Now that Endor and Crait Luke are confirmed, and even Baby Luke is released, what is your most wanted Luke Skywalker figure Hot Toys hasn't done yet?

I voted Yavin. For me it's the definitive Rebel Luke, just as the ROTJ version is the definitive Jedi Luke.
 
Without a doubt X-Wing Pilot is at the top of my list, followed closely by his Hoth gear.
 
I voted Hoth because I think Hot Toys could vastly improve upon the Sideshow figure. But I suspect most folks will want a pilot version more. I would like to see them tackle a pilot version too, if for no other reason than to see a Hot Toys paint-up of the helmet. The paint and weathering on both Sideshow helmets were mediocre at very best.

Yeah, the helmet apps/weathering were much better on the Snowspeeder Luke vs X-Wing Luke, but still off. Fortunately the helmet sculpt is good, it's really just the paint, but its' tough to fix.

Hoth Luke would get my vote too. I heavily modded my SSC Luke Hoth and still not 100% happy. I bought a non-BD HT Bespin head to use on it but don't love that head either (and the apps on it feel a little bit dated nowadays.)

I would love any HT Luke that really nails the likeness. That is a HUGE ask for HT - they have really struggled with OT Han and Luke. I don't need yet another HT Luke for $220+ that "kinda" looks like Luke. It's partly the reason I eye-roll when I see people saying "can't for HT to do Luke ___ or Han ___".

I also think that the reuse of the HT Luke Jedi sculpt - just with new hair - for the upcoming Luke Bespin means we will be waiting a long time for a newly sculpt Luke. That fig was HT's opportunity to step up with an all-new centerpiece Luke but they went with a ressued head. The Jedi Luke sculpt is quite a good Hamill likeness and the apps are superb but it still has its issues (mostly for me it's the slack jaw and teeth.)

I like the Jedi Luke sculpt ok, but definitely not for Bespin 2.0. I'm still hoping that was a convention placeholder. They haven't put it up for preorder so it's still possible. I don't mind them doing a Bespin redo if it's not a bare bones cash grab. Give us DX owners a reason to jump on board. Would really like to see a new dead-on Hamill sculpt and accessories for training Luke.
 
Hot toys production seems to have recently slowed to a crawl relative to the rate they were cranking a short while ago. Numerous figures due to ship from Sideshow in Q3 still have not released in Hong Kong and a couple recent preorders are scheduled in 2021:lol
 
I am strictly empire but a good Hoth or Dagobah/Bespin Luke would really peak my interest.

I actually would love to see a Dark Empire Luke since it would be something completely different. It wont happen though. Ceremonial Luke and Pilot Luke would be awesome.
