Head on over to their Facebook page for a look.

Toyguide Update: TBS #05 Luke Skywalker
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with our next entry for wave 1 in the The Black Series 3-3/4″ line. Today, we take a look at Luke Skywalker (#05).
PROS: Hasbro has revisited a much maligned attempt from 2007 and improved upon it greatly with an excellent head sculpt and deco (no more chocolate pudding hair!), and screen accurate accessories with the proper blaster and lightsaber. The articulation isn’t any better from the previous version but the other improvements made up for it in spades.
CONS: It there was any one nit to pick, I would say that the jacket is too pale in comparison to the screen used wardrobe.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
