Micro Collection Unproduced Luke from Bacta Chamber (With Painted Repro): This figure of Luke in his underwear was to be included with the Micro Collection's Hoth Bacta Chamber, along with C3PO , FX-7 and 2-1b. Sculpted in a prone position, one would have been able to suspend Luke from the tank's working crane into the chamber below where, one presumes, he could dutifully be observed by his droid servants.

The lower of the above two figures is a painted reproduction, included here for comparison. Though genuine painted versions of these figures have turned up, the naked metal of the prototype Luke figure really helps bring to light the smooth contours and subtle detail achieved by the sculptors working at this time.
