Product Description
The vivid imagination of conceptual artist Ralph McQuarrie brought to life the characters and worlds envisioned by George Lucas. McQuarrie's paintings and drawings were instrumental in the push to bring Lucas's saga to the big screen, giving shape and form to a multitude of fantastic individuals, creatures, planets and technology encompassed in this epic tale. Developed in collaboration with McQuarrie himself, this remarkable action figure series pays tribute to the man whose art defined some of the most memorable characters in film history. This amazing Ralph McQuarrie original concept figure of Luke Skywalker commemorates 30 years of the epic space fantasy. Figure features detailed styling and comes with a blaster, lightsaber and an exclusive collector coin.

Alternate Realities can be fun, or, How Star Wars "might have been" August 7, 2007
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
This product: funky alternatives! Early version of Luke before filming for Star Wars even begin as designed by Ralph Mcquarrie.
Apparently in very early versions of Star Wars Luke was a girl! Leia Starkiller. Then the twin idea formed. Anyway, unlike other early McQuarrie paintings, in the duel between Luke and Darth Vader Luke is definitely a male (and slightly resembles Flash Gordon, a huge influence on the Star Wars story).
This figure is the counterpart to the McQuarrie Darth Vader which will come out soon.
In General: Back in the early 80's my brother bought a Ralph Mcquarrie "Star Wars" "Portfolio" with "Letterbox" style pre-production paintings for the "first" "Star Wars" film. I remember how my imagination ran wild with the "alternate" versions of all the main characters. I especially dug the Luke vs. Darth Vader painting where Vader had this very wolf-like mask where the top helmet was much more Samurai looking and the mouth grill came out like the snout of a wolf (an Luke looked cool with the oxygen mask too).
The Stormtroopers looked cooler too, and they had light sabers! and shields!
And the painting of the two droids was cool because R2 looked much more expressive and functional, and 3PO looked just like the robot from "Metropolis".
Anyway, someone, somewhere, had the brilliant idea to actually make action figures based on these early pre-production paintings by McQuarrie!
I've managed to purchase the first 8 of the 12 thus far (Stormtrooper, Boba Fett, Luke, C-3PO and R2-D2, Chewbacca, & Ben Kenobi and Yoda) and look forward to the final 4 (Leia Starkiller, Han [George Lucas] Solo, Snowtrooper, and the one I've been wanting since around 1980: McQuarrie Darth Vader!).
Bottom line, amazing sculpts, genius idea, a must have for die-hard SW fans!
