Luke Skywalker (Bespin Fatigues)

"Luke Skywalker arrived at Cloud City and, with blaster drawn, moved in to rescue his friends. He was shot at by Boba Fett and ambushed by a group of stormtroopers and Imperial officers. While attempting to pursue them, Skywalker's path was diverted to the carbon-freeze chamber where Darth Vader awaited him." (wookieepedia)

The figure:
It is an all new figure. The detailing and also the articulation is just phenomenal. The weathering on his suit is very good and the face sculpt is absolutely screen (Mark Hamill) accurate.

The accessories:
Luke comes with a blaster pistol, a lightsaber and also with a lightsaber hilt which is attachable to his belt. He has also a working holster on his belt.

The articulation:
*ball-jointed neck
*ball-hinged shoulders
*ball-hinged elbows
*swivel wrists
*ball-jointed waist
*ball-hinged hips!!!!
*ball-hinged knees
*ball-hinged ankles

It doesn't get any better than this. The articulation is flawless and I hope we will see a lot of other figures with ball- hinged hips in the future.

The rating:
It's a absolutely fantastic figure with great articulation and detailing. I can't find a drawback on this figure so if you see Luke in your toystore pick him up.

10/10

Sweet review. This sounds like another nice job for Hasbro. Perhaps they are really trying to give us some nice figures inside thier pretty packaging. This is now on our fp and in our review archives. Thanks Christoph.

thanks CS78 but the background is not from me. Jules (Hangarbay94) made it. You can download the background on his homepage.

YES! I got this one yesterday ay Target and am blown away by the quality of this figure. If hasbro can do this great of a job on one figure how can they miss so bad on another? For me this may be the figure of the year.
