This figure is a straight repack of the one that came in the SDCC ‘19 TVC Jedi Destiny Special Set.  The only intentional difference is that the imperial blaster has an additional silver paint detail on the back end, which is absent in the first release.  That’s it.  As for packaging, this release drops “Disguise” from the parenthetical sub name in the name pill, which was part of the figure’s name in the aforementioned SDCC set. 

Note that the diorama shots above, just like the review below, are lifted from the Jedi Destiny Set.

Original Review by Chris 7/27/19

Once again, you are very familiar with the base figure which dates its ancestry all the way back to 2004’s VOTC Stormtrooper, but it is most closely related to the updates in 2010’s VC41 - Stormtrooper, specifically the ball jointed hips.  This Luke Stormtrooper also utilizes the vastly superior removable helmet that was first seen with the recent VC143 - Han Solo (Stormtrooper).  Unfortunately this tooling reuse means that the hateful, brutally rigid, and restrictively posed hands are present.

So that’s the same, but there’s some new to this figure.  First and foremost, it’s been retooled to be shorter.  It appears this was achieved via the torso.  It works to make Luke shorter than Han, but does leave the figure with proportions that are a little wonky since the waist falls at the exact same height on both the Han and Luke Stormtrooper disguise figures.  The other new thing is the belt.  It features the comlink that Luke uses to tell 3PO to tell R2 to shut down the all the garbage smashers on the detention level in a high stakes game of “telephone.”  This feature also appeared on the TK-421 figure included in the Imperial Scanning Crew set.  Unlike that TK-421, the comlink does not appear to be removable.  Either that or my sample is stuck in place with paint.  I didn’t want to force it and break my figure as I did with one of the other ones in this set.  A second change is that the grenade on the back of the belt is gone.  Instead, the grappling hook that Luke uses when he’s playing Death Star Escape is represented.  That’s a neat and specific nod.

The final and, in my opinion, biggest change is a new and much better working holster.  The old holster on the VOTC based Stormtoopers was difficult to use and required a cross draw holstering.  This one functions much better and facilitates a normal (and more natural) draw.  Hmmmm…a holster is one of the two things that the awesome Rogue One based VC140 - Stormtrooper needs to become OT accurate, and Hasbro just tooled a new Stormtrooper holster.  Hmmmm.  Hey Hasbro,

Due to the limitations mentioned above with the dated arm sculpt, this figure earns an 8 out of 10.
