We all know that Luke Skywalker experienced great conflict in The Last Jedi, but I don’t think we were expecting Hasbro’s photo-real tech to emulate such a range of emotions on the new Luke Skywalker figure (VC 146).
For those that have gotten their hands on this figure, what are your impressions? I have two of them now… one looks really good and I love it; but the other one… not so much.
Let us know your thoughts after the jump!
UPDATE – New expressions added!
Amazon has finally activated the product link for the upcoming TVC Darth Revan (VC150). There is no updated image and it is currently out of stock but you can still order it and maybe it will fill at some point or maybe orders will get cancelled. It’s a crap shoot anymore with Amazon.
This morning while out and about, I swung by my local Ross and while I can’t seem to luck into finding the red Resistance A-Wing, I did come across some deluxe Force Link sets for $6.99.
Good luck, happy toy hunting, and let us know what you’re seeing at your local discount stores!
