This is a fantastic figure.  A great sculpt with a tremendous amound of detail in the uniform and the accessories.  Luke has a great face sculpt perhaps one of the best for this character, with a “pilot head sock” to keep him warm.  He is superarticulated, and can grip the lightsaber hilt and the grappling hook gun in both hands well.  The figure is sturdy, and can stand without any problem.  The paint is excellent, with a few details to break up the gray and orange jumpsuit.  The grappling hook is neat, although a little odd.  I’m not 100 percent sure how the string is meant to attach, but I kind of tied it to the little buckle at the end of the cable that comes out the rear of the gun.
This figure is nearly perfect, which makes it all the more frustrating because it would have been easy to make this a definitive version of this figure, and get a perfect score of 10.  First, the saber hilt has a peg, but unfortunately, does not have a peg hole in Luke’s belt.  Secondly, Luke doesn’t come with a full lightsaber, which is an important part of the scene this figure fits in.  He also would benefit from coming with a grenade or mine accessory to toss into the open hatch he revealed with the lightsaber.  Finally, I think the grappling hook could be a little more play-friendly.  Perhaps the string should go through the barrel of the gun, so that you could kind of slide Luke up the rope.  These are all minor, but as I said, would have guaranteed this figure a perfect score and made it the absolute definitive version of the character.  As it is, it’s an awesome figure anyway.
