Hot Toys is delving into the Star Wars Legends vault for its newest sixth scale action figure release – Luke Skywalker, as depicted in the 1996 multimedia project Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire; check out the promotional images and details for the upcoming collectible figure here…
In 1996, Star Wars fans were taken on a thrilling journey into the Expanded Universe with Shadows of the Empire, an epic multimedia event bridging the gap between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. In the comic series, fans were introduced to a distinct transitional look for Luke as he continued his Jedi training, searched for a carbonite-frozen Han Solo, and faced off against the sinister Black Sun crime syndicate. Now, we are beyond excited to bring a piece of comic book history to your display shelf with the 1/6th scale Luke Skywalker™ (Shadows Of The Empire) Collectible Figure! This exclusive figure is available in a limited quantity of 2,500 units in selected markets.
This figure features a finely crafted head sculpt with separate rolling eyeballs, allowing collectors to adjust his gaze for dynamic posing. The sculpt is completed with a meticulously sculpted brown mid-length mop top hairstyle and incredibly detailed skin texture. To further enhance display options, the figure includes an array of interchangeable hands — featuring various Force-using, lightsaber-wielding, and blaster-holding gestures.
Luke’s remarkable Shadows of the Empire attire has been expertly tailored. The costume features his signature cream-yellow padded vest over a black double-breasted band-collar shirt, black pants, and leather-like microfiber material boots. His look is tied together by a black leather-like microfiber utility belt with a lightsaber hilt holder and cream-yellow pouches. Additionally, a brown-colored leather-like microfiber belt with a lightsaber hilt holder, pistol holster, and brown-colored pouches is also included, offering collectors the option to interchange and swap styles.
The figure comes loaded with accessories, including a DL-18 blaster pistol, two lightsaber hilts (normal and LED-lighted), and two interchangeable green lightsaber blades (standard and in-motion). The figure is completed with a specially designed figure stand with the Star Wars logo and character nameplate.
