I hope the absence of the ESB vader in these pics means they are fixing the helmet.

Those are blogger pics -- likely they are using whatever Vader they actually have.
Did Luke have those awkward cuffs on his black shirt? I don't even remember.
Yup. But they were more thinner and tighter
Hair looks pretty much same to me, figure came out amazing.
I just realized they only have the one gloved hand, which is the fist. If you want his gloved hand holding the saber, you have to use the light up arm. That's kind of lame. Looks like it's easy to switch out, judging by the video.
Overall it's not as impressive as the Anakin figure that just came out, but it's a solid representation of Luke. Probably the best I've seen from Hot Toys so far.

Love this shot, looks most like an actual human being. I don't currently have him on order, but this looks like I might have to cave.
It doesn’t bother me that much because the LED gloved hand is still fully posable looks like and then I can always flick off the switch because the sleeve will cover it up.
Only thing that will be compromised is trying to recreate Luke conjuring the hilt to his gloved hand using the force . But that’s a minor nitpick

Yep, was same for me. From some angles he doesn't seem quite right. But in general it's a solid figure.
Video also helped a lot. He certainly has a lot of pose options !! I guess if these guys have him it's only a couple of months until I have mine in my grubby little hands.
I’m glad there is still an option of the cloth belt wrapping over the belt like in the film for the skiff battle and Jabba’s palace. I think the only time he was wearing the belt on top of the tunic was the Endor party and when he spoke with Leia

Hopefully the shirt can be removed easily and refitted a bit tighter
In the video review that DarkChocobi posted, it kinda looks like HT made the shirt and pants into a one-piece. My guess is that there's yet another unnecessary layer of padding over this Luke body (as with HT Farmboy and Bespin versions). So, the one-piece suit is bigger/bulkier than it needs to be in order to fit over the torso padding, and can't be simply tucked tighter if it is indeed a one-piece outfit.
I just don't understand the repeated use of padding for Luke. It makes sense for FA/TLJ Luke, but did '83 Hamill (as seen below) look like his figure would ever need to be made bulkier? Strange choice, IMO.

So you can eventually put the Endor helmet on him for a different Endor expression? (Or put this hair on the Endor sculpt).
That sucks one piece suit? 
Oh well . We’ll see in hand
I can’t wait to see some clever photo shop people recreating these moments when they start posting their pics here
You know I’ll try my best
Wish I got Boba, so I can do this display
Oh well, looking to see what people try

Figure looks great, albeit a little T H I C C. But I don't mind, looks proportionate from the side at least. I'm pretty sure someone will come out with a mod or something.
Oh cool, I was hoping the hair would be removable. So that way we can maybe use the Bespin Luke hair and have a more accurate sculpt for that figure as well.
