[JimboUK1979]

Just saw this tweet about an Unproduced luke in Jedi robes figure and wondered if it's real or a hoax as its the first time I've heard or seen this:

Would be great if anyone had any info on this.

You can even spot this figure in some advertising.

here is a link to the swca about this figure.

So is this the origional Luke Jedi or a completely new Luke for the POTF line that never happened?

That was the first sculpt originally planned for the Luke jedi figure, later on they changed it to a sculpt similar to how we know it now, but as you can see, this unpainted hard copy on the left has a straight arm.

after that, they sculpt the figure as we know it now. Here is the protomolded figure from the figure as we know it.

If I remember correctly, this and afew more really rare items were brokered about 12 months ago by Tom Derby. It's a fantastic piece of history, but the price would get you a house in some parts of the country.

Will try and root out the other stuff that was for sale. Others on here have it as well if I can't find it.

Here you go, this was the collection it was from:

http://forum.rebelscum.com/t1101802-1/

Price for the Luke, the bald Emperor and Gargan was a combined $100k but a shedload of other stuff was FS at the same time (DTs, unproduced droids ewoks, RF Fett). No idea if it went for the $100k in the end, but I suspect it did lol ...

Not really the real world for 99.99% of collectors, but nice to see this stuff anyways.

Cheers for the link JS

Its amazing how intriguing this figure is considering he would have been a pile of **** if released (IMO). He would have been right up there with those other L17 freaks, as a kid would you really have wanted Dressing Gown Luke??

It just reminds me of Anakin, Imp Dig and the Emperor, a big moulded lump of plastic that wouldn't fit in any cockpits.

A slimmer but similar (slimilar?) mould with a quality robe and decent saber would have been really cool though... 8)

BTW what's the story with the Luke photobombing the last picture? In a dressing gown and drunk this time :?

Haha yeah I wondered what he was doing on there as well :lol:

Hadn't really thought about it that these could have been dull, shelf hangers like the Dignitary. Had it not been produced, I bet the Dignitary would've looked kinda sexy next to the Luke and Emperor versions, but produced and painted it looks **** ... :roll:

What a strange parallel universe that would be...

Imp Dig looking intriguing to collectors and others just wishing the figure was actually released when they where kids :lol: :lol:

He can't evan hold his saber and it's still the wrong colour. :lol:

 

[TheGent]

He can hold his saber. I put it down to not harm the flesh paint plus he stands in an acrylic tube. :lol:

So is this the origional Luke Jedi or a completely new Luke for the POTF line that never happened?

At one time this was considered to be a unproduced POTF figure and that was the story. However, almost 10 years ago now it was discovered that the figure was shown on a French version of a ROTJ poster along with several other prototype versions of the figures, so that placed it long before POTF and instead an earlier version of Luke Jedi.

Luke in Robes discovery?
