Bespin Luke....So Good, You Need 2 | Hot Toys Luke Skywalker DX25 Review

[@maverick8331]

They really need a 2.0 of farmer Luke. He was the original and I just feel like it needs an updated sculpt and a second chance for those of us who don't have him. On topic, they really need a 2.0 or Luke, Leia, and Han from A New Hope.

[@kevinsailor]

I think the only one they haven’t done is x-wing Luke. But an all new farm boy Luke would be good. They could cash grab the Bespin and do a Dagobah training 2 pack with Yoda.

[@JedhaPatrol]

Both great choices!

[@superjlk_9538]

I think they are doing a snowspeeder Luke

[@jacobraimer619]

@@superjlk_9538 update yourself. Its already done.

[@jacobraimer619]

X-Wing Luke was announced two years ago and released last year. What Rock you living under ?

[@kevinsailor]

@@jacobraimer619 that was snow speeder Luke, X wing Luke has different gloves and boots and doesn’t have the thick winter jacket

[@BXDRAGONX1]

They should’ve done a re-issue with this new head sculpt. But included a yoda so you can recreate the his training scene. That could’ve been the ultimate Bespin Luke. Two Luke’s one clean & one filthy with yoda. Swap out forearm with missing hand. I really like both of your Vader vs Luke poses.

[@blknazn1]

The "You are beaten" pose is definitely the way Im going when mine arrives

[@JedhaPatrol]

:)

[@findvolume]

Hey Jed, where did you get the Vader cape? It's beautiful

[@matthewgreaux91352]

What is the amps on the plug that made both parts light up? I’m having the same problem you had with both not lighting up when connected together.

[@JedhaPatrol]

My issue was the plug not being fully extended to connect both bases. Make sure it clicks out

[@matthewgreaux91352]

@@JedhaPatrolthanks, that worked!

[@omgc89]

So cool. I'm not sure if I want this or Mando Luke more. For my childhood this one is iconic. But the Mando version is so cool!

[@Fletch85uk]

15:40 "You are beaten. It is useless to resist. Don't let yourself be destoryed as Obi-Wan did" And which version of Luke have they not made yet? Degobah training when hes all muddy and scuffy with the tank top and Yoda in backpack.

[@JedhaPatrol]

Well said

[@winlee4884]

A Yavin IV throne room Luke with the yellow jacket and medal 🏅 would be nice.

[@Chalor.]

Yeah, I never got the original Bespin Luke either. Didn't start really collecting "modern" 1/6 Star Wars till shortly after the original Sideshow Fett. At that time, 1/6 figures were meant to be *incredibly* special & nostalgic and/or super iconic characters. I set up my wall shelving to house _maybe_ up to 40 1/6 figs one day. Like _no way_ I'll go past that. Boy....how naive I was. Now it's like 130+ figures later, and I need to keep sell sell selling! Too much shit = fuck it all.

[@robertbeard8207]

It's the definitive Muppet Show appearance Luke for sure! Too clean. Possible battle damaged and Dagobah training version on the horizon. Who knows! Great review.

[@Sapientiaa]

That Vader with the wired cape is INSANE! Posing him with Luke is perfect.

[@bladerunner1b]

It looks more like the promo shots for Empire than the beat up and baggy screen costume but it is still a very nice looking figure with the best HS of all the Luke's released thus far. He doesn't looked dazed like all of the open mouthed sculpts. I feel he is a bit pricey though for what comes in the box and I really wish the belt wasn't pleather. Thanks for the review man.

[@ogfanwhenstarwarswasjustst7096]

Great video! Your unboxing was genuine & candid, the poses are 🔥🔥🔥as always and you make Bespin Luke shine! I can't wait to get mine in the collection. I would love a Hoth cold weather gear Luke to complete his trio of looks from The Empire Strikes Back. Thank you for all the hard work you must put in to produce such high quality content so consistently. 🐐

[@suprironpapi3258]

Where did you get that wired cape for Vader?

