Thanks SS for fixing the collar. That little detail makes a world of difference. Great job!
In my opinion, that is the best Luke head sculpt of the entire Sideshow line, besides Episode 4 Ben Kenobi…Ben is absolutely incredible!!!
Thank you Sideshow for fixing the collar and pockets!!! I cannot wait for this figure to arrive!!! And the Ben Kenobi coming soon!!! What a great year!!!!
P.S. A little extra pleather for the belt would be nice…So it can hang looser…
Great looking figure. I’ll be getting a couple. I look forward to seeing a picture of the reworked collar soon. The exclusive on this one is great! EXCLUSIVES ROCK!!!!
You’ve got to be kidding… another exclusive vs. inclusive edition?!?! Why did you introduce the inclusive editions if you so rarely intend to use them even on main characters?
He looks great, but I just don’t understand the reluctance to use inclusive editions. Did they not work out well on the figures you used them on thus far? I wish Sideshow would communicate on this issue.
This is a great figure, but the pocket flaps on the jacket and pants are friggin huge! I hope they fix these. Also, Luke never had a stub, his whole hand was gone. Also, also, the hands are gargatuan. Please SS, change that at least!
Thank you for a good choice in the next release figure. Bespin Luke is one that I have really been waiting on.
I would like to say two things. Hoth characters (Han) would be an incredible choice or Luke.
And, I really don’t like the head sculpt on this one. The Ep. III Obi head was so dissapointing that I sold mine on Ebay, because it looked so aweful. I’ve thought that I may have to buy a Jedi Luke, pluck his head off, and put it on the Bespin Luke. Please adjust the head sculpt.
Blessings,
!!!GREATEST FIGURE EVER!!!!
Lookin’ good!
Now Sideshow, expand the line by bringing us a 1/6th scale Han in Carbonite, with blinking, operating lights down the side…maybe a clear plastic support for it to appear as if it were floating horizontally, or vertically…
Thank you SIdeshow for posting these pics. This the best Luke yet. You really do take feedback into consideration, it seems I have been requesting this figure since the line the began and now the moment has arrived!!! Everything rules about this figure!!! The magnet holster idea is GREAT!!! But, um, I have one request…please rexamine the collar on the prototype…Luke’s jacket has a “mandarin” collar. You are the BEST!!! I will be ordering one!
Looks great. Good head sculpt. Costume looks excellent…from the waist down. Not just the funky collar, but the chest pockets are a bit high and too big. Gives the Jacket a doll-like appearance.
You fixed ANH Leia’s skirt length, so we know you take feedback!
A great version of Luke to be sure…now bring on Hoth!
90% of this figure looks great good job on most of the jacket, the boots and the face sculpt!
But the other 10% is glaring.
The collar is obviously wrong. That left hand is still ridiculously huge and now he’s got a nail job!
This is very cool, the best Luke yet. And I’ve already ordered 2 of the buggers from my local shop.
I still can’t help but be a tiny bit dissapointed that the boots still don’t allow for ankle poseability like, say, Hot Toys Superman’s boots do.
It really makes all the difference on those dynamis poses.
That said, my fave star wars doll yet, can’t wait to see some Indy stuff, hint hint!
Luke is in a fighting stance. Would look good with a certain Darth somebody to clash swords.
Awesome entry. First original character I will have bought from Sideshow.
I don’t know somethings not right with the face, jedi Luke looks really good and the medal ceremony Luke looks dead on but something is missing on this one, but I’ll still get one because I’m hooked.
ok so everyone is complaining about the collar. Has sideshow acknowledged this? The collar on the jacket looks absolutely awful!!! Will this be fixed? Or has production already begun, making it to costly to change the design now?
Does sideshow even read these?
Looks great otherwise. FIX THE COLLAR.
Those images of Bespin Luke are amazing!!! I am a huge Mark Hamill/Luke Skywalker fan, you cannot imagine how excited I am right now.
Sideshow, thank you for making all of your Luke Skywalker figures look so good.
Amazing. I love the look on his face. It perfectly captures the look of someone venturing down a dark corrdor. I still would like a screaming head version though.
My bad. Just saw the picture of the stump-hand. Now just don’t forget to list it in the accessories/hands section. It also shouldn’t be part of the ‘exclusive’ edition either since Mace Windu had one and I bet this is the same sculpt. Plus Dooku will need two when you make him!
Good choice for the exclusive, but Sideshow, PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO GIVE HIM A HAND STUMP-HAND!!! Mace got one, Luke needs one even more so! Please include it.
looks good, i really like the exclusive, do we get to see the burnt stump underneath? Guess vader’s never going to get a father’s day card after that one.
Wow Sideshow! Looks great from the pics! When this arrives, it will be time to pack away the inferior Jedi Luke!
thank you for releasing pics, price and exclusive details before the pre-order, i appreciate it
Why don’t the proto pics show the fixed collars on the jacket?
Pictures will be up soon, sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience.
