luke is the one human character I just have to have: Luke in his final form, Luke at the height of his powers, Luke the reluctant bad *** and the empathetic pacifist. As a kid ROTJ was my favourite Star Wars because I loved the Jabba stuff, and I loved the Vader confrontation and seeing the climax of the whole saga. Heck, I was a kid, so I loved the Ewoks. As an adult obviously I have re-evaluated some aspects of the original trilogy, but that Luke ... one of my childhood heroes. I had that black suit Luke Kenner figure muddy in the backyard and dirty in the sandpit many times. I loved its little brown cloak. I'm really looking forward to having a much bigger and better version. Pity he doesn't come with a bone for jamming in the Rancor's mouth!
Some figures will always be magic because they represent the things you loved as a kid, the figures you wish you could have had then, and that you would never dream you would be able to get in such quality. ROTJ Luke will be one of those, I expect, and will stand proudly alongside my sixth scale '89 Batman and Joker, the Ghostbusters, and Tom Baker Doctor Who in that regard. I suspect many of us in this thread will feel a similar way once this one arrives and we open the box.
