I think his face looks great, so impressive! Not overly keen on the halo effect, but the face sculpt is fab. Like you, I much prefer Luke's brown robes to the white robes. Nice review as always!
Love the humor in this review lol. I missed the preorder when this guy went up, so if black series did this figure I'd totally pick him up, especially with the face print tech.
The Guardian no he had the blue lightsaber, bruh that’s what made it obvious that he was not really there. (Because it got destroyed like 10 minutes ago)
Yeah I want the Crait Luke too. But this is nice and going to be one of rare and hard figuarts to get in a bit like Padme. So if you want it get it now.
Robo it was super badass i bought a Morgan figure from the walking dead show and i used the staff morgan comes with for this luke and it makes luke i donno more jedi masterful? If thats a word ha to me it gave him more of a mr miyagi look super wise. expecially next to rey training her, it just fits so friggin well.sweet review always enjoy watchin you man!
I just paid $80 for mine. $70 for Iron-Spider. Ouch. But 3 days ago I watched this review & immediately said "Ya I totally need that figure!" (Old Luke) lol. Add on Shf versions of Mimban, ANH Han, Chewie, Vader, & Obi-Wan. TLJ Phasma, Stormtrooper, & Old Luke. Avengers Infinity War Cap, Iron-Spider, Iron-Man being shipped from Japan. We just need ANH Leia to recreate the heroes bro. *Soon my precious, soon*
I watched this review about 8 times in the past 3 weeks and tried to convince myself I didn't need this figure... Then it popped up on eBay for about 50 USD including shipping secondhand, and I HAD to get it. It's fantastic in person. Almost eerie how much it looks like a tiny Mark Hamill.
@@gasti_musri Unfortunately I have had it in storage rather than display for the past two years, but it’s a pretty solid figure, both physically and aesthetically. I’d definitely recommend it.
The sculpt looks so amazing I 100% agree with you on that Robo it's so good that even if it's a basic figure it's fun to play with just by how the outfit makes you think it's cloth and I would seriously wish to get into the SH figuarts star Wars line along with others but gosh so many action figures so little money lol I'm even a bit sad I couldn't pick up the diorama set with the movie turtles since I had an idea to use all 4 of them with my Mezco BvS Batman that's in storage to make a live action verison of TMNT and Batman
I snagged the dio TMNT set, justified it as an easy background to spruce up more of my pictures for reviews. Just a nice, easy, solid thing to toss in the closet and pull out when I need it. Hopefully, haha.
The Fwoosh Lucky! I would've love to get that set not only for the turtles but the background to spice up my photo shots but I need a good camera too since tired of using my phone since the quality sucks lol also Robo have you looked into Extreme sets for good backgrounds too? I wanted to get those sets for my figures since they look cool plus it's useful too since you can always pack them up easy due to them being made outta cardboard
I have, and we have some review samples sitting at Veebs' house that he's been through but has packed up because of a move. I may have to talk him out of a couple.
Excellent figure. I think it would be absolute perfection if it included a good alternate face, action oriented (imo the same flaw the SHF Han Solo has)...but bandai can be randomly kinda cheap that way. In my case not liking The Last Jedi has certainly saved me the 80$ (give or take) this figure would have cost me...but like you said, we should be objective and call it like it is: Bandai knocked it out of the park with Old Luke
Its the same problem I have with the Ben Kenobi figure. Yeah, both look great but they are really lacking in the action parts. And when i spent >60 bucks for a character only in a (boring) vanilla pose, i could get a statue. If i had more money, that wouldn´t be a problem and i would use these figures as statues but for now i just want a little bit posing action for my money.
One looks at this figure, the manner by which Bandai figured out the solution for a continued fabric texture look on the shirt, which flows past the belt into straight fabric, and then looks at their A New Hope Vader. And the latter just looks dumb. The solution was staring them right in the face; if they can perform as exceptionally tight of a woven sculpt match for this, there's no real reason they couldn't have come up with a fabric/sculpt combination to make Vader's robes work the same.
Man, that figure looks good, but that seam around the head just kills it for me. I really dislike it when they do that! I didn’t like TLJ, but that’s a great idea of using this or the Crait Luke as an Expanded Universe Luke.
Pretty brave to setup $60+ action figures next to murky water like that, I know I wouldn't be able to risk it. Photos came out great though, almost wish I'd preordered this one
Haha, I had to stop a couple of times because the wind picked up and I was afraid they would blow over, but it's a shallow creek. I was more worried about snakes than dunking a figure. I've had one roll up on me before while taking shots in that same spot.
