...With Lightsaber and Blaster Pistol!While he have dispensed with the ridiculously big guns with this Luke figure, we are still sportin' some other guns, if you know what I mean (muscles, if you don't).
It is interesting that Kenner chose to make a Luke in Dagobah fatigues in the undershirt and pants, rather than the "Bespin" Luke of the vintage line. I suppose to differentiate it a little more. No Yoda backpack included though. His bio card covers the events of ESB, including losing his hand and learning about his father. Later we do get a Bespin Luke with...take a deep breath...REMOVABLE HAND! But not this one.
Five reasons to get this figure:
1. Comes with Yoda backpack, wait, no, damnit!
2. Luke's sportin' those Dagobah biceps from Yoda's gym.
3. If you're a brown-lover, this figure has your name written on it.
4. Gives hope that the Dagobah POTF2 playset will come. [Didn't]
5. Tandem! Blaster! Saber! Saber! Blaster! Against...swamp life!
Backstory:
Well, the ESB part is on the back of the card (zoom for a closer look), but Luke's full bio (quite exhaustive) is on Wookieepedia right here.
I know that now we all laugh at the bulked-up look these figures had, but back in the day, they were great!
ReplyDeleteI have all the figures from this series lining the walls of my studio, and they still make me smile.
