Hot Toys Bespin Luke Skywalker is Kind of Terrifying
I’m not sure why I would want a Luke Skywalker with a scarred up face and missing hand, but if I did, Hot Toys would have me covered. Recently they unveiled the latest addition to their DX series of collectible figures, the 1/6th scale Luke Skywalk in Bespin outfit two-pack. Like all Hot Toys products, it’s sure to cost you a hand, or a leg (see what I did there,) but at least you’ll be able to faithfully recreate the greatest moment of Empire Strikes Back, and no, I don’t mean the scene where Han gets dropped into a vat of Carbonite after completely blowing Leia off.
The figures comes with pretty much everything you could ask for in terms of accessories — Two bodies, one battle damaged, the other not, interchangeable hands, a pair of blasters, a removable jacket and undershirt, lightsaber, and more. A special limited edition figure is also being produced, which includes that weird Vader helmet with Luke’s face on it from the cave scene on Dagobah. Again, not sure why anyone would ever want to recreate that, but there you have it. The standard edition can be pre-ordered through sites like BigBadToyStore.com and retails for $299, while the limited edition is a Sideshow Toys exclusive and retails for same price. Fortunately, Sideshow offers a nifty flex-pay option — just don’t go spending money you don’t have. You’ll probably regret it.
