Hot Toys is returning to a fan-favorite Star Wars Legends timeline as they debut their latest 1/6 scale figure. Inspired by the Star Wars: Dark Empire comic series, Luke Skywalker has arrived and is featured in his Dark Empire attire. Six years have passed since The Return of the Jedi, and now the Empire is back along with the Emperor himself. Hot Toys is now capturing the legacy of the Dark Empire comic series from Dark Horse, as Luke has bowed to the dark side. Two versions of Luke will be offered to Star Wars collectors with a Standard and an Artisan Edition, which will feature a more realistic rooted hair sculpt.
However, the Artisan Edition will be a Hot Toys Exclusive and will be available in limited quantities of 3,500. Both figures are works of art, and they will both feature a green lightsaber-wielding Luke in a new outfit with a slick new black cape, a Vader-inspired belt, and a rolling eyeball feature. How far will Luke Skywalker go to save his friends from this new threat, only you can decide. Pre-orders are not live for the Star Wars: Dark Empire Luke Skywalker yet, but fans can RSVP right on Sideshow Collectibles. May the 4th be with you.