[@Linda-hf7vr]

Obviously Luke scotch guarded and pressed his uniform right before arriving at Dagoba. Gotta spiff up to meet his new Jedi master. That is a great head sculpture.

[@Piece-O-Pie]

I have the same issue with the light-up function. What kind of plug do you need??

[@natives602CC]

They didn't reissue the big TV antenna he grabs onto?

[@WolfMoon351]

Two questions. 1) can you use the cut wrist arm from the old one to the new one? 2) why need 2?

[@Frank-Discussion]

We need a Hot Toys Ceremonial Luke!

[@user-jl8lg7tf7t]

Great review! Dose this hand's lightsaber change the position? If the hand holding the lightsaber is in the initial position, it is not possible to have both hands holding the lightsaber. However, hand is connected lightsaber.

[@geewunder1171]

The fly immortalized at 13:27...

[@aaronbrett317]

My base doesn’t light up either! I just got it today and tried everything but just doesn’t work.

[@marlon_labrador]

Wait, are the boots molded?

[@TGOTV]

Does this head fit the snowspeeder Luke?

[@harshword8388]

I need some good close ups of this sculpt and mando to call it but I'm thinking this one is pretty perfect! I remember mando Luke with the old hair though looking A+ tho. Return of the Jedi 2.0 is all they got left.

[@ScottBuckets]

Fantastic poses. This is definitely up there as the one of the best Luke’s. I kinda like snowspeeder Luke best IMO. 👍

[@venomfoxgames]

Missed opportunity to have Luke face off against Boba Fett lol Awesome figure!

[@beskarkid]

You did a way better job showing the sculpt comparisons than I could get with photos, lol! Have to say, Mando Luke is still king. Also, I had an issue with connecting the two pieces of the freezing chamber base together and getting them to light up, but found out I wasn't pushing out the connector far enough.

[@JedhaPatrol]

Thanks bro. I could see how that would happen as well.

[@jimbeanthelegend1982]

Same mine wouldn't turn on together

[@jermainehaslam5634]

I loved the pose where Luke was on the floor and Vader had him trapped with his lightsaber, awesome review Jedha.

[@Italiano_Strawhat]

I'm glad you went back to opening the box. It was really jarring going right into the poses.

[@JedhaPatrol]

You’re in the minority

[@paulclancy4221]

I have Snowspeeder Luke. So Iconic. Headsculpt wise, I don't think any of them quite hit the mark. There's pros and cons about each.

[@therealfrananon]

I have and I love this figure, but there's a tiny detail that's off, which is crazy given the attention to detail that Hot Toys uses to offer: The long pouch on the left of the belt should be first instead of second.

[@brunocruz3541]

Amazing review, comparisons and specially poses! And we really need a 2.0 farmer Luke from ep4

[@daniel_sc1024]

"Vader is not the easiest to pose..." Thanks. Nice to know it's not just me. That cape looks awesome on him; but I always have a hard time posing those wired capes. Not sure when I will get my Bespin Luke, but I will probably pose him in a museum pose. I've become adept at those. 🤣 Great review video, as always.

[@Jeff-vf7mq]

Been holding off for only 1 luke and I'm excited for bespin luke after this vid, thanks

[@ForgedHorizons]

Still prefer the dx07 personally. Head is better here and you dont have to worry about the pleather for a while. But the dx07 has so so much stuff. Also think the clothes look better there. Not super clean like they are here.

[@This_is_Fah]

Yea it was hard for me to hold off on this figure, dx07 is still an amazing piece didn't think I needed to update it

[@prehistoricgentlemanbird9131]

I have DX07 as well. Still on the fence about this.

[@General_Vaderz]

This face looks weird asf, og is way better

[@MonstersOfTheUniverse]

I think the Vader head is exactly the same as the previous exclusive bonus ….

[@bowdog1227]

Awesome video! I was really on the fence on this figure but you pushed me right off into the buying grass...#blamejedha... It will be my first Luke in my collection. Keep up the incredible work!!

