![]() This is what the figure more or less looks like on a shelf in natural light. You can see that the sculpt may not be spot on (I believe the mouth looks wrong), but the sculpt has great detail, a good skin tone and looks a LOT Mark Hamill, even if it may not be 100% perfect. And while it is, of course, a promo photo it was taken with much more appropriate lighting for a photoreal figure. This is a Hasbro promo photo of the same figure. Sadly, the photo does not do the figure justice, since close-ups with bright flashlight will make almost all photoreal figures look a bit off. Medal Ceremony Luke is another good version. This was certainly Hasbro’s best Luke yet, at the time of release. This photoreal variant of Death Star Escape Luke is extremely scene specific, however the sculpt is great and the photoreal paint apps add the necessary touch of realism. Also, Hasbro gave Luke yet another hair color. The sculpt may again be “ok”, but the paint apps (lack thereof) are just terrible. The sculpt, while not perfect, is pretty good, paint apps are excellent and as an action figure with a sculpted plastic robe it is vastly superior to the TBS body with soft goods that never really work that well.

Sadly, Hasbro’s standard Farmboy Luke release is just… bad. Close-up photos of photoreal figures with a bright flash do the figures no favors, unfortunately, and therefore they tend to always look a bit off if shot under these conditions. ![]() The sculpt may be decent but the paint apps are just not up to modern standards.Īnd the photoreal Archive version of X-Wing Luke. Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in Episode IV.Īt the time this was considered a good action figure. So it’s not a chronological list of releases. I will begin with A New Hope figures, followed by Empire Strikes Back Figures etc. I also included a few reference photos of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker for each movie he appeared in. a rerelease with little to no visible difference will not be listed here, but whenever there is a major difference in either paint application or sculpt the figure will be listed. I have included most versions here, but not all, i.e. Let’s dive right in and take a look at the various 1/12 scale Luke Skywalker action figures.