I like the Rey so much but I like it less standing next to the Luke. I really thought the last Jedi was great and I get bummed that people bully other people just because they don't like it as much.
Mario Fontana You think people who don't like TLJ didn't get called like "fake fans" or "wamen haters"? Yeah, it didn't go one way, people who didn't like the direction Star Wars is going also got attacked by Lucasfilm, BOI!
actually what I mean is that you are seeking conflict over a really silly subject, and justifying your own behavior as OK because other people did it. Getting mad or putting people down because of their opinions on movies is never OK.
The face looks great and it looks like a nice figure, interesting that Rey doesn't look that great next to it - I don't think Rey is a bad figure, but the face looks too anime when compared to Luke's. I liked TLJ and I do think there's a bit of what happened with the prequels came out, its just the internet wasn't as established back then, as it is now. Everyone went ape-shit, Jar Jar was hated (I'm still not a fan) but nearly 20 year later they're ok, there's actually parts I love. We just need to get like 15+ years and a few more films out of the way and everyone will have chilled out again!
I think you nailed it. It hasn't had time to become nostalgic yet. And I agree, Rey isn't a bad figure at all (although I now lean towards the last Black Series figure as better) but a LOT of other figures pale in comparison to this Luke. Soooo good.
Great video. It would've been better if the lightsaber was added, but anything is possible since this is an exclusive. Looking forward to making that purchase, makes a great addition to the collection.
Was that Rey down there in your outdoor picture? I could barely make out who it was. I personally detested TLJ. A complete missed opportunity for Luke to show off his powers. Plus Luke saving his father and then trying to kill his own nephew, was just awful.
Just can't bring myself to get anymore of the new stuff, really not excited about the merchandise, after TLJ, at least not the new stuff, I'll continue to get the original and even prequel trilogy merch, my money is just better used for things that make me feel good and not towards inflating the coffers of those people that refer to me as a venomous, man baby because I don't embrace poorly made entertainment.
the facesculpt captures that "GO AWAAAY!" scene perfectly
IMO this is the best likeness, looks superb
Agreed, it's an amazing likeness.
Props for those photos with Rey at the end, especially the outdoor ones!
Gus is my spirit animal.
Damn it Robo, I never would have picked this up in a thousand years but seeing this review and how incredible it is visually...now I'm really tempted.
Bought this as my birthday present. The sculpt is amazing. Just wish it can also include the stick he used while fighting rey.
To those who need a lightsaber for this figure, the black series ROTJ 6" Luke's lightsaber fits into the open palm very well.
I think his face looks great, so impressive! Not overly keen on the halo effect, but the face sculpt is fab. Like you, I much prefer Luke's brown robes to the white robes.
Nice review as always!
If you look at the back of his jacket closely, I’m pretty sure you can see creases sculpted in. Bandai did an AMAZING job on this figure’s sculpt
They really did, it's awesome that they went all out here.
The Fwoosh I’m very proud of Bandai, they are really doing well
I need this mini Mark Hamill to permanently reside on my computer desk, and a dubstep remix of Robo saying "Is it cloth? No, it's plastic."
Don't tempt me!
Digging those outside shots!
I had to check lots of nooks and crannies for slithery type animals, haha.
Was regretting not preordering this until they showed off that Crait Luke. Though after seeing this review I'm back to wanting this one.
If I had to absolutely choose, and if they put as much love into the Crait as they did this one, I think I'd go for Crait too.
Thanks for getting the Articulated Icons back in stock! I picked up a bunch of Han...I mean Red Ninjas, and can't wait to get ''em in hand.
They still should've included the milk jug, a few extra hands and the stick he uses to fight Rey
You were cracking me up with the instructions!
Haha, when I pulled them out I thought "Seriously?"
It's a damn good day when I open UA-cam and see a new fwoosh video. Hot diggity.
Love the humor in this review lol. I missed the preorder when this guy went up, so if black series did this figure I'd totally pick him up, especially with the face print tech.
Mine is in the mail! Can't wait!
Glad you cleared up those instructions. I was lost. 😂
Haha, yeah, I've never seen such complicated instructions in all my life!
I know he didn't use his green lightsaber during the movie, but I wish Bandai just gave it to us just as a bonus.
