Star Wars: The Black Series Figurines

I've been looking at these for a while. Since I don't really have anything else to spend all my savings on, I decided I may as well treat myself and indulge my fangirlism. I bought the Luke Dagobah figure (it seems there is... another version of this also that has Yoda and the backpack, but it was unavailable when I was shopping). Its face sculpt seemed the best out of the ESB Lukes, otherwise I would have got the Bespin Luke. Impressed by the quality, I decided to buy the other two Skywalkers. Leia is TINY next to Vader.

Anyway. I have lots of photos. Lots and lots of photos. Enjoy!

Luke looks kinda snarky in this one 😀

The difference in quality between the Luke and Leia figures is very pronounced. Luke's hair has so much detail and shading, whereas Leia's hair is a solid brown. Luke's hands are also really detailed, you can see the bone shapes! The facial features are painted on really well, though. I do think Leia's figure has more resemblance to Carrie than Luke's does to Mark.

So here are a few poses with Luke. I was surprised at how well it balances in various poses.

I swear I didn't do any editing on the lightsaber in this photo! It does look quite glowy here. I guess I got lucky with the lighting!

I don't know what's going on here. Vader's like "WTH, dude?!" and Leia is...

Leia's figure comes with her sporting blaster from Episode IV, plus a stormtrooper blaster.

It's not pretty under the dress. The joints are pretty ugly, but I guess there isn't any need to expose its legs, so they didn't bother to make it aesthetically pleasing.

And now for Papa Skywalker.

"No, I am your father!"
"Uh, yeah, that's why I call you 'Dad'."

"I have you now!"
"Wait, what?! I'll try spinning -- that's a good trick!"

"Waaaah! Lukie!"
"Too impatient, you are. Learn to trust the Force, you must!"
"Wrong Jedi Master, Dad."
