Classic Kenner Photo Archive: The Empire Strikes Back Luke Skywalker (Bespin Fatigues)

Posted by D. Martin on October 13, 2003 at 12:00 AM CST

Added today to the classic Kenner Photo Archive is a figure that marked a new age of sculpted detail awareness. When Kenner released new figures on The Empire Strikes Back 31 back cards, they offered better, more accurate sculpts, and in the case of the Luke Skywalker (Bespin Fatigues) figure a new much improved –though still incorrectly coloured- Lightsaber. Gone was the eternally classic, however ill conceived, telescoping blade with the little tip that seemed to be designed strictly to break off and annoy. This figure, and the assortment in which it was released, is the real reason there are still Star Wars action figures on the shelf. To the casual observer these figures may seem lack luster, but to the original Star Wars Generation they were the best example of hyper detailing.