Did he have the green during the two "Killing Kylo" scenes? I need to watch the movie again. But yeah, would have been nice to just toss in.
The Fwoosh Yes he did!
The Fwoosh I want a Figuarts of them Space Tiddies.
The Guardian no he had the blue lightsaber, bruh that’s what made it obvious that he was not really there. (Because it got destroyed like 10 minutes ago)
Yeah mine is definitely getting the green saber to go with my Jaina! Great review man
That new last jedi luke they showed is how he looked when he "fights" Kylo Ren, I'm REALLY excited for that one
Beautiful fig! Love it and your take on it.
I got this guy a couple days ago. Kind of lacking in accessories but great figure. Can’t wait for Bandai to make a Crait version.
Don’t really need this figure, I’ll hold out for the Crait version.
I want both now
I loved Luke Force Crait look and yeah amazing I agree
Unfortunately the crait one doesn't seem to have the best facesculpt =(
Crazy how many years ago you created Gus 🤯 felt like only yesterday but nope xD love you Robo!!
Yeah I want the Crait Luke too. But this is nice and going to be one of rare and hard figuarts to get in a bit like Padme. So if you want it get it now.
Can you swap on the SHF ROTJ Luke head on this body?
Thats one of THEE best Luke sculpts iv'e seen🤘
May the fwoosh be with you would be a awesome shirt!!
When they release the Resistance/Island Journey Rey she better come with a weather vane and alternate hands for Luke!
Robo it was super badass i bought a Morgan figure from the walking dead show and i used the staff morgan comes with for this luke and it makes luke i donno more jedi masterful? If thats a word ha to me it gave him more of a mr miyagi look super wise. expecially next to rey training her, it just fits so friggin well.sweet review always enjoy watchin you man!
Ooo, I may have to grab one of those! Thanks man.
can the head be swapped into the Black Series Jedi Master body? I always want him in white robe
Probably could with some dremeling, the neck ball on SWBS is way bigger than SHF.
I just paid $80 for mine. $70 for Iron-Spider. Ouch. But 3 days ago I watched this review & immediately said "Ya I totally need that figure!" (Old Luke) lol.
Add on Shf versions of Mimban, ANH Han, Chewie, Vader, & Obi-Wan. TLJ Phasma, Stormtrooper, & Old Luke. Avengers Infinity War Cap, Iron-Spider, Iron-Man being shipped from Japan. We just need ANH Leia to recreate the heroes bro. *Soon my precious, soon*
...but, is it cloth?
No, plastic. Maybe.
I would buy it just for the head sculpt.
Great review Robo, I’ll be picking him up for sure. Any news on a Count Dooku release date?
Nope. I'm scared as hell he'll end up on that long list of shown stuff that never goes anywhere.
I watched this review about 8 times in the past 3 weeks and tried to convince myself I didn't need this figure... Then it popped up on eBay for about 50 USD including shipping secondhand, and I HAD to get it. It's fantastic in person. Almost eerie how much it looks like a tiny Mark Hamill.
How's the figure holding up, thinking to pair it with my shf kylo ren
@@gasti_musri Unfortunately I have had it in storage rather than display for the past two years, but it’s a pretty solid figure, both physically and aesthetically. I’d definitely recommend it.
Considering the Crait version they just revealed i am kinda glad i didn't get this one
Saludos desde MÉXICO, i love youre videos and your star wars collection you should make a video collection 🙏
The sculpt looks so amazing I 100% agree with you on that Robo it's so good that even if it's a basic figure it's fun to play with just by how the outfit makes you think it's cloth and I would seriously wish to get into the SH figuarts star Wars line along with others but gosh so many action figures so little money lol I'm even a bit sad I couldn't pick up the diorama set with the movie turtles since I had an idea to use all 4 of them with my Mezco BvS Batman that's in storage to make a live action verison of TMNT and Batman

I have, and we have some review samples sitting at Veebs' house that he's been through but has packed up because of a move. I may have to talk him out of a couple.
The Fwoosh True I saw the review on The Fwoosh page and read it looks great! and I see that's awesome! Also too I hope Veeb's move goes well
Me before I watch your reviews, "nah I don't need that figure, I'll pass"
Me after watching your reviews, "I need this Figure!!!"
So thanks lol
Haha, I'm sorry. Kind of.
Congrats on getting on the tmnt box. It's all downhill from here
Great review but the real question is..............is it cloth?
