I can't afford Hot Toys figures and I don't know where I would place them... but I can appreciate what is done here. It will have taken almost 46 years for any company to nail the Mark Hamill face. Sure, it's based on the de-aging technology but wow! And yes, seeing him with Ahsoka as you posed them is incredible... The legacy of Anakin Skywalker as a Jedi Knight lives on.
Gahh, can't wait for mine to arrive! This is peak Luke for me. A piece I believe I'll keep all my life. My one and only wish were for the lightsaber blade to be 1. USB powered, and 2. a more vibrant green. Otherwise, he's OUTSTANDING!
Good review, Thanks for putting the old ROTJ Luke hair piece on the new face sculpt. Hopefully, we get that new face/old hair in a ROTJ 40th anniversary reissue Jedi Luke later this year.
Awesome review! I got the dx22 and I swapped out the hair part for an extra hair piece I got a while ago off eBay from the Jedi knight Luke and I think it enhances the figure amazingly. I do wish they had the dang eye knob thing that moves both eyes at once over the individual eyes, I thought that would be what distinguishes the dx line but I guess now it’s just the packaging? Still, one of my favorite if not my favorite figures in my collection!
@@toddalan9383 hello! The hair piece I got was from the first return of the Jedi luke, mms429. But the Endor version mms516 is also compatible! And last I heard the snow speeder version and the new bespin dx are all compatible with one another as well
Ryan! Man, your posing skills are Jedi Master level! The pose with Luke, Mando, and Ahsoka is sick! I just paid off my Mando Luke and can't wait to get him.
Okay, now I'm thinking that at some point I need to see live-action Luke and Ahsoka fighting together....particularly after seeing this pose with your fantastic action figures! Nicely done!
Really enjoy your figure reviews and you recommendations on figure collecting in general. Very awesome Luke indeed. I have the snowspeeder Luke and am astounded by that headsculpt especially in hand. It’s difficult for me to judge on camera, but where would you place the Mando Luke head sculpt with the Snow speeder head sculpt? Better, worse, or about the same?
What I think is a very cool thing with this set is the fact that you can actually buy a Dark Trooper take it apart and put the damaged part on top of it that is cool
I'm late to the party but I just got my Luke in and OMG am I having so much fun posing him. He really is an incredible figure! I got the regular version so no Dark Trooper but that's alright.
It's not a fair comparison against the regular ROTJ Luke. The deluxe version of ROTJ has a slimmer body (much less fat suit) and better paint applications on the skin and hair. Also, the tayloring of the deluxe ROTJ is better than the regular one
Hi, just wondering of you've had any staining problems with the robes ? Just got into collecting and got Mandalorian luke. I want to display him with the robe but I fear it will stain my figure after reading comments about it happening with other robed figures...thanks
To my eyes, the Return of the Jedi Luke looks better, at least head on. I think the new one looks good, but a bit on the emaciated side. I don't need Luke to look beefy, but he does need to look like he's not on a crash diet. To each their own, but I'll stick with my Luke Jedi.
Oh man this figure looks awesome! Still waiting on my Ahsoka and this Deluxe Luke....i purchased both like 2 weeks after they were announced and still no figure..im so excited i want it now lol.
you could always use the good dark trooper half in like a 3d printed hanging mount that moff gidioen is inspecting (similar to the half iron man suit diorama set)
I missed the previous Luke with the swooping hair and Endor gear! Tried to get the Endor version but it’s out of my budget. Come on Hot Toys re-issue! Lol
Great review as always Ryan!! Waiting on mine to get here along with Ashoka!!! I got 6 Dark Troopers so the damaged one will complete the display!! I love this figure!!! And can't wait to see ur room tour...and also my wife is starting to say I have a problem....I always say blame Jedha!!! Have a great one thanks for ur content best on here!!
I’m really tempted by this but I had picked up the Luke Mando upgrade clothing from OT Customs a while back and I don’t think I can justify another Luke that’s basically RotJ. I may try to grab the head off of eBay eventually.
Am I the only one who absolutely hate the swoosh effects for the sabers? I mean, it makes the sabers seem as the movement is soooooooo little. When Jedi uses his saber the movement usually is big and the swoosh effect as well...
Definitely not the ultimate Luke, and you can hear in your voice that you don't think so either, even though in this vid, you clearly *want* it to be! It's a highly overrated figure that only had the hype because of the epic scene in the show and you only have to look at the amount of these Lukes being sold on eBay for okay prices to show peoples' disappointment in this lacklustre DX offering. The Snowspeeder Luke and the unpadded RoTJ Deluxe are so much better than this figure. In fact, personally, I'd choose the original RoTJ Luke over this one - and after seeing your obvious unsureness at 21:20, I'd hazard a guess you think so too! 😅
Imagine if they thought about adding "wireless charger" type connections to the base /feet and any other part with light effects to finally delete those damn batteries.

