Damn this Luke is odd looking...
- Thread starter shadowwarrior
- Start date
This is the first figure to sport a swivel shoulder that doesn't look like a cannonball. Not liking the double elbow setup with the giant pegs. The interchangeable hands is a nice touch though.
Those promo shots never look right, though it is interesting they ditched the yoda and backpack from the prototype they'd been showing.
Fair enough, didn't notice that thread lol. They could've at least put the backpack in with one of the two.
That blue thing with Yoda is the backpack.
Back to Luke, I think he's a great resource for fodder. That is probably pretty close to what the production figure looks like, save for the fitment of that shoulder, which I don't believe is plugged in all the way.

Due to his fodder potential, he is one of the few figures I am looking forward to seeing. Which means he won't be on the shelf.
Let me explain SW fan = negative comments Those poor bastards lost their sanity years ago.
If you'd been buying the same characters over and over again for the last 20 years you'd have lost your marbles, too. :trollface:
QFT. Rebelscum is a swirling vortex of hate and negativity. They demand screen accuracy and yet want super articulation. But when they get SA figures they bitch how awful and non-screen accurate they are.
This figure is probably the most hated among the new figures. Once it hits, SW fans will be buying him up. Luckily all these new figures are 2 per case.
I like this Luke. Bring on new articulation. I want my Dagobah training Luke to do a one handed handstand (with the help of a display stand) on my vintage Kenner Dagobah playset.
Last time I was at Toy Fair (which was a few years back), I asked Daryl DePriest about the lack of articulation on the Star Wars line and he basically told me that with that line, they got for a more pleasing aesthetic look more than playability. With the GI Joe and Marvel lines, they went for the articulation.
When Luke was the last. No 90's Kenny Loggins running around with light sabers wondering where Burning Man is this year.
I was planning on pre-ordering this entire wave, but after seeing these and other pics of Luke and Yoda, I'll just pre-order a couple of those Snowtrooper Commanders.
I'm not interested in Torynn Farr, Dak or Bastila Shan.

I like the double elbows! bet he can hold a sniper rifle like a boss! those arms with the ghostrider neck ,and you've got one awesome figure IMO.
Thanks for posting!! I will be buying these as I see them.

I preordered 2 of these, hoping they look better in hand as the Acid Rain figures did, usually wen everyone hates a figure like this they go through the roof, won't be able to find them on any pegs I think..