No, it's plastic. I think. Maybe. Okay, yeah, I checked again, it's plastic.
Really want this figure and I loved Luke's look in the movie. This looks really right, I'm just worried the price is really gonna kick my ass lol
Yeah, from what I'm hearing, the price shot up. Damn exclusives.
why do things become web exclusives anyhow?
No really. That luke is not that famous between whiny fans/collectors. It is going for 80 usd.
Marcos J Echevarria look for him in any page. He is over $110
Fwoosh but is it cloth?
No, it's plastic. I think. I'll go check again...
Man, that face looks so good.
Didn't like TLJ but this is a great looking figure. That said, I'll be waiting for the Crait version.
Not a bad thing at all, I love this version but I need that Crait version.
Are you gonna announce the winners of the give away
Yeah, next week.
Crap... I regret not ordering this one. This looks great! I’m not missing out on the Crait version though.
Excellent figure. I think it would be absolute perfection if it included a good alternate face, action oriented (imo the same flaw the SHF Han Solo has)...but bandai can be randomly kinda cheap that way. In my case not liking The Last Jedi has certainly saved me the 80$ (give or take) this figure would have cost me...but like you said, we should be objective and call it like it is: Bandai knocked it out of the park with Old Luke
Yeah, if nothing else, it shows that Bandai isn't stuck in cruise control, they can improve some things. Now if they can continue that...
Its the same problem I have with the Ben Kenobi figure. Yeah, both look great but they are really lacking in the action parts. And when i spent >60 bucks for a character only in a (boring) vanilla pose, i could get a statue.
If i had more money, that wouldn´t be a problem and i would use these figures as statues but for now i just want a little bit posing action for my money.
Good looking figure and a good review.
Still available at Toy Ninja for 85 bucks.
They could have added the metal hand. Fantastic figure tho. Being an web ex I knew not much was coming with it.
Nice review
One looks at this figure, the manner by which Bandai figured out the solution for a continued fabric texture look on the shirt, which flows past the belt into straight fabric, and then looks at their A New Hope Vader.

I didn’t like TLJ, but that’s a great idea of using this or the Crait Luke as an Expanded Universe Luke.
Overall,I think it's a good looking figure.Good review!
Getting really mad that mine hasnt arrived yet. But I love TLJ so much, I really hope mine isnt lost.
Where did you order it?
darn, now i really wish i got this
I would be so down to buy this if BBTS wasn't charging $114 cause it's an exclusive
Price?
It was about $65 when I preordered it, others are saying it's pretty expensive now.
Pretty brave to setup $60+ action figures next to murky water like that, I know I wouldn't be able to risk it. Photos came out great though, almost wish I'd preordered this one
Right those pictures were fantastic, but damn I got antsy when I noticed Rey on the slightly sloped rock RIGHT BESIDE the "cliff" lol
Arkansas creeks are pretty clean and shallow I know from experience
Haha, I had to stop a couple of times because the wind picked up and I was afraid they would blow over, but it's a shallow creek. I was more worried about snakes than dunking a figure. I've had one roll up on me before while taking shots in that same spot.
The Fwoosh I hate snakes around here
Still doing the giveaway? I love the channel--itd be great to have an SHF Flash from Robo!!
Any word on when the old man Han Solo figure will be out?
Stephen rowland not yet. We've just seen him on display (ssme with jakku rey, trooper finn, etc.)
Activator Review thank you for the quick response I hope soon tho or a empire strikes back Han
it's nice and all but too damn expensive. $150.00 before shipping.
Don't worry about it robo, they just don't like to talk about good movies and don't like it when people like em
Yeah, I don't worry too much about it, more about cutting it off before it goes down that road.
The face is 50/50 to me it looks really good but somewhat the sculpt is a bit odd however its obvious its Luke Skywalker either way
I want it!
The joints look so obvious, both, elbows and knees, so bright compared with the figure, if you check the prototype match a lot better.
You are telling me you skip the bike chase on ROTJ?
No no, the Yoda part. As a kid it just felt like such a slam the brakes thing between two awesome action parts.
Yeah and a bit too dramatic
Luis Miranda
Worse part of ROTJ is those darn Ewoks...creepy little critters
Darth Vestius I find the special edition Jabba's Palace song WAAAAAAY worse
Oh dang, yeah, I forgot about the new song.
I LOL'd so many times.
he doesnt come with a light saber?
I don't think he had much lightsaber time in this get-up?
