Great review. Hey I was watching only one kenobi idk if you know the channel but in one of his videos he was saying that one of his friends from the states said that this Luke un punched was rare now idk about that but he bought it because it's a rare find and honestly this Luke isn't cheap from what I've seen on ebay what are your thoughts
Kenobi comments on my videos on occasion, I like a lot of his work. He is probably referring to the very first release of this figure with the original ROTJ Luke card image, which was specific to Jabba's Palace instead of Endor Capture. That could be one of the more rarer TVC figures to get. This Luke might very well be the most released character in the TVC line in general. The prices seem to fluctuate for this Luke. When I got this, it could easily be found in the $20 range, even brand new.
I could never get over the face sculpt on this release..never cared for it, I think they did a much better job with the updated face sculpting on the Mandolorian light cruiser release and the book of boba fett luke face sculpt, I know hasbro has historically struggled with mark Hammels likeness in general
Interesting, I always thought this was one of the better Hamill portraits, but Hasbro definitely has yet to perfect his likeness on any Luke figure. I think at this point, they may never get it right. At least Leia is just about there now.
@jmcgin1453 great point! the new ANH VC and BS Leia looks almost spot on! On the subject, They still make me nervous with Anakins face sculpt to this day.. never quite there, I had to get the S.H. figuarts ROTS Anakin to get a close representation in 6in form but in 3.75 I really like the 30th anniversary tattooed Clone wars Anakin 🤘
@@ParanormalMetalMan Even after the new Anakin reveals, I am thinking the 2008 TAC Anakin (Vader) is still going to rate high on my favorite Anakins. Usually the Hasbro photos always look far worse than the official figures in hand, but we will see. The Clone Wars Anakin is still one of my favorites too. I do have the Figuarts Anakin and will probably do the video for it next year.)
@@jmcgin1453 2008 TAC vader Anakin good call!! I have him too and it's very underrated! I'm very glad you have the SH figuarts anakin that very well be one of my favorite figures in my whole collection, my collection is not as big as yours but its just because I'm way too picky with figgies 😂😂
Great video on this authentic action figure on Luke return of the Jedi. Keep it coming JMC!
Head swap him with one of the newer figures that’s what i did with the Jedi legacy luke with the ugly race 😂
Most of the more modern Luke heads should fit on this body. Might try some head swaps someday.
