Force fact:
This figure was included in the Early Bird Set but made its first carded appearance on the Star Wars 12 back card.

The original Double Telescoping Lightsaber plastic weapon would pop and rise from the hollow arm of each figure then a thinner piece would pop out. However these figures proved difficult to manufacture and also breaks easily thus it was cut from production by the time the second wave of star wars was released.

Variations: Luke Skywalker figure has more variations than most other figures in the vintage line. The major variations are the color options on the figure’s head. This figure is mostly available with yellow hair, but also shipped with dark brown hair (primarily in North America) and light brown hair (primarily in Europe) as well as the ultra rare ESB release of the orange hair version.