This is probably the last figure to feature the interchangable lightsaber arm. The figure was announced before the USB light up feature.
Gahh, can't wait for mine to arrive! This is peak Luke for me. A piece I believe I'll keep all my life. My one and only wish were for the lightsaber blade to be 1. USB powered, and 2. a more vibrant green. Otherwise, he's OUTSTANDING!
You will be very happy once he arrives
@@JedhaPatrol 100%!!
I’ll keep it until those boots start disintegrating, probably.
Good review, Thanks for putting the old ROTJ Luke hair piece on the new face sculpt. Hopefully, we get that new face/old hair in a ROTJ 40th anniversary reissue Jedi Luke later this year.
Definitely one of the best Lukes I’ve seen! Awesome review as always Ryan!
Him and Ahsoka posed together look so good.
I still think the rotj Luke headsculpt looks better

I agree with the eye movement...it's easy to get crosseyed

I’ve been waiting for this review!!
Enjoy
Great video as always mate, thanks for your thoughts on him 😊
Ryan! Man, your posing skills are Jedi Master level! The pose with Luke, Mando, and Ahsoka is sick! I just paid off my Mando Luke and can't wait to get him.
love that switchable hair. Reminds me of the old Marx toys way back. That is a great sculpt.
Absolutely badass and those poses on another level
To me ultimate Luke would be a combination of both. Mando head sculpt and body with ROTJ Luke hair and outfit.
Okay, now I'm thinking that at some point I need to see live-action Luke and Ahsoka fighting together....particularly after seeing this pose with your fantastic action figures! Nicely done!
I pre-ordered mine a couple months ago. Hope it arrives soon. So far, it looks pretty damn good based on this!
Really enjoy your figure reviews and you recommendations on figure collecting in general. Very awesome Luke indeed. I have the snowspeeder Luke and am astounded by that headsculpt especially in hand. It’s difficult for me to judge on camera, but where would you place the Mando Luke head sculpt with the Snow speeder head sculpt? Better, worse, or about the same?
Awesome video! Can’t wait for my Mando Luke to arrive, I have him on PO from Sideshow! Hopefully he arrives into my collection sometime next month.
What I think is a very cool thing with this set is the fact that you can actually buy a Dark Trooper take it apart and put the damaged part on top of it that is cool
The brown cape ROTJ look for me… I have both figures anyway.
I'm late to the party but I just got my Luke in and OMG am I having so much fun posing him. He really is an incredible figure! I got the regular version so no Dark Trooper but that's alright.
the luke skywalker was cool
The more I see that ahsoka figure the more I want it, they've absolutely nailed it.
LOVE your poses!
I’ll be using the backdrop.
New Ultimate Luke for sure!
I prefer to wait for the Luke "Bespin" version which is for me the most beautiful version !
It's not a fair comparison against the regular ROTJ Luke. The deluxe version of ROTJ has a slimmer body (much less fat suit) and better paint applications on the skin and hair. Also, the tayloring of the deluxe ROTJ is better than the regular one

