Hot Toys DX24 & DX25 Bespin Luke Skywalker (Regular and Exclusive versions)

[RPM716]

I was gonna pass on this one, until I impulsively jumped on the uniform and boots from TA and I’m glad I did. With some help from the DX23 and Snowspeeder Lukes I was able to more or less get to this figure. I previously thought the DX07 was great, but this is quite the improvement.

Ha, I have 31 Lukes. Those are Iron Man MK suit levels, lol.

HT:
3 DX07
2 ANH
3 Death Star TK
2 Jedi
2 Jedi Deluxe
2 Endor
3 Snowpilot
2 Mando DLX
4 Bespin DX25

SS:
1 Hoth DX
2 X Wing
2 Snowpilot

I would have at least 25, all are OT.

The 4X Bespin DX25 is damn impressive.

 

[jedijim3002]

I only have 13 Lukes.
1 HT ANH Tatooine
1 HT ANH Stormtrooper
1 SS ANH X-Wing Pilot with HT body and head
1 SS ANH Yavin Ceremony with HT body and head

1 SS ESB Hoth with HT body, head, boots, belt
1 HT ESB Snowspeeder
1 HT ESB DX07 clean version
1 HT ESB DX07 custom Dagoba
1 HT ESB DX24

3 HT ROTJ Jedi (cloak/ Sail Barge/ Final Duel)
1 HT ROTJ Jedi Deluxe Endor

I really need to step up my game!

Why does everyone like the way too tight fit of the new version.?

It honestly looks better IMO even if it isn’t screen accurate. Maybe it’s because in todays age it’s a more modern fit but also I think at this scale it just looks better. That’s just me.

I wasn’t ever sure I’d get a Luke, but this is the version I’ve always liked best and HT finally delivered a fantastic likeness!

Feeling rather stupid here... I haven't posted on the Freak Board for quite a while. I'm looking to use the light-up feature in the base for this figure but I don't know which cord to get and where. I read the Hot Toys manual for the figure and got confused by all of the warnings. I went to Target and bummed around and found nothing. Felt stupid. Everyone here seems to know where to get these cords, but I think this is the first figure I've purchased that uses it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

iirc its a USB-C port on the base. These are very common nowadays.

You'll want a USB-C cable.

This is Target's selection, you can just select something that's available for pick-up at your local store, and they'll get it for you, you don't even have to look for it.

All these awesome pictures are pushing me to get one, was hoping Mando Luke would be enough for me.

I need to stop visiting this thread.

Wish it came out of the box looking like that.

Thank you.

It's a bummer about the lack of volume in the pants where they meet the boots, even with the inner suit removed. Really trying to mull whether I want to dive into doing the fatsuit removal and weathering Still plan to use this as a Muppet Show Luke so will probably just swap the boots and call it a day.

 

[jedijim3002]

This should have been marketed and released as a Vintage Kenner color figure to go along with their Boba Fett.

I'm loving taking photos of this figure! Looks amazing besides the very pristine suit.
Any tips on doing my own weathering?

Definitely scroll back a bit, but we recommend a Tamiya weathering kit- comes with a swab applicator to add dirt/soot to the suit a bit. I will probably do this when I get some time. Such a great figure- awesome shot!

Yup, buy a second one in case you **** it up.
