Black Series Luke in Stormtrooper Disguise Gallery

Posted on July 22, 2015 at 12:00 pm by Tony_Bacala under Random Photo Shoot, Star Wars Toy News

The Toyark’s Star Wars Black Series Wave 8 catch up galleries conclude today with Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper Disguise! He is a little short for a Stormtrooper, and that’s because it isn’t the standard Stormtrooper body with a new head – they did give us a new mold to keep in line with Han in his Trooper get up. We’ve run the third Black Series 6 Inch Luke (of 4 released, 5 total) through the motions, check him out after the break courtesy of site sponsor Entertainment Earth!

Star Wars Black Series Luke in Stormtrooper Disguise

Pros
New body, shorter
Head sculpt keeps Ep IV look
Removeable Trooper helmet

Cons
None

Overall
This is yet another iconic look from an iconic movie – the fact he’s done up a bit shorter and that there is a Han Solo version released close to this makes it an easier pill to swallow. The body is new, featuring the rear retractable grappling hook molded into the belt, and of course the height. Coupled up with Chewie and R2, that Death Star scene can pop on your shelves. Hopefully we get a 3PO and White robe Leia soon to complete the set! Check out some key shots below and the full gallery after that!

    Running catch up on Black Series waves. Botcon, July 4th, SDCC, TFCon etc delayed my shoots. Doing Waves 8 & 9 plus the Wampa this week. First up is the Clone Captain!

    I remember the second clone trooper toy that I got was the original captain figure, the one with the missile launching turret, glittery looking gun, and a piece of angled rock for dynamic poses. I don't get any PT figures for my small 6" collection, but this one is one of the cool looking ones.

    I wish Hasbro would release the Phase 1 officers in 3.75 inch scale on the same buck they used for the Vintage Collection Phase I Clones. They did release the Lieutenant in the Vintage Collection and I believe they used the buck for the Black Series Sergeant, but they never released the Captain or Commander which is a shame because I would love to army build Phase 1 Clones but I don't have the funds or space to do it with the 6" figures. I do love the 6" ones though. Great figure, and they usually do a good job with the deco.

    They also need to re release the 3.75 inch Private that used that buck, they go for like $20+ loose. Same price as the 6" version. Not exactly ideal.

    Anyways, great photos!

    Yes, great shots again.

    Those clone helmets have always seemed 'wrong' to me. I love the original Stormtrooper design. Looking at these, it's as if somebody took a regular trooper and force-fed him an entire bottle of lemon juice, causing his helmet mouthpiece to pucker up cartoon-style. It just has that silly quality for me, so consequently, I never felt any inclination to collect clones.

    My preference would be more variants of the original design, like a 6" Snowtrooper, Spacetrooper, etc., with different colors and markings for the command structure. We've seen a bit of that already with the Sandtrooper. That said, there should be clear limits. This is Star Wars, not Iron Man.

    The Black series still exists? I thought Hasbro canned it considering none of my stores have had anything on their shelves for 6 months now. Hell, Target's entire Star Wars section has been barren since Xmas. TRU has only had 5 prequel Obiwans and 4 slave Leias that have been collecting dust since then too.

    I would have agreed with that statement. Target however has been getting in a fresh influx of Black Series pieces, as have Walmart in the last few weeks. Be patient and diligent, they're coming.

    Thanks Joe. This is one of my favs from 2015 waves. He just looks evil as shit with Vader.

    What would be cool is to grab one of those diorama pieces coming with the Figuarts figures. Would make a great display for Vader, Luke and the Emperor.

    LOVE that group shot with the troopers!

    I agree re: the clever Figuarts background prop. With patience, you might find one loose in the secondary market.

    (Addendum: Confirmed. Run a search for "Figuarts Star Wars Darth Vader LIMITED DEATH STAR DISPLAY STAND ONLY.")

    Asia has a long tradition of mini-dioramas for sculpture, but it's rare in modern action figure culture, except for promotional display props at conventions. More than once, I've approached a vendor to ask for a price for some gorgeous, fantastic background display piece, only to be told "Not For Sale."

    for me it's the fin. take off the fin and it improves the look drastically. with the fin clones don't look menacing at all. see what I did there?

    oh, and gorgeous pics as per usual.

    Ah yes, those derpy fins. It's strange how many of the first designs were so inspired. I don't know about you, but from my reading of recent articles, I sense that Abrams wants to minimize derpitude.

    Great shots of Palpatine! I don't have Black Series Luke or Vader because they never showed up in my area, but once I find a good looking 6" scale throne for Palpatine I intend on putting him on the stand that came with SHF Vader.

    I appreciate the photo of the three Lukes standing side-by-side, for comparison purposes. Note the unique face sculpt for ROTJ. I understand that Mark Hamill was in a car accident prior to ROTJ, and suspect the bangs might be combed straight down to cover scars. Poor guy. He seems to have recovered well, so naturally we're all glad for that. Really, they're all very good and complimentary sculpts. My favorite is the Pilot version.

    That figure looks rad.

    Technically the IG-88 3.75" toy from the 30th anniversary line's Vintage collection had a lot of pose, just in a smaller package. IG-88 has always perplexed me, I generally like him but how much has been shifting back and forth for a long time. On one hand he is one of the bounty hunters from Empire Strikes Back and he has some neat gadgets, on the other hand he looks very impractical since he's a stick.

    But on cody does anyone else have a problem with the ball joint for the head??? Mines got that issue where it seems the joint is too big, like when I move the head at all it just pops right off

    I like the Boushh Leia a lot. I display the detonator on her belt but I would suggest plugging it into her thumb if anyone intends to display her in negotiating mode, otherwise it's too loose just sitting in her hand.

  25. Tony_Bacala's Avatar Tony_Bacala says

    07-25-2015, 01:11 PM

    I think the Boushh Leia is solid too. Really what I want is Ep IV white robe Leia, and 3PO. Then I'll be content.
