Luke on TaunTaun 4-up Hardcopy Paint Master (463-011)
Here we have one of the most impressive Micro Collection painted 4-ups in existence. The Luke on TaunTaun heralds from the Hoth Turret Defense playset. As one can see from production 1:1 micro, the 4-up's sheer size is breathtaking. It measures 7 1/8" from the base to the TaunTaun's top right ear. The 4-up is entirely handpainted and cast in a green urethane referred to as dynacast. A matching unpainted 4-up can be seen here. Thanks to Jeff Correll for showcasing this wonderful prototype from his impressive array of Micro Collection items.