[@JedhaPatrol]

Glad to help :)

[@Cincinnatis5StarBarber]

Mannn Ryan, i can’t WAIT for my Bespin Luke! Should be next week. But i think you’re trippin cuz ROTJ Luke is STILL the most accurate head sculpt aside from Snowspeeder Luke🤷🏼‍♂️ But since you love this new one, I’m even more excited🤙🏻

[@billyjenkins7951]

Is the Vader shown the ESB one? I wanna get a good idea for the height difference if I was to either get Mando Luke or Bespin since I currently own the ESB Vader

[@JedhaPatrol]

That’s correct. ESB

[@sagetaylor5694]

​@@JedhaPatrol​where'd you get the custom wired cape? I need it! =)

[@rasih1447]

Solid figure. I like the accessories and head sculpt for the Bespin Luke, but I never liked the outfit (especially with the lack of weathering on the figure). I do like the snowspeeder pilot look though. Great review!

[@Gatchaman01]

Bought 2 so that I can mod the other with battle damage suit. An X-Wing Luke would be ez now all they have to do is use the resent one and put the black gloves & boots & boom X-Wing Luke with little effort and I say here’s my money $$$

Great unboxing as always 👊🏻 the next Luke Hot Toys should do - medical droid / Luke Skywalker 2-pack (scene at the very end of Empire)

[@gaber262]

“So good you need 2.” Influencers like you really put us in the current market we’re in. Remember when all you influencers said “Captain Rex, you need 2 of!” “Endgame Cap! Get 2!” And then the new collectors fell for it, had to quit the hobby. And now the figures aren’t worth anything and we’re stuck with limited preorders.

[@cestmoi2b]

Tell me you have no will your own without saying it. Life’s about choices, don’t blame others.

[@gaber262]

@@cestmoi2b what? You didn’t read this comment. I didn’t do what these influencers did. I chose not to listen to them. All these other collectors did. And now the market is ruined.

[@uncle_ben_rices_nephew]

This is my favorite Luke fit, but it’s too clean & pristine for me. I may go for Snow speeder Luke.

[@Chalor.]

Interesting, I didn't know the damp lookin' hairpiece comes on the figure in the box. Yeah, definitely the alternative hairpiece for a sweaty battle damaged look...so you'll either have to spend bookoos of money for that original alternate outfit, or just spend (less) bookoos of money for another one of these to do it yourself. *It actually works pretty damn well even with the pristine lookin' outfit. I just started getting conditioned with watching other reviewers pointing out it's the "battle damaged hair piece" and we get no battle damaged outfit. Not to mention, you'd have to bloody up the head too for it to really be that look.

[@Chalor.]

I got my _'about to charge'_ notice from Sideshow a few days ago. Had no idea it was gonna be out already, much less seeing on KZbin it's already been out. I definitely was 100% fine with not getting the deluxe. I get the cost has a lot to do with the brand attached to it, but $285 should've been the deluxe price. $60 extra for a Sideshow stand w/the extra piece of plastic for the front, and a (albiet _very_ intricate) head sculpt is kinda high. I mean for a mass produced item it is. You know what, it really isn't that high...I was just trying to make myself feel better with not getting the deluxe.

[@Paidonthedaily]

Theres a swutch on your other base! Lol

[@mattgruetzmacher23]

I hope they reissue a return of the Jedi Luke for the 40th anniversary but I also got this one because one can’t have enough Luke’s lol

[@williamowens6049]

Great video as usual. The figure looks fantastic. The severed head is a little creepy -- reminiscent of Jango Fett! The poses with Vader are epic.

[@JedhaPatrol]

Ha. Still not as creepy as baby Luke with Kenobi

[@Mark_Knight]

I just see more of Luke in the DX07 than this. I don't own either YET, but I see more Mark Hamill in the DX07. I think the boots do look a bit better, but the DX07 to me is the winner. Two bodies, big base, battle damaged...just. I see the DX07 under 500 often now...I may decide to get that instead..but yeah just my opinion.