I think the USB feature for the SW hot toys figures start with the Obi-Wan series' figures if I'm not mistaken.
This looks good. This is the way
This is the way
Such a great figure. I usually don’t go for human headsculpts, but I might make an exception for this one.
To my eyes, the Return of the Jedi Luke looks better, at least head on. I think the new one looks good, but a bit on the emaciated side. I don't need Luke to look beefy, but he does need to look like he's not on a crash diet. To each their own, but I'll stick with my Luke Jedi.
With a hair swap it’s perfect.
Um yeah, I will definitely be stealing that first badass pose.
Oh man this figure looks awesome! Still waiting on my Ahsoka and this Deluxe Luke....i purchased both like 2 weeks after they were announced and still no figure..im so excited i want it now lol.
you could always use the good dark trooper half in like a 3d printed hanging mount that moff gidioen is inspecting (similar to the half iron man suit diorama set)
Is it normal that I can’t remove the back piece of the dark trooper? Any tips?
This is one of my most anticipated figures of 2023. Hopefully, it will be released from the clutches of Sideshow very soon!
Bad ass epic poses great job!
Where did you get your turntable?
SO SICK!!
yes!
Best of 2023? We'll wait for the video like reeeaaaallly late 2024 if 2023 told us anything lololol. Kidding, you rock Jedha! Even though you're late!
Just when I wasn’t going to get another Luke after Bespin Luke 😱🤦🏻♂️
I missed the previous Luke with the swooping hair and Endor gear! Tried to get the Endor version but it’s out of my budget. Come on Hot Toys re-issue! Lol
You are still the Best in the business 👑
Hey buddy, can you put the head sculpt on the rotj Luke body?
Does snowspeeder Luke's hair fit as well? Is it any different than the one you switched with it here? Definitely prefer the darker hair
Once again amazing review and posing!! Can’t wait to get mine, sorry but defo pinching that Luke/Ahsoka pose!
Go for it!
Awesome! Can't wait for mine! Being waiting for over a year! Where can a get the battery system? Fusion reactor?🤔 Awesome video!!
Great review as always Ryan!! Waiting on mine to get here along with Ashoka!!! I got 6 Dark Troopers so the damaged one will complete the display!! I love this figure!!! And can't wait to see ur room tour...and also my wife is starting to say I have a problem....I always say blame Jedha!!! Have a great one thanks for ur content best on here!!
This is the best Luke.
Hey @jedha, did you clean your mando’s armor?
Awesome review!
Do you by any chance have a link to fusion reactors?
I’m really tempted by this but I had picked up the Luke Mando upgrade clothing from OT Customs a while back and I don’t think I can justify another Luke that’s basically RotJ. I may try to grab the head off of eBay eventually.
Am I the only one who absolutely hate the swoosh effects for the sabers? I mean, it makes the sabers seem as the movement is soooooooo little. When Jedi uses his saber the movement usually is big and the swoosh effect as well...
Sadly no this figure doesn't have the USB saber. The first figure that's going to release with it is that Kenobi show Darth Vader.
Curious how Wilde the showcase turntable is
I love Hot Toys dolls 😌👌🏻
If you have a choice to keep hot toys, moon Knight night or hot toys the newest book of boba Fett
Looks really good, when you talk about hooking the trooper up to "future reactors", are you ok to send a link?
Yea mine had been ordered last year and been paid for about 4 months now and no figure. Wth Sideshow?
ive waited so long for this. got mine on the way but i live in uk so i know the wait gonna be a while
its been 84 years...
Posing skills 🫡🔥🔥
Would’ve been cool to have the backpack with him to carry grogu.
Yeah but when he had the back pack it wasnt the same outfit
Do you think the cloak needs to be rung out with detergent for the excess dye like other jedi cloaks or is it different?
I was wondering the same thing I’m leaning towards no, but would like to know for sure
PopsCollectibles located in the States? Awesome review by the way.
They are a HK reseller.
@@JedhaPatrol Thank you for the response fellow collector.
I was able to buy RTOJ Luke for retail before the release of this figure. So I’m passing.
Is it just me, or does Ryan look and sound intimidatingly like JK Simmons?
The Jedi Luke HS is pretty bad >
I can't believe they didn't include the new technology for the saber??? wtf are Hot Toys doing?
Mando Luke is amazing! They botched the ROTJ versions. Ugly sculpts.. bad tailoring in the outfit. I wish I had the hair pieces tho. Lol
:)
I'm banking they will redo ROTJ Luke with posable eyes.. but I'm getting this and the Empire Luke DX25
Hope Jesse is next one released
So would you say it’s bad ass? 😅
Looks good but to much money 💰 😕
Definitely not the ultimate Luke, and you can hear in your voice that you don't think so either, even though in this vid, you clearly *want* it to be!

Take the hair off and it’s 100% Sebastian Stan
Not this can't be the ultimate luke because the hair sucks. Lol😅
🤣 😂 🤣 😂.... 5:30....he's trying HELLA hard to not like the backdrop.... Bro, maybe they heard your complaints and trying to get it right.
Imagine if they thought about adding "wireless charger" type connections to the base /feet and any other part with light effects to finally delete those damn batteries.
Is Grogu losing the pinkness in his face as he gets older..??
I dont see Luke in this figure🤷🏻♂️ Its like someone take his clothes and put the same hair look style. Bad CGI
