Rebelscum.com: Luke Skywalker 12-inch Figure From Hasbro

LUKE SKYWALKER

12-Inch Figure

After several years without releasing Star Wars products in the 12-inch figure scale, Hasbro returned to the format in 2012 with limited articulation, all-plastic figures which featured a lower price point and few, if any, accessories.

The Hasbro 2013 12-inch Luke Skywalker figure was among the first newly sculpted figures released in this scale which was not simply a repackaged figure from the previous year. The packaging graphics matched the reaching/crawling Darth Vader motif which was emblazoned across the brand that year. This was the final packaging design before the Rebels animated series graphics debuted internationally in 2014. First announced at the 2013 International Toy Fair in New York City, the Luke Skywalker 12-inch figure was released in the U.S. in the early Summer of that same year for a suggested retail price of $9.99. Points of articulation include swivel joints at the neck, hips, wrists, and shoulders. The hilt of Luke's lightsaber is molded to the figure's right-hand, and features a removable transparent green lightsaber blade.
