Star Wars : The Last Jedistar Mark Hamill come out to be very happy with the latest Luke Skywalker activity figure from Hot Toys . Over the preceding 40 year , Hamill has arguably had more action figures bring forth in his alikeness than any other histrion alive , thanks to his innovative role as the Rebellion hero Luke in the firstStar Warsfilm in 1977 .
First produced as a icteric - haired 3 3/4 - inch action mechanism figure by Kenner that really did n’t resemble Hamill at all ( but was cool still ) , the likeness of Hamill in plastic form has increase dramatically in realism over the class . Hamill ’s portrait has been realized by companies like Hasbro with its 6 - inchStar WarsBlack Series line , as well as Sideshow Collectibles and Hot Toys in 1:6 scale ( 12 - column inch ) form – and the latest figure of Luke from the latter has get the attention of the fabled actor in a big way .
While attending the New York Comic - Con Thursday , Hamill stopped by the Sideshow Collectibles stall to see an forthcoming 12 - inch activity figure of Luke fromThe Last Jedifrom Hot Toys ( which is dish out stateside by Sideshow ) . Hamill apparently was so lofty of the oeuvre the artisans had done on the figure that he flummox for a photograph with the miniskirt - version of himself , which was subsequently posted on Sideshow’sFacebook Thomas Nelson Page . See the post below :
The upcoming pattern of Luke is Hot Toys ' second iteration of the character from the newStar Warstrilogy . The first captured Luke as he appeared at the end ofThe Force Awakens , where he wearing a beige - colorize Jedi outfit and robes ; while the novel 12 - inch fig is of Luke in a dark dark-brown rig and hooded cape that he wears inThe Last Jedi . Unlikeprevious releases of Lukeas he appear in the films in the originalStar Warstrilogy , the Jedi passe-partout does not have a lightsaber as an accessory .
It ’s always fun to see actors react to their action name , which undoubtedly is a surreal experience when their semblance is entrance as perfectly as it is by Hot Toys and Sideshow . It ’s clearly the ultimate for Hamill , though , since he ’s been a longtime fan of picture collectible himself ; which explains , perhaps why he host the online showPop Culture Quest , which fans can stream on Comic - Con HQ .
