Luke Skywalker - Snowspeeder Pilot
Accessories
Luke Skywalker is packaged with a lightsaber hilt, helmet, launching grappling hook, and build-a-droid pieces.
Look and Feel
Top to bottom this figure is fantastic! This sculpt of Luke's head is dead on and Hasbro has had a fantastic sculpt of a snowspeeder pilot for some time now. I love that this figure has the ability to dangle his light saber hilt off his waist. The grappling gun is very cool and will look great attached to the BAT-AT with Luke hanging below. Again Hasbro has done a wonderful job with the helmet.
Articulation
Luke Skywalker has ball-hinged joints in the neck, shoulders, elbows, knees, and ankles. There are also swivel joints in the forearms and hips.
Overall Reaction
When I first heard that we were getting yet another Luke pilot figure I groaned. Over the past couple of years I have gone for a few pilots to an entire shelf of them. When I saw this figure swinging on the pegs I still wasn't dazzled, but picked him up as I needed the piece to make my build-a-droid. It was only when I got him home and cracked the packaged open that I really enjoyed this figure. I still can't believe how well Hasbro did with the face sculpt and I really like the grappling hook pack in. The only thing that confused me was that we didn't get a lightsaber with the blade. I am not really that upset as I have tons of them, but it seemed like this figure was missing something. In my opinion this is a great figure to pick up, but I can see why you might not NEED this figure as we have so many Luke pilot figures already. Just be careful when you do buy him as there is a X-wing pilot Luke in the Saga Legends on the pegs with him.
