His forearms are ball jointed. Also I think the face is like that because hasbro used New Hope promo shots. Some New Hope Luke promo shots are after Mark Hamill’s car accident.
The shoulders on this guy are noticeably too narrow/not broad enough imo & it's pretty obvious in a side-by-side comparison w/SHF FB Luke so don't align with the body being great from the neck down. Do align with the face likeness comments as another disappointing MH likeness via Hasbro's photo real tech. Could have taken the No. 1 FB Luke slot from SHF if those couple issues were resolved so a missed opportunity by Hasbro. Face likeness issue is frustrating when you see Hasbro's most recent ML Wolverine release as the unmasked Hugh Jackman face likeness is amazing imo & prolly the best I've seen from photo real to date. Thx for the post.
The face is bad, the hair is terrible. I canceled my preorder when the first in-hand reviews hit. Between this and the Emperor Palpatine hood disaster, I’m losing respect for the Black Series team.
5:50 Wow, this napkin Luke comparison is nuts. Totally agree, face is a little off but dang, such a huge improvement!
Cloth napkins mean it's fancy. 😝
@@sydequesterhaha, indeed! 😆
Excellent review of the farm boy luke skywalker great figure keep collecting lukeness monster 👍🏻👍🏻
Lukenessmonster: “Solution to the ugly face, put a bag, er… helmet over it.” 😂
The face! Heading to pull out the ceremonial Luke.
I find it strange in this world when figures that look nothing like the character they represent and it is called a surprisingly good figure.
The ceremony Luke looks even less like Mark Hamill, looks like Ken doll
But i was going to tosche station to pick up some power converters.

Got the figure and love the changes

Not completely awful 👍
Seems like a good fig, but I feel no urge to to 25 bucks for a new version of a character I’ve already had on my shelf for years at this point
They don’t struggle with Harrison Ford likenesses. So I imagine they’ll do a good job for Han.
Swap the head with Yavin Ceremony Luke. Trust me it really works. Iggy Pop Head can go in the bin.
Seems like Hasbro made this Luke's hair with future releases where he will wear the boony-hat and helmet w/blast visor, in mind. Ugh.

Good review, but this figure is still not as good as sh.figuarts new hope version~~

They face may be bad, but the body is really good. I would recommend getting one and just swap the head with another Luke.
