Luke Skywalker Unpainted 4-up Hardcopy (258-001)
Showcased here is an unpainted Luke Skywalker 4-up. This particular pose, referred to as the "missing hand" poses, is designated by the number 258-001. The first three digits represent the Bespin Gantry playset, while the last three indicate the particular character/pose. This 4-up is cast in a green urethane referred to as dynacast. Dynacast was the material most frequently used casting material for Micro Collection 4-ups.

The final photo above shows the back of the 4-up. Tommy included a 1:1 production Micro figure to illustrate the impressive size of the 4-up. The immense size makes 4-ups incredibly attractive for display purposes. As such, they are highly coveted by both pre-production and Micro collectors.
