The farm boy turned Rebel hero continued his journey in The Vintage Collection in 2011 as part of Wave 5. Representing Luke Skywalker during the frantic breakout from the Death Star in A New Hope, this figure captures his look after shedding the Stormtrooper disguise but before the final battle at Yavin. It provided a definitive, super-articulated version of the "Tatooine" tunic look, but with the sweat and grit of a high-stakes rescue mission aboard an Imperial battle station.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Rescuer Silhouette: The sculpt features Luke in his classic moisture-farmer tunic, but refined with modern proportions and deeper fabric texturing. The separate, soft-plastic belt and holster system sit naturally on the hips, allowing for a more dynamic "action hero" profile compared to earlier, more static releases.
• Deco & Likeness: The 2011 release features a hand-painted application that captures Mark Hamill’s youthful, determined expression. The tunic is finished in a screen-accurate off-white with subtle gray shading in the folds, while the hair is rendered in a sandy-blonde matte finish to simulate the dust of the Death Star corridors.
• Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The "rocker" ankles and ball-jointed torso are essential for this figure, allowing Luke to lean into a desperate "swing" pose or take cover behind a blast door.
• Display Utility: This is the mandatory "hero" for any Death Star Corridor or Trash Compactor diorama. He is best positioned alongside Han Solo (VC03) and Princess Leia (VC02) as they make their break for the Millennium Falcon.

Accessories & Equipment

Luke Skywalker comes prepared for a narrow escape from the Empire. He includes his signature blue lightsaber (lit) and a removable hilt that can be pegged into his belt. He also carries a DH-17 blaster pistol, the standard weapon he commandeered during the rescue. A standout feature of the 2011 release is the grappling hook and cable; the figure includes the essential tool used to swing across the Death Star chasm with Princess Leia. The belt also features a removable comm-link, allowing collectors to recreate the iconic "shut down all the trash mashers" moment.
