1/6 Hot Toys - DX23 - The Mandalorian: Luke Skywalker (DELUXE VERSION)

[Rbeato]

Curious how the standard version will be priced. It’s fairly bare bones so it shouldn’t be crazy, but the Mando hype may add to its cost.

That and it being a DX so upgraded packing that I think all Hot Toys are deserving of.

also noticed Grogu has different arms

 

[TheDucky]

Told ya.

 

[matticus]

I’m getting this one. But the lack of R2 breaks my heart tho

Yeah why no 2-pack?

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Yeah why no 2-pack?

Probably so they can sell him individually without all the extra accessories for a higher price. Still a decent chance I bet. If it doesn't happen the price of the existing HT R2 will shoot into the stratosphere.

 

[Mike86]

Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if R2 is offered separately. He’s in the promo pictures, which feels like a definite teaser to me.

Hot Toys isn’t stupid. They know people want to recreate that scene, so why not milk as many Mando releases as possible?

The floating torso is interesting, but a bit odd. Looks like the one he force crushed, but it ought to be wreckage on the floor as it was standing (on legs!) when he attacked it.

There is small differences, mainly on the middle leg. Hope that signals a new one and not higher than the Deluxe that I should have gotten.

 

[DarkChocobi]

HEY LOOK AT GROGU. IT MOVES NOW

There's also the weird leg spikes that come and go between scenes.

 

[shull24]

My deluxe R2 has the cylinders on the middle leg

 

[Hologram AI]

Held out on all the other Luke figures from Hot Toys. Will settle for this one. Hope they reissue that R2. Kind of weird that they didn't for this.

I'm willing to cut them some slack on this I suppose. Making a complete crushed trooper would probably add more to the cost than what most folks would be willing to spend.

The sequence would be wrong, but you could kinda try obscuring the crushed torso behind a clean Dark Trooper on the shelf

This looks better than I imagined! Instant pre-order for me.

Told ya.

A few days late but I'll give it to you, Ducky.

 

[TheDucky]

Is there a actual set tho?

I was told it was a Luke R2 Grogue deluxe set. I don’t know what changed or if R2 will be offered separately. Perhaps source seen the pics and it was a misunderstanding.

Few days late? I said this early July.

Probably just wishful thinking as that seems like it would have been the obvious thing to do.

Howard virtually confirmed it in May.

Everybody and their pet knew he was coming.

Howard's a fan of The Mandalorian, and Luke is his favourite Star Wars character. (Milk Magazine #996, May 2021)

"Mando is like the dawn after the dark. Especially Luke, he was redeemed, unlike episode 8."

 

[Victοr]

I'm not the world's biggest Luke fan, but I do want him for completionism's sake, and it's unlikely they'll release another ROTJ-esque one after this. I'll wait and ruminate on this a bit. Now were's that General Kenobi HT?

 

[DEADDACK_33]

Yay! A gloved grip hand, something the ROTJ Jedi Luke was sorely lacking I'll definitely be buying this!
