"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 Dark Guyver III Action Figure- Max Factory Guyver Bio Fighter Collection 09 Review

Written by Jax Pics Courtesy of Donnay The packaging for the  Gigantic Dark Guyver  is as shown. Box art looks great, and all the accessories can be seen through the clear display window. The   Gigantic Dark Guyver   comes with GigaSmasher changeable part, Gravity ram (long and short), Two interchangeable heads, one with sonic orbs closed and one open, three high frequency swords for each arm, interchangeable wrist parts (fist, grab, and hold), and an improved display stand (more on this) After spending about 10 mins untying all the wiring binding the Gigantic Dark Figure, he is finally released from his plastic prison and ready for action! But first let me point out a personal experience I had with the Gigantic Dark Guyver's High Frequency Blades. Everyone should take note of this. The three blades on the arm work this way. The longest and second longest blades have holes on the ends of the blades it self. On the arms there are corresponding pegs whe...

Guyver Figure- Guyver III Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection 01 Review

Written By Jax. Pics Courtesy of Donnay The Guyver Figures from the Max Factory Bio Fighter Collection are one of the coolest toy figures I have ever came across. The  Guyver III Bio Fighter Collection Series 01 (Max Factory)  is the first figure of this series. Lets review it point by point: Packaging: I personally love the packaging for this series. The outer layer is a transparent box which offers protection for the second layer. The second layer is the packaging which houses the plastic covers that sandwiches the Guyver III within it. It really looks good on display with all the printouts of the images of the toy itself, as well as display of the arsenal of interchangable arms and blades(more on this later). What is best is that you do not need to make any cuts or tears to the box in order to get the toy out. This means that if at any point you do not want to display the  Guyver III  figure any more, you can just pack it back in to the box just l...
