12 inch Luke Jedi Knight

[jpak001]

I just scored a Jedi Luke from the FAO 2pack for super cheap ($5). What a steal!

Only thing is, he's missing his cloak. I was just wondering if anyone here has done a custom, or knows of any other alternative. I was thinking about making one from a Palpatine robe, but the texture is all wrong... I really want him to have a cloak!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hmm, are you sure it's the Luke from the FAO 2-Pack? The Luke: Jedi was re-issued later in the basic 12" line, without his cloak. He also came with a bone and a glow in the dark lightsaber. If I recall correctly.

MTFBWY and HH!!

I believe that was one of the few 12" figures I took a pass on, the reissued 12" Jedi Luke that is. The last time I saw the figure, it was clearanced for around $5, but the box was so badly damaged, I took a pass on it. Besides, I did have the Jedi/Bib FAO two pack already. If it is the reissue jpak001, at least you didn't pay a lot for it.

Naw, it's definitely the FAO version. He's got the dark hair and clear saber. I actually had the single version at one point and just wasn't happy with it (mainly because of the stupid glow saber). Ended up selling it off with about a million other toys!

I was really happy to score him for such a great price even though he's missing the cloak! I also scored a loose 12" Sebulba for $10. I was really stoked about that too!

Hmm, that's tough, the FAO version's cloak is pretty unique. Maybe try sewing one from the 12" Maul's cloak, that's all I can think of.

You mean green saber?

From time to time these things pop up on eBay so if your not in a hurry to get his cloak you could just keep checking.

what you can do is get an extra episode 1 obi-wan robe, dye it black and remove the sleeves and sew up the holes. presto! you have luke's ROTJ cloak.

i have not done this myself, but have seen one that been altered like this, and it looked really good.http://www.rebelscum.com/photo.asp?i...kejedicape.jpg

also, you could get an episode 1 qui-gon robe, remove the sleeves, don't sew them, and boom!, an episode 2 anakin robe!

Oh yeah, I meant the clear green saber. Thanks for the suggestions guys! My best bet would probably be trying to customize a Ep1 robe (since you can still find those figs for pretty cheap).

I thought the robe was dark brown.

If you're not a stickler for details, you can easily make a robe. If I remember correctly, Luke's ROJ robe didn't have sleeves.

Right, it was a cloak...with a hood.
