Han Solo & Greedo (Cantina Showdown 2-Pack) — Star Wars The Black Series

Overview

The Han Solo & Greedo Cantina Showdown 2-Pack is a 2014 Toys’R’Us exclusive in the Phase 2 Blue Line, priced at $39.99. It pairs the two principals of A New Hope’s most debated scene — the Mos Eisley cantina confrontation — in a dedicated two-pack with a cardboard cantina backdrop. Both figures are re-releases of their respective single-card basic assortment releases with only subtle unintentional paint differences. The packaging includes a cardboard backdrop, table, and chairs. Han Solo is described as a fantastic figure that should not be missing from any 6” collection. Greedo is equally well-executed.

The set’s honest critique: Hasbro missed an opportunity by including only cardboard furniture rather than plastic cantina pieces — chairs, tables, bar sections, glasses — that would have given the set genuine diorama value. The cardboard chairs and table are very flimsy and don’t make for good display pieces.

Han Solo

Han is in his A New Hope Yavin outfit — the most iconic Han Solo configuration, the one from the cantina scene itself.

19 joints. Standard Phase 2 articulation.

Seven accessories — the most accessory-rich Han Solo in the Blue Line:

Blaster — fits incredibly well into Han’s right hand with the finger sitting right on top of the trigger. The blaster fits very nicely into the holster.

Removable belt — Han’s signature gunfighter belt. Can be swapped with the included Stormtrooper belt for the Death Star infiltration display configuration.

Stormtrooper blaster — the Death Star blaster fits well in both hands and into its holster.

Stormtrooper belt — interchangeable with Han’s regular belt.

Removable plastic vest — Han’s sleeveless vest.

Two interchangeable hands — normal hands for standard display, gloved pilot hands for the Yavin X-Wing configuration. Hand swap is the standout engineering addition over the single-card release.

One specific flaw: this version of Han has a part number imprint in bright brown on the back of the left thigh which the original single-card figure didn’t have. It’s an ugly detail that’s immediately visible from the back. Aware of it before you buy.

The figure captures the likeness of Harrison Ford very well and presented no major balancing issues.

Greedo

19 joints. Standard Phase 2 articulation.

Three accessories:

Blaster — a fantastic fit for Greedo’s right hand with the finger sitting right on the trigger. The holster is the perfect size for Greedo’s blaster. Better weapon-to-hand engineering than most Phase 2 figures.

Orange vest — removable. No blast mark underneath — a note for collectors expecting the post-confrontation detail. The vest slips off cleanly.

Removable belt with holster — its own piece that hangs nicely on the figure and can be unplugged at the front and removed entirely.

The figure is sculpted beautifully with well-hidden joints, subtle dirt weathering throughout the outfit, and no balancing issues.

The Cardboard Problem

The set includes a cardboard backdrop of the Mos Eisley Cantina interior along with cardboard chairs and a table. The backdrop is secured with a lot of tape which makes it very difficult to remove without damage. The cardboard chairs and table are very flimsy and don’t make for good display pieces. This is the set’s most significant missed opportunity — plastic cantina furniture (chairs, tables, bar pieces, glasses) would have transformed this from an exclusive 2-pack into a genuine Mos Eisley cantina diorama set. As-is the cardboard is packaging dressing rather than display infrastructure.

Who This Is For

The strongest reason to acquire this set over the individual single-card releases is Han’s interchangeable hands and the combined Stormtrooper belt/blaster accessories — both figure and accessory loadout are richer than the standard release. The thigh part-number blemish is the trade-off on Han specifically. Greedo is effectively the same figure as the single-card release with minor paint variation.

Secondary market — Toys’R’Us exclusive, 2014, Phase 2 Blue Line. Verify all ten accessories: Han’s blaster, regular belt, Stormtrooper blaster, Stormtrooper belt, vest, two interchangeable hands; Greedo’s blaster, orange vest, removable belt.

Verdict

Han Solo & Greedo Cantina Showdown 2-Pack delivers two of the best Phase 2 Blue Line figures in a single exclusive set — Han with seven accessories including interchangeable hands is genuinely exceptional, Greedo’s trigger-finger blaster and removable vest are cleanly executed, and the scene pairing is inherently compelling. The thigh blemish on Han and the flimsy cardboard furniture are the honest drawbacks. Buy it for the figures; don’t expect the cardboard to do the cantina scene justice.