I don't hat the Last Jedi. Just wanted to say that. Great "action" figure review!
Thanks!
also whats up with luke not having drop down legs?? EVERY LUKE doesnt have em lol
does bandai just not want an actual articulated luke?????
A world left to rot,
A world that we lost,
Luke betrayed by us all.
😱😱😱😱😱
Sweet mother of Anakin!!!
the red lightsaber crystal is from Darth Vader's lightsaber.
Was that confirmed? Everything I've seen just says "Sith crystal." Plus did Luke have time to retrieve Vader's lightsaber?
no, but I really don't see any other reason Luke would have a sith lightsaber crystal.
Are you sure that's a Luke figure and not a Robo figure???
Haha, we're both pretty grumpy!
I cannot wait for the hologram Luke figure.
I loved TLJ to death.
Is cool but is so short figure and the price is big mmm...😥😖
Having troubles with those sausage fingers😜
i Got New S H Figuarts Broly And Master of The UNIVERSE Classics Prince Adam And Trap JAW And Strtos Power Con Exclusive
I like the Rey so much but I like it less standing next to the Luke. I really thought the last Jedi was great and I get bummed that people bully other people just because they don't like it as much.
same
Mario Fontana You think people who don't like TLJ didn't get called like "fake fans" or "wamen haters"? Yeah, it didn't go one way, people who didn't like the direction Star Wars is going also got attacked by Lucasfilm, BOI!
Yeah, you're sort of proving my point. Time to let it go.
Mario Fontana Oh, you mean that people got bullied by other because they don't like TLJ as much, right?
actually what I mean is that you are seeking conflict over a really silly subject, and justifying your own behavior as OK because other people did it. Getting mad or putting people down because of their opinions on movies is never OK.
Best figure since mace windu
I'M ON A SPECTRUM!
Wait...no lightsaber?
He never had his lightsaber in the movie.
bandai's figuarts are high end collector's item, not toys for children so it depends on your principle that you buy figuarts or black series
So what if I buy both?
The face looks great and it looks like a nice figure, interesting that Rey doesn't look that great next to it - I don't think Rey is a bad figure, but the face looks too anime when compared to Luke's.
I liked TLJ and I do think there's a bit of what happened with the prequels came out, its just the internet wasn't as established back then, as it is now. Everyone went ape-shit, Jar Jar was hated (I'm still not a fan) but nearly 20 year later they're ok, there's actually parts I love. We just need to get like 15+ years and a few more films out of the way and everyone will have chilled out again!
I think you nailed it. It hasn't had time to become nostalgic yet. And I agree, Rey isn't a bad figure at all (although I now lean towards the last Black Series figure as better) but a LOT of other figures pale in comparison to this Luke. Soooo good.
Great video. It would've been better if the lightsaber was added, but anything is possible since this is an exclusive. Looking forward to making that purchase, makes a great addition to the collection.
Rey isn’t tall. Mark Hamill is a short fella
Right, but every SHF Luke lines up and looks good with other figures, and Hamill has 2 inches on Ridley. I feel like Rey should be just a tad shorter.
Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?
Was that Rey down there in your outdoor picture? I could barely make out who it was. I personally detested TLJ. A complete missed opportunity for Luke to show off his powers. Plus Luke saving his father and then trying to kill his own nephew, was just awful.
vlenhoff Worry not, after the failure of Soylo, KK will be leaving soon! Hopefully Dave Filoni will be put in charge.
I won’t ever come near buying this fig for 2 reasons: web exclusive and “Last Jedi Luke”. I’d rather spend the money on the Jar Jar Binks one.
Cool, I'd take a Jar Jar too!
Just can't bring myself to get anymore of the new stuff, really not excited about the merchandise, after TLJ, at least not the new stuff, I'll continue to get the original and even prequel trilogy merch, my money is just better used for things that make me feel good and not towards inflating the coffers of those people that refer to me as a venomous, man baby because I don't embrace poorly made entertainment.
Hmm? Mmm... Ahem! Hmhm, khem...
why The Last Jedi
Because he barely appeared in The Force Awakens?
Is it cloth? No, its plastic.
Are you sure? Okay, yeah, it's plastic. Wait...
No green milk bottle accessory...Why even buy?
Best action figure from the best movie.
May the Fwoosh be with you? Really Robo? Smh
Really really.
S.G Figuarts cannot make good hairline at all. The paint always looks so cheaply done
