This Hasbro STAR WARS action figure 2-pack is detailed to look like Darth Vader & Luke Skywalker from STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Recreate the moment where Darth Vader reveals a frightening truth to Luke in Episode V with the included stand, featuring a base and railings modeled after the iconic scene in Cloud City. In addition to their signature Lightsabers™, the figures come with a clash effect and a blaster accessory. Look for more STAR WARS collectibles to recreate scenes from the franchise on your shelf
 
Best reveal from SDCC. New Luke look great and it means we’ll definitely get a clean version in the mainline because Hasbro always reuses molds. I haven’t been excited for Black Series much lately but this is exciting to me.
 
Well, it had a good run, but I am 1000% replacing this. And in for the inevitable "clean" Bespin Like. This new one is maybe the first Luke where the face hasnt put me off. It's still not Hamill but it looks natural.

If I can get my hands on the Obi Wan / Anakin pack, I think they'd look great side by side with the two platforms and both forms of Anakin.

I don’t like how Darth Vader’s cape looks like. It looks too thick, especially around the edges (presumably where the wire is).
 
I’m hoping they also release a bespin Luke Skywalker that’s not battle Damage, since I’d love to use for a more drastic customization of Jacen solo & Anakin solo, including bespin Luke himself w a better headsculpt.
 
Have any of without the premium membership been able to order this? I have tried several times over the last couple of hours, both on my laptop and on the mobile app, and I keep getting an error message that the order can't be placed due to high volume or connection issues. Frustrating.

Hasbro, I actually want to give you my money this time. Why do you not want my money?
 
I can't afford this at all right now, so I truly hope Luke gets a single release. I'm hoping it'll be this beat-up version. I imagine there will be a clean one eventually, but that requires new tooling and we all know Hasbro doesn't like that.

I would’ve preferred Luke to be a little less moment-specific but it still looks cool. Maybe the “cleaner” version is in the works for a single release.

Yeah, it feels weird getting this version before a reworked version of the non-battle-damaged "Bespin" Luke.
 
I am glad that at least this time the hand is removable. But you'd think we're finally at a place where they could include a burned little stump like the 12 inch figures do. 40th ROTJ Vader got one, but maybe that's cause his is robotic. Windu should get one, too.

Now I'm envisioning the "deluxe" Luke with burnt stump hand and auto-tourniquet like the small one came with over 20 years ago.
 
Should've gotten new legs for Vader and the bacta tourniquet for Luke.

Still a must buy for me.

Will it be on Amazon?

That's for single release Luke to get you to double dip.

They didn't release the grapnel launcher with the single-carded Snowspeeder Luke, though; it came with the Snowspeeder itself. Makes me think we'll only see the tourniquet if they make a TBS version of "Bespin Duel" Luke with the Cloud City weathervane diorama piece from TSC:

I was thinking of selling my snowspeeder recently but then realized I'd lose the figure I'd built around a loose additional speeder Luke a friend gifted me. Accessories are lacking with the repacks in BS scale for sure. Smaller sets don't seem to be on the radar.

Really didn't want beat up Luke.
Any word of a "clean" single release Bespin fatigue Luke?

🤣🤣🤣 I remember a time not so long ago, where everyone was screaming for a battledamaged upgrade, to be able to do a proper Bespin duel display.

Now these calls gets finally fullfilled and everyone wants a untouched Luke 🤪😵‍💫😵‍💫🤔
SW collectors are so hard to serve right😵‍💫😵‍💫

As for me, I am fine of what we get in that scene specific set. Its just perfect.
I would even say he already arrived at Bespin dirty and with slightly ripped parts of the suit, due his stay at Dagobah. At least his knees are already ripped after the "balance Yoda on feet"-handstand

The only time we see a perfect outfit, is with some promoshots and the Muppets episode 🤣🤣

He wore that outfit from Hoth to Bespin. You see it under his flightsuit as he's talking to 21-B on Hoth.

He then wears it daily in the filthy humid Dagobah swamps.

Imagine how bad it smelled by the time he's walking around Cloud City. He gave away his position to Boba Fett from the smell alone.

Vader: "I can smell something...." :poop:
 
That's where this crossover within the Star Wars universe would be good....

I think this battle worn Luke is something I'd pick up, still want an undamaged Bespin Luke too though....