[@JedhaPatrol]

Fair enough. Glad prices are coming down to make it more attainable

[@dmldml9260]

my favourite is still the dx07 battle damaged version...

[@andysmith9243]

Jedha, really man? I was trying NOT to buy another figure but whatever. I’ll order it now…😂

[@geewunder1171]

Hot Toyss lightsabers piss me off. They're dead and boring when they're not lit up, and even when they're lit up there nothing special. Why can't they paint these things, like a bright blue? Or make it a blue core with a bright white outer sheath? Or some combination of white and blue paint that maybe looks great when it's not lit, but looks stellar when you put light on it? Get it something to give it some life man. Does anybody know of any aftermarket sixth scale lightsabers that look good? I guess you would only need the blades because you could put them in the hilts...

[@geewunder1171]

Mountains of Lukes and not a single Han in years. Clearly there are problems licensing that character or Harrison Ford's likeness...

[@Paidonthedaily]

I honestlythink artist should rely on computer generated sculpts. Let the artist paint tge details. But as far as creating a sculpt. Computers can do a good job.

[@arapsavage]

your vader seems to be missing a tusk....lol.

[@Haveunerd]

I like how you pose scenes from the movie but if someone else does it it’s copying you not the movie.

[@JedhaPatrol]

🤣🤣🤣

[@strawnobi]

Dude it’s not a”light years beyond “ The Dxo7 headsculpt. Heck it’s not even original. It’s a reused Mando one. You might want to actually purchase and review the DX-07. That set in places still runs rings around this release.

[@JedhaPatrol]

That’s why there’s options. Choose for yourself

[@ltarteaga]

I’m absolutely terrible at posing figures lol

[@kristjan3376]

Looks good

[@JedhaPatrol]

[@paulclancy4221]

I'm not sure, but your pose with Vader and Luke looks wrong. Luke is in an Attack pose, but his light sabre is in a defence pose. One move and Lukes head will be rolling on the floor. The 1st pose of them.

[@JedhaPatrol]

You’ll have to blame Lucas for that one. It was inspired by the film itself 😎

Why is this a DX figure if all the battledmg Parts From the old DX are missing? What a fail. I will stay with the old DX Version.

[@Stiffkittens01]

This is an absolute joke 😄😄😄 Just how clean can you get?? IMO you should have bought the DX07 THE BDversion is simply amazing plus the weather vane dio. Worried about the regular Luke's head? Just swap it with snowspeeder Luke & have him wear the helmet They couldn't even be arsed to come up with a new exclusive, let lone a seperate outfit/parts like they did with Bruce Lee & BD T800 And NO MORE LUKES!!! Where is Han?!

[@OpinionatedFanboy]

The only drawback I see is he looks a little puffy. Is there a fat suit underneath?

[@JedhaPatrol]

a slight one, yes

Dude just buy a hasbro dagobah luke 12inch figure. It probably has the backpack you're looking for.

[@bagg10101]

Hot Toys could have cashed on for Pride month, giving us a Luke in Leia's slave bikini. Disney love messing with things such as making Lando pansexual with penchant for banging droids, so Luke in a Bikini would be a natural progression from that.

[@DrawTheLine35]

If you ain’t first, you’re last!

[@MegaManXtoys]

Such a disappointment.😞 The DX07 is way better than this new DX25 figure because it has 2 figures, a severed magnetic hand, a medical arm cast, and most importantly the weather vain, which is all missing from this new DX25 figure. Plus, they reused the head sculpt from the DX23 figure instead of sculpting a whole new one.

[@Paidonthedaily]

Oh stop. Your literally only saying that cos you dont own dx25. Dx07 is horrible!! Looks nothing like him! Also, the weathering is a piece of cake to do at home. I did itto mine it looks extremely accurate!

[@MegaManXtoys]

@yoshiOG Wow! You're simply amazing! You figured me all out already!👏 The DX25 is double the price of what the DX07 was and it came with a ton more accessories. Plus, you'd have to buy 2 DX25s in order to have and replicate a battle damaged version and a clean version.
