Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited promotional item, it exclusively appears in only two specific sets related to the Dagobah training scenes, making it less common than standard Lukes.
Head
Double-sided light flesh head with brown eyebrows and pupils. One side depicts a determined/focused expression with a closed mouth; the other side shows a gritted teeth/straining expression with sweat drops, reflecting his efforts during Jedi training.
Torso
Light flesh arms and hands. Tan torso printed with a ribbed sleeveless tank top design, showing muscular definition and dirt smudges. The back continues the tank top pattern and muscle lines.
Legs
Tan legs with dark tan hip piece. Printing includes cargo pocket details on the thighs and a belt line at the waist. No side or back printing on the legs.
Accessories
Typically comes with a blue lightsaber and a green 1x1 round plate representing a Yoda-focused training element or is paired with a brick-built Yoda backpack (in set 75208). Image shows the figure alone.
Color Scheme
A neutral palette of Tan, Light Flesh, and Dark Tan. This Earth-tone scheme is designed to match the swampy environment of Dagobah and the 'lived-in' look of the original trilogy.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The torso features fine lines to indicate fabric texture. The sweat droplets on the alternate face are a specific detail highlighting the intensity of the scene.
Variants
This specific 2020 version (sw1105) is an update of the older 'sw0907' from 2018. The main difference lies in more refined facial printing and subtle changes to the torso muscle definition.
Condition Notes
Prone to hairline cracks on the sides of the torso (under the arms) over time. Check the tan leg printing for scratches, as light colors show wear more easily than dark ones.
Estimated Value
Used: $6.00 - $9.00 USD; New: $10.00 - $14.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the secondary market demand for Dagobah-themed MOCs (My Own Creations).
Price (New)
Contained in sets ranging from $24.99 (75208) to $79.99 (75285). Not sold as a standalone figure.
Compatible Sets
75208 Yoda's Hut (2018) and 75285 (associated with the 2020 advent or specific Dagobah dioramas).
Character Background
Represents Luke Skywalker during his arduous training with Grand Master Yoda on the swamp world of Dagobah in 'Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back'.
Design Notes
Significant because it uses 'flesh' tones to represent a shirtless/tank-top look, departing from the 'Yellow' skin era. The hair piece is the standard 'shaggy' mold used for Luke since the mid-2000s.
Similar Minifigures
Luke Skywalker sw0907 (earlier version), Yoda sw0906, and Luke Skywalker sw1102 (Bespin Fatigues).
Collectibility
High demand for fans of the Original Trilogy and those building 'Master Builder Series' or diorama collections. It is a 'niche' Luke variant required for a complete character run.
History
Luke in his training gear was first seen in the early 2000s as a yellow-skinned figure. This 2020 iteration represents the peak of modern printing for this specific costume.
Interesting Facts
This specific facial print was designed to look like actor Mark Hamill's expressions during the 'Force levitation' scenes. It is one of the few Luke figures to feature visible sweat on the face.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed next to a Yoda minifigure or inside a Dagobah Swamp MOC. Ideal for a 'Life of Luke' evolution frame.
Modification Potential
The tan legs are highly versatile for custom military or adventure minifigures. The head is often used by customizers to represent other characters in high-stress situations.
Overall Assessment
An excellent, screen-accurate figure. While not the most expensive Luke variant, its specific expressions and unique torso make it a standout for fans of the Dagobah arc. Rating: 8/10.
