Original Wax Sculpting for Micro Bacta Luke Figure: The large piece you see on the left of this photo is an original sculpting for the Luke in diaper figure, a piece that was intended for the never-released Micro Collection Hoth Bacta Chamber playset. When comparing it to the 1:1 production-stage figure to its right, you'll notice that the right arms of the two figures don't exactly match up: the arm of the wax juts out from the hip while that of the metal figure hugs the leg more closely. Consequently, the right arm of the metal figure is bent at a tighter angle than is that of the wax. It's possible that this wax represents an alternate sculpt rather than the one used to generate the metal figure. It was quite normal for Kenner sculptors to make several versions of figures they were working on.
