Hasbro Star Wars Original Trilogy Luke Skywalker (Handstand Version) and Yoda

Wussup collectors!!

Want to share with you what i got last week from my neighborhood toy store, Toyzone. I was browsing through the Star Wars section because the owner, Lord Riza, advised everyone on the Order 66 SITH blackberry group to come and check out some new items.

Well, Lord Riza delivered once again.. because i found this:

Hasbro Star Wars Original Trilogy Collection Luke Skywalker (Handstand Version)



..and i also found this loose set in near-mint condition, Hasbro Star Wars Original Trilogy Collection Yoda (Dagobah Training)



Why near-mint? Because it's missing the backpack that Luke can use to carry Yoda around in Dagobah while training to be a Jedi, just like in the scene.

To complete the Dagobah Training set, i'm missing the Spirit Obi-wan (2nd from left in image below) and the R2-D2 (far left). They all come with inter-connecting the Dagobah piece-of-land base you see in the image below, and i hear there's a Darth Vader with releasable head to reveal Luke's face. Creepy, i know.. but that was one of ESB's greatest scenes nonetheless.



Anyways, 2 out 4 figures to start with ain't bad =) So let's check out what i got..



Luke comes with a "handstand head" with hair facing down for that gravitational effect, and a set of handstand arms that can be exchanged with a regular head and a set of "backpacking arms". Besides those, the package also come with dagobah "land" base and a backpack strap.

Yoda comes with dagobah "land" base and cane. Originally it came with a backpack that Luke can use to carry Yoda around, but it's missing as i've explained above. If it wasn't missing, the backpack can be "attached" to Luke's backpack strap.

Check out the images below to see what i came up with after opening the package and connecting Luke's set with Yoda's..

Handstand version


Push-up version


Backpacking version




Surprisingly, the backpacking version is similar to a more realistic and more popular statue product from Sideshow.. naah, kidding. I'm really pushing this =D But see the picture below and you'll get my point.



So that's that. All those great poses from just two sets of figures. I leave you with one last pic of everything you see above, keep on collecting, and as Master Yoda would say: "Do or do not. There is no try".
