Description:
One of Kenner's first two releases in their series of 12" scale Star Wars figures (the other was the 12" rendition of Princess Leia), the Luke Skywalker Large Size Action Figure featured a nicely-sculpted head and a pretty accurate outfit. The figure came with a rather lame grappling hook accessory, as well as a blue lightsaber. The latter accessory has boggled the collecting senses of more than a few hobbiests, due to the fact that the 3 3/4" version of Luke came with a yellow saber. (In the 3 3/4" line, it was Ben Kenobi who packed the blue weapon.)

Like most of the pieces in the 12" line, Luke fetches a hefty price in boxed, unused condition. Loose, however, the figure is readily available, though the grappling hook is often missing.

First Issued: 1978 (SW packaging)
Re-issues: None
