As a thin figure, he fits into most vehicles with little effort so there is plenty of playability for the youngsters &#8211; who these figures are targeted. For diorama builders, he may serve well as great background filler (as he doesn&#8217;t look much like Luke anyways).<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONS: <\/strong>Despite it being a core character, there really isn&#8217;t anything to really get excited about here as we have received what seems like dozens of X-wing pilot Lukes over the years. The paint\u00a0isn&#8217;t that great, at least on this sample, and the butterscotch hair is once again perplexing. Collectors can definitely pass on it, but for kids, it might scoot\u00a0by as acceptable. He has no weapons which may be a first for a Luke figure, at least as a basic figure release. (Edit: Thanks to JabbaJ for the reminder that the POTJ Luke didn&#8217;t include a weapon either.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/Rebels\/basic\/SL22.html\">Head to the toyguide<\/a>\u00a0for the full\u00a0image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide\u00a0updates resume with the latest\u00a0entry in the\u00a0Saga Legends\/Star Wars Rebels\u00a03-3\/4\u2033 line.
