Kotobukiya Star Wars prototypes

It's Luke ESB. Notice the belt with blaster, pockets on the jacket, pants.

No. That's the hand he loses. It's not an extra as it can't be pegged on to the arm.

Why include Luke's severed hand? That doesn't make any sense considering it did little more than fly into the air after it was cut off. I don't understand how something like that is supposed to be displayed.

No kidding ? Lukes loses his hand in ESB ? As far as I know, Luke doesn't have three hands so that's why I mentionned GG busts.
I think it could be an extra : you could have "Luke fighting with his lightsaber", or remove his right hand, put the extra one on the floor and then you have "injured Luke" moving back as Vader is approaching. I know it's not movie accurate but it can make it look more dramatic.

it looks like a robotic hand, that's what confuses me, it's got the circuts exposed.

Since Kotobukiya did go with the Leia in slave outfit, any chance they will make a Jabba?

I'm ecstatic. I heard about this Koto Pricess Leia news back in 2005. Everybody thought it was a rumour. We waited and waited and there was no more mention of Koto Leia until now. I'm glad they're making her. It's a fanboy's wish come true. I just hope they don't make her smaller like what Hasbro did with their Unleashed Leia in terms of size with other figures of the series.

It always had me thinking too about how they are going to make Leia. I mean, Koto stuff are usually in pieces, you have to snap fit them together. So, for something like Leia which is almost naked, how'd they hide the snap-fit lines? All previous figures were fully clothed. Except Chewie. I never had a good look at Koto Chewie. How did they hide his joints?

R2 and c-3po look good so far. It could get iffy though on 3po's paint job. I think Luke and leia's facial likenesses are still off. They may look alot better once painted but I doubt it. Koto just struggles so much with human likenesses.
