A Movie Masterpiece Deluxe (MMS DX) collectible, Luke Skywalker (Bespin Outfit) might very well be the definitive Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker action figure; loaded with accessories and most importantly, capturing the actor's likeness like no other figure released.

Look for it second quarter 2012. Check out the new photos below!

This looks like a great figure for the fans of Star Wars, I'm more interested in a Darth Vader if they ever release one. What I see little need in is the inclusion of an entire second figure. just a simple ploy to gain twice as much money from them. What ever happened to including a second head sculpt and outfit? if the small rips and burn marks warrant an entire new costume and making the second head sculpt a DX only pushes the price up further, which also only has subtle differences. Not impressed Hot Toys! seeing as they'll no doubt try to create every version of him.

Going off what peajam said I can understand why they included an entire second body with outfit. The market this is targeted for are wealthy (usually) collectors who buy separate bodies just so they can display all the variations of a figure at the same time. It seems Hot Toys is just doing them a favor by including two in the same package, similar to the Bruce Lee exclusive.

Plus with recent releases hitting $230, $250, this package gives you two figures for $150 a piece. I'd say that's quite a deal.

Anyway the figure looks fantastic and no doubt will cause a frenzy in the Star Wars camp. I'm not the biggest SW fan so it's an easy pass but congrats to those who want him.

Lastly, two things that should be included imo:

1. Light-up Lightsaber. I mean c'mon, you've got to do this! This is Star Wars we're talking about! :D

2. An interchangeable bloody stump. It looks lame when you just remove the hand and have a gaping socket. There should be an actual hand stump that you put in its place.
