"I am a Jedi, like my father before me." - Hot Toys Star Wars Luke Skywalker Return of The Jedi Sixth Scale Toy Review

Here is the Hot Toys Luke Skywalker Star Wars Return of the Jedi version featuring Luke's lightsaber in green. Overall facial sculpt is exactly what you would expect of Hot Toys which is very experienced in replicating the likeness of the characters that their Star Wars toys are based on.



 Darth Vader:" You are unwise to lower your defenses!"


Darth Vader: Give yourself to the dark side. It is the only way you can save your friends. Yes, your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for... [pauses] Sister. So, you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her too. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps she will.

 Luke Skywalker: [revealing himself] NEVER!






The Hot Toys Luke Skywalker Sixth Scale figure comes with a green lightsaber as featured in the Return of the Jedi ROTJ movie. Luke skywalker lost his original blue light saber when his hand was severed during his fight with Darth Vader where he famously revealed to Luke that he was his father. Luke eventually constructed a new lightsaber but why was it green instead of blue?


There are many theories regarding why Luke's lightsaber was changed from blue to green colour. The first theory was that the sky of Tatooine was blue and having a blue lightsaber against a blue sky made it hard for the lightsaber to stand out, hence the change to green

Another theory was that because constructing a lightsaber required kyber crystals and these were not easy to find. So the only way to do it was to construct it from an old lightsaber which belonged to Qui Gon Jin.

A third theory states that because a scene from Return of the Jedi featuring Luke Skywalker constructing his new lightsaber was cut, George Lucas was worried that audiences may not understand that Luke's lightsaber was not the same one that he used when he dueled Darth Vader on Cloud City. Hence, there was a need to make a distinction in terms of colour.



Emperor Palpatine: Welcome, young Skywalker, I have been expecting you. You no longer need those. [uses the Force to detach Luke's cuffs] Guards, leave us. [the Emperor's guards leave the room] I'm looking forward to completing your training. In time, you will call me "Master".

Luke Skywalker: You're gravely mistaken. You won't convert me as you did my father.

Emperor Palpatine: Oh no, my young Jedi. You will find that it is you who are mistaken, about a great many things



Emperor Palpatine: Good, I can feel your anger. I am unarmed. Take your weapon. Strike me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!


This is a great figure and a must have to pair up with the Hot Toys Darth Vader for many amazing battles.





Darth Vader: I see you have constructed a new lightsaber. Your skills are complete. Indeed you are powerful, as the Emperor has foreseen. [turns off the lightsaber again]

Luke Skywalker: Come with me!

Darth Vader: Obi-Wan once thought as you do. You don't know the power of the Dark Side! I must obey my master.

Luke Skywalker: I will not turn. And you'll be forced to kill me.

 Darth Vader: If that is your destiny.

Luke Skywalker: Search your feelings, father. You can't do this. I feel the conflict within you!

 Darth Vader: There is no conflict.

Luke Skywalker: Let go of your hate!

Darth Vader: It is... too late for me, son. The Emperor will show you the true nature of the Force. He is your master now.

Luke Skywalker: [resigned] Then my father is truly dead.


Luke Skywalker: [looks at Vader's severed hand, then turns to face the Emperor, throwing away his lightsaber] Never. I'll never turn to the Dark Side. You have failed, Your Highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me.

Emperor Palpatine: [angrily] So be it... Jedi.

Toy Review: Max Factory Figma Guyver I Figure vs Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection Guyver I Figure

I have been a collector of the Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection Guyver figures for many years now and it was only recently that the Figma Guyver I  came to my attention. Even though I have seen pictures of the Figma Guyver I figure for a while, I had always thought that it was just a scaled down version of the previous Bio Fighter Collection Guyver I figure. It turns out that I was wrong and there are many differences between the old and new Guyver figure and the  Figma Guyver I   could be a good start to a promising toy line. In terms of scale, the Figma Guyver I figure is smaller than the BFC Guyver I figure but the differences do not stop here. Articulation and paint job wise, the Figma version is fantastic and even more articulated than the BFC version. For example, the Figma Guyver I can actually perform a high kick and a split which the BFC Guyver I is not able to, due to the very hard rubber located near the waist. Also, you can switch o...

Gigantic Guyver Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 10 Review

Written By Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay Packaging for  Maxfactory Bio Fighter Collection 10 Gigantic Guyver Figure  is the same as that of the previous Gigantic Dark Guyver Figure . There are openings on the side of the package so that you can see the accessories more clearly. I guess the only reason for doing that is to tempt collectors more : ) Despite his size, the  Gigantic Guyver  is super articulated. Joints at the elbows allow for bending more then 90 degrees. The green gravitational boosters on the body are translucent and looks as if they are pulsating with energy. Once again, Max Factory has impressed me with the details on the  Gigantic Guyver's  face. No paint bleeding of any sort can be seen. All the details on the face are captured. The head can not only tilt downwards as in previous figures.  Gigantic Dark Guyver  and Gigantic Guyver can both tilt their heads upwards by around 45 degrees, opening up new possibi...

Toy Review: Bandai Tamashii Nations S.H. Figuarts Piccolo Dragonball Z Action Figure

The S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure is a fantastic figure at a fantastic price. First released in Novemeber 2009, this figure had a recommended retail price of USD$45. Surprisingly, this beautiful  S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure   and can still be found on  Amazon.com   at a very reasonably $35 dollars at the point of writing. Looking closely at the  S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure , you can tell that Bandai did a fantastic job and they really captured the feel of Piccolo very well. The figure itself stands at around 170mm and comes with many accessories that you can mix and match, making it a very fun figure to have. He comes with interchangeable hands, face and his iconic costume with turban and cape.  Also, I think Piccolo looks very nice with folded arms which is also included. The  S.H Figuarts Piccolo figure   is very articulated and the joints are smooth, making posing easy.  A small regret is that the  S.H Fig...
