The hero of the Rebellion! Luke Skywalker, the last of the Jedi (kind of)! I know the Black Series have been around for a while, but hey, they're awesome, so I'm going to talk about them.
The Black Series figures from Hasbro are pretty much the Star Wars toys I've been waiting for. I mean look at Luke!
6 inches and fully articulated, the Black Series figures are just superb. The first Luke in the series comes in his flight suit, ready to pilot his X-Wing for the Rebellion against the evil Empire . The flight suit is brilliantly painted with neat detailing on the chest area, and the head sculpt is a great likeness to Mark Hamill.
For me though, the real highlight of this particular figure is the accessories. Luke comes with signature blaster, flight helmet - which has a brilliantly weathered, almost battle damage look to it, is movie accurate with the insignia painted on and is a good fit - and of course, his lightsaber. The really nice thing about the lightsaber is that the blade is removable meaning it can hang on his belt, which I personally think is a stroke of genius on Hasbro's part and looks bad ass. You can of course have the blade attached and have Luke ready for a fight!
The articulation on this figure means that you can get him in some nice poses, and he stands really well, no real balance issues that I found.
All in, I'd say if you're a Star Wars and toy fan, these are a must.
Stay tuned for more Hasbro Star Wars Black Series figures! Go Figure!
